Summary

Ever hear the phrase “ignorance is bliss”? Chances are you have. So then let me ask you this, if ignorance is bliss, why seek knowledge at all? Why waste your time listening to me (Phil Svitek) talk about theories and concepts? I know from my own experience that sometimes the more I learn the more confused I am. I wouldn’t be shocked if you’ve listened to my past 20 lessons and scratched your head saying “what is he talking about?” In this lesson I take a deep look at our understanding of what knowledge is and why we’re in search of it. More importantly, I give specifics of what you should look for and what you shouldn’t. Utilizing thinkers such as Don Miguel Ruiz, Viktor Frankl, Sir Isaac Newton and the story of Adam and Eve, I’ll illustrate the power words have in shaping our reality and why we must understand the true nature of knowledge. Be careful, it might just make you question everything. And once you’ve checked out the episode, be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have so I can respond.  Full Transcript: https://philsvitek.com/if-ignorance-is-bliss-why-seek-knowledge/ The Voice of Knowledge Book: https://www.amazon.com/Voice-Knowledge-Practical-Guide-Inner/dp/1878424548 Apple Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a-phil-svitek-podcast/id1211417581?mt=2  AfterBuzz Contact Page: http://www.afterbuzztv.com/contact-faq/#toggle-id-18  Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd-Q6qZNFcQ9MJLXMMpSCJcjPAq-5lepX  SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/phil-svitek  Facebook: http://facebook.com/philippsvitek  Google Podcast: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy82ZGIwYWEwL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Ac7WjgaGaIAmc4nEZJFIY  Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/anchor-podcasts/a-phil-svitek-podcast Anchor: https://anchor.fm/phil-svitek  Phil’s Instagram: http://instagram.com/philsvitek  Juliet’s Instagram: http://instagram.com/bonjourjuliet  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/philsvitek

The Phil Blog Phillip Hong Back when Phil was a young kid, he kept a note of his thoughts in a black book. This black book has been filled and he has moved on to journals of different colours, but it didn't seem complete to just write it. As a result, Phil decided to record his journal. Green Millennium, The by Fritz Leiber (1910 - 1992) LibriVox From the classic science-fiction and fantasy author Fritz Leiber comes this intriguing tale of a green cat. From the author's introduction: "The world Phil Gish lived in was not a pretty one, and Phil didn't enjoy living in it. He was disillusioned, purposeless, hopeless, and haunted by the fear that a robot would take over his job. But then Phil was a timid person, not much given to adventure seeking. If he hadn't been so mild he might have found his kicks at All Amusements, the syndicated playground where anyone could find fun, providing he had the proper sadistic and otherwise aberrated elements in his personality. But Phil was good—and bored.And then one day a cat perched on his window—not an ordinary cat—a green cat. For the first time in years Phil was happy. He promptly named the cat Lucky because he somehow knew that as long as the cat stayed with him he'd feel fine. But Lucky didn't stay long. In a matter of minutes he had disappeared into All Amusements park.
