When I say that...I do mean "KNOW" in the traditional sense of the word...and my reason is that all of our knowledge is filtered through our perceptions and colored by our dreams of the past, our unconscious fears and our desires conscious and unconscious...all these factors make the picture of what we call "reality" Subjective instead of objective...so we can't objectively prove much of anything...therefore knowledge in it's traditional meaning isn't really obtainable at all.
Objective knowledge of self is available.

You complicate things so much. It doesn't matter what you think, believe or feel. The person inside your body is real. The person that does all those things is real. Your world view of reality isn't in question. The question is who are you right now? Who is the whole person inside of your body?
