Question about Jed McKenna´s cogito discussion

[freshman]

Hello everyone,

I´ve been reading Jed McKenna´s writing about the cogito and the only true knowledge. I´m refering to the piece of text that can be read here: www.harusami.com/soul2soul/jedmckenna/bottomline.htm

Now he states that all that can be know for sure is that 'I am'. I realized no-self but even that realization can not be proven. Or can it? Who is to prove that there is even such a thing as enlightenment. Why does he still write his books to write how enlightenment can be achieved. 'Whadda ya know? Seriously. With absolute certainty, what do you know?'. Realizing that I can not say anything with certainty. That I can not prove anything. What is the whole point of all of it? Nothing can be proven as real.

Kind of disturbed by this. Maybe someone would like to share his/her opinion.

Is it best for all illusions to be seen through?

Freshman,

You ask what is the point of it all?

There is no point to any of this, no rhyme or reason whatsoever.
And that is the beauty.

The problem of 'unenlightenment' isn't about what you don't know, it's about what you DO know.

Thanks. Still. How can I verify anything to be the truth? How do I prove an illusion to be an illusion. Right now I don't see a way. Is it all just a high probability game?

Simple...

Discover who and what you really are.

There isn't ultimately some True knowledge, so of course nothing can be proven to be ultimately true. What is believed to be true is only true in limited contexts, and so it can be practical and can even be useful to help mind expand to progressively larger contexts until it reaches the boundaries of concepts themselves. It's possible to reveal illusions by questioning them, because they ARE illusions. They form in the mind but you aren't a mind. The issue is even more fundamentally about the willingness to see.
