The acronym KHTK stands for “Knowing how to Know.” It draws its inspiration from Buddhism. The central concept of KHTK is mindfulness. Mindfulness is seeing things as they are without assuming anything. Mindfulness provides the discipline for looking and contemplation.
All forms of desires essentially put pressure on us to know what is there. We often succumb to assumptions to relieve those pressures. As we act on those assumptions, unwanted conditions follow.
Perception tells us what is there. Sensations are part of perception. Through the application of mindfulness KHTK looks for inconsistencies in whatever is perceived. An inconsistency is something puzzling, or something that does not make sense. A closer look at inconsistency clarifes what is there as opposed to what is being assumed. The answers to ‘why’ and ‘how’ resolve swiftly with this clarification.
NOTE (added 08/03/2022): The word ANOMALY conveys the sense of “inconsistencies” better.
ANOMALY
An anomaly is any violation of the integrity of reality, such as, discontinuity (missing data), inconsistency (contradictory data), or disharmony (arbitrary data). An anomaly flags the presence of an impression on the mind, which is hidden under an assumption. When one spots the assumption, and becomes aware of the underlying impression, the anomaly resolves with a realization.
KHTK believes in the model used by Buddha 2600 years ago that knowledge should be free for the benefit of all. Therefore, anything researched under KHTK is made freely available to all.
KHTK finds subjects, such as, Scientology, to be quite fascinating. The techniques evolved in these subjects, when used mindfully by oneself, can lead to excellent realizations about reality. Such techniques are being made available at KHTK Mindfulness in the form of exercises.

KHTK is designed for self-application at the grass-roots level. KHTK is freely available on this blog to anybody who is interested. One may easily instruct another in the use of KHTK.
In today’s Information Age it is not necessary to accumulate knowledge in the mind. One only needs to resolve inconsistencies in knowledge derived from any source, whether from the West or from the East.
If something taught in Buddhism is inconsistent with what one has learned from Christianity, then somewhere underlying that inconsistency is an assumption. The assumption may be located through the application of mindfulness.
KHTK aims to help develop the ability to spot and resolve inconsistencies by training people on mindfulness.
