Well, we already had a really good discussion about this yesterday morning so I don't have much to comment on. ^^;
As I said to you on MSN, all of this is absolutely right.
"...knowledge leads to suffering, which itself leads to a higher knowledge." Almost all of the enlightened people that I've heard about and have read/listened to a bit have all suffered immensely before they reached their enlightened state. They say that most people who become enlightened hit rock bottom of such a degree that they simply say, "There must be another way." That other way does lead to higher knowledge, but not in the way I think you mean it here. The knowledge is more a deeper sense of "knowing."
You're right about the ignorant people too. Although, instead of choosing not to know things as you imply, they disconnect themselves from the deeper knowing, and feel as though this world is okay, when really it's not.
I find it amazing that you are this close yet still denying the ultimate conclusion... being part of the whole isn't that bad. :p
