The concept of Unknowable is better expressed as the non-awareness part of the “awareness – non-awareness” dichotomy. Please see Universe and Awareness.

This space shall contain comments that pertain to research into unknowable:
From Maria (Ref. Knowable and Unknowable):
I understand what you are describing here. It aligned extremely well with my past experience but it does not align with my own experience very accurately these days. Probably the language, which becomes very clumsy.
There is a level beyond knowing that we can and do “experience.” I cannot say “I” experience it to even halfway accurately describe this. It does not have any manifestation associated with it and “I” becomes a meaningless word. What follows is the best description I can presently offer:
Knowing, perceiving, experiencing in this reality (in which I am typing) as me is never anything more than a perception of the past and with a successive series of present moments. They are successive ONLY in interchange and they are not particularly precise. Even the future in this reality is already past. It is already past because it was already created as what will be. So there is really only now and then in this reality.
Simultaneously and always there is a true now. It is NOT in the time stream. It is the source of the time stream. It is not past, present or “future.” And this is where me goes beyond the limited being me.
While it is true that this state is not knowable in any “concrete” way, including concept, thought, mental images, physical forms, emotion, perception (bodily or otherwise) it is also true that it is a some kind of wellspring or source of these things. I don’t “know about” it. “I” don’t “know” it. I am and I am more than I am no fixed state and the words fail miserably.
I am sorry I cannot be more clear about this. I assure you this is real, more real than any manifestation of anything and I love it beyond all things. In my “self” it is a state of complete ease that often reflects into emotion as unbelievable joy, and from there into the body as lightness and brightness and sheer exuberance.
It is unknowable in the terms of this world, in terms of things, yes. But it is real beyond all limited reality.
Vinaire’s comment:
“Unknowable” is just an enticing placeholder that dares one to challenge it. It postulates that there always will be something that is not known no matter how deep you may dive into it…. somewhat like an infinte series. It is quite an exciting concept for me.
.
The “unknowable” is postulated simply to warn, “DO NOT REST AFTER DISCOVERING A STABLE DATUM. THERE IS NO LAST WORD.”
