"Omniscience" -- defined by Merriam-Webster as "having infinite awareness, understanding and insight; possessed of universal or complete knowledge."
Otherwise known in our Mahayana perspectives as perfectly evolved wisdom, compassion and a complete understanding of everything that could ever be understood in order to fully awaken; to become a brilliantly pure 'helper' of other beings . . . aka Buddhahood.
Fact or fiction? Fairy tale, wishful thinking or Buddhist contemplative mind-science? Is this each sentient beings' (yes, including yours) attainable potential, our embryonic "True Nature" . . . or an imaginatively egoistic dream-scape?
Some are doubtful, others skeptical or cynical, and then there's those who simply knee-jerk into ridiculing the notion.
But perhaps -- for the thoughtful -- doubt serves as a prolific gateway along the path . . .
