Knowledge - The "Double" edged sword

Is this like that story about the newspaper giving out so much information that terrorists were able to know what the FBI was doing and were able to avoid getting caught?

The enlightenment should be that there is no point in desiring power, doing evil, no point checking, competing or punishing others. We are all ESSENTIALLY the same droplets in the ocean. NOTHING is dangerous cos nothing really matters except KNOWING. Know the self and the self as part of the universe. Being spiritual internally more important than appearing religious externally

The proper enlightenment should be: No point in gaining power or do evil etc. cos nothing really matters as everyone, everything is ESSENTIALLY the same droplet in the ocean. Knowledge is "gaining" to know this to discover the true self, to know one's part in the universe and the "reality". No point in checking, competing, punishing others. Spiritual is more important than being seen as religious

Every object can be dangerous. If bad things happen or if fall into wrong hands. The target should not be knowledge per se BUT INTENTION. STILL more knowledge IS better than lack of knowledge AMONG the masses who are in danger of following blindly. The contradiction: powerful knowledge to be kept only by the elite few yet keep the followers in the dark about abuse?

What he is saying is essentially the SAME as what a Muslim or a Christian priest says to their flock. The outcome: Do not question. Keep in line. But that is precisely what organized religions ARE doing. Isn't this already dangerous? No knowledge is dangerous just as no object is.

I pity the fools who abide in darkness, for theirs is the veil reserved for eternal death.

Do not Question the creator, he granted you life, he can also destroy it!
