KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
THE PROCESS OF KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION AND LEARNING
Knowledge acquisition is an elaborate, subjective, cognitive activity that consists of least twelve parts that mysteriously conjoin. Those parts are:
1) what knowledge you may already have as human;
2-3) the nature of knowledge that is conveyed directly, specifically to you by whom or by what;
4-5) in what form that knowledge that is transmitted and when;
6-7) how much of that knowledge you can absorb, and then process;
8) environmental conditions;
9) your state of active health, and
10) your attitude toward learning this knowledge;
11)knowledge that is not directly nor specifically conveyed to you, but elsewhere, that you nevertheless acquire;
✓ 12) innate Divine knowledge
"Understanding" is the product of that knowledge, however acquired, that is mixed with intuitive wisdom.
