Knowledge and Wisdom
A few words
Knowledge: To know of or about a thing.
Wisdom: To have experience with a thing.
Ken: To see, understand, & commune things.
Everything is infinite in meaning and in of itself. Every chair is infinitely the “platonic form” of itself even as it is a subset of a greater “platonic form” kent only to God. Only God can fully say or ken anything’s true being. Everything is distinct and united: in communion with each other in and with God to a greater or lesser degree.
Man, the Icon of God, can ken to an infinitely lesser and infinite extent. By the Fall, the Icon was marred. By the Resurrection, the Icon began to be repaired. Men only kens and is when he aligns with God.
This is why people who reject Christianity become retarded, degenerate, horrible specimens of mankind. As they reject God, they redamage and further destroy their being. Liberals, Mohammedans, “jews”, and neopagans have this in common. This is why they act the same.
To ken something, to understand it, to stand under it, humble yourself to it. To see it for what it is, love even the unlovable, respect even the unrespectable. This is how prideful men become stupid. They trod the pebble and the stone turns their ankle.
