The More You Know
Most life is intrinsically curious to some degree, from kittens to kids. Curiosity is an emotion that pushes us to explore our environment and learn new things. As with all emotions however, there is a need for balance.
Making a discovery, be it universal or personal, is emotionally and physically satisfying for most of us. We have love addicts, sex addicts, thrill junkies – all of them because of the pleasure gained from a certain emotional satisfaction.
Tenses of Being
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.
