The answer to your question lies in the very question itself. You ask "how do I know what the creator knows? How do I know that which is known to the divine?" Simple: Be the divine! Be the creator!

One can only know that which he can associate with. Everything you know is an association. Where is the association to the divine? All you have is an image, an ideal of what the divine is, so the only knowledge you can hope to attain, regarding the divine, is that of the image. Such knowledge is not from the divine, but of the mind.

You are not associated with the divine, else you would already know a bit about it. There can be no association of the divine, so there can be no attaining of such knowledge. You can only attain that which you have a relation to. Your relation to the divine is an imaginary one, like all of your other relations, so it will lead to frustration, suffering and confusion.

You want to know what the divine knows. The divine is not a being with knowledge. The divine is experience. Knowledge is an illusion! Experience is reality. You cannot know what the divine knows, because the divine knows nothing. The divine is the experience, so even if you experienced the divine, that experience is still separate from you. You must be the divine in order to be the experience. Becoming that experience is the answer to all your illusory questions.

So how do you be the divine? Do you have any ideas on how to do it?
