Looking out my window as dawn slips in among the tree branches, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s easy to feel that a quality of knowing simultaneously slips into my mind–the two together.<\/p>\n

However this ready agreement cloaks a different and deeply engrained perspective.\u00c2\u00a0 In relating to the idea of knowledge, I envision that a knowing capacity resides in me, along with pertinent knowledge.\u00c2\u00a0 In appreciating the dawn as the visitation of a moment, I also draw upon memories of sitting on this same couch at this time of day–locating myself in relation to the movements of Sun and Earth.<\/p>\n

While contemplating the possibility that my knowledgeable interest arises together with whatever appearance stimulates that interest, I seem unable to avoid envisioning a thing known by a knower who can draw upon memories of the past.<\/p>\n

It is interesting that–in exploring space\u00e2\u20ac\u201dDynamics of Time and Space<\/em> refers to Communication<\/em> and knowledge of appearance, <\/em>which seem to be elements of knowledge<\/em> more than attributes of space<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 Perhaps that is because knowledge<\/em> plays a more forthright role in human life than either time<\/em> or space.<\/em><\/p>\n

Space<\/em> allows and accommodates, but rarely steps into the centre of human affairs.\u00c2\u00a0 Time<\/em> is alive in pervasive rhythms, but we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t build time-castles out of the falling rain.\u00c2\u00a0 We seem to realize that in order to move closer to the presence of time<\/em> and space<\/em> a quality of knowing<\/em> must flower.<\/p>\n

Perhaps our intimacy with knowledge is best celebrated in that striking image in the original TSK book: Knowledge<\/em> is the child of Time<\/em> and Space<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 Like proud parents, Time<\/em> and Space <\/em>follow Knowledge<\/em> into the human realm and–as proud parents–delight in the Ooh’s and Ah’s that greet knowledge<\/em> in its new life.\u00c2\u00a0 After all, the family resemblance is obvious to anyone who wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t born yesterday.<\/p>\n

Wait.\u00c2\u00a0 How would I know if I was just born?\u00c2\u00a0 Perhaps all these apparent memories and this sense of inhabiting a body with a history of engagements and relationships, is but one grand but fleeting visitation–knowledge dancing in an echo chamber of its own realizations.<\/p>\n

In that case you might want to ignore this because there is a probability that both of us are a communication of knowledge who only imagine that we exist in a world external to our thoughts about it.\u00c2\u00a0 And I wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to waste your time, crowd your space, or treat universal knowledge as my own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
