Knowledge represents the past.

Anything you can know has already happened.  What you  know is based on perceptions of the past: taught to you by others or memories from your own experiences.

Imagination represents the future.

We imagine things that could be:  maybe things we want to be,  maybe things that will be.  They are possibilities.  The future is a cloud of possibilities.

Awareness is now.

Now is neither knowledge nor imagination.  Awareness is the bridge between what has been and what will be.
