Knowledge does not resist to time, it does not exist through time. It can not change, or have occurence of events.
Knowledge, when thought about, become ideas in the mind, and so, there is no spatial or temporal existence in any manner, and yet events occur, and ideas have size and shape. A feeling can be biger than another one, and it can be circular (self referential, self-subsistent), or cuadratic (logical)... And it can be in the mind's activity for more, or less time.
Now, this is for when objects of conception are in our mind, but when they leave our mind, to form part of reality, of the world, the whole of their essence changes. Not there substance: they are made of the same qualities, and are of the same quantity, and are of the same type. But they change in essence, in form of being. In the case of what we call Knowledge, these elements are build up of our ability to advance, progress, develop and evolve, they form our explanation of the universe, understanding of the universe, and prediction of the universe.
But what we consider knowledge is that which is a True ideation from the world. Not of the world, or about it, or on it, but from it. That means that it is taken, abduced, stolen from the world, from reality. Or to be more exact, knowledge is taken from the mirror of reality, which is truth, or we should call it shadow of reality. But it is not truth itself: truth is the constant which co-exist to the events, to the change, to the time, to the world. It is there because of us, and for us, but it is there without us. Knowledge is the extraction of Truth data from Truth Space. And When Truth data is taken, then it is not truth but knowledge. Not that it is not true, but that it is not truth itself. It's like when you cut a finger from me, it is not longer part of me, or me, but it is from me, still.
So this Truth Data, to be faster, TD, is Knowledge. This means that it belongs to us, our minds, our thought, our world. It is not longer a medium between Reality and I, it is I itself. And yet, I don't have it as me: I neglect it, I don't believe in it, I don't relly on it. As if I feared it, as if it was told to me by a stranger. Not like my principles: in those I believe, for they are near, they are fundamental of myself. But knowledge is fundamental of the world, and yet it is not the world: it is mine. So there is no time from the world that affects it, and no time from me that affects it.
Knowledge itself is therefore atemporal, but it is mortal. Knowledge stops being Truth since it is Knowledge, therefore it is not the world, and is not related to the world: it is related to what the world was in the SpaceTime point it was Extracted from Truth, but not from the now world. And yet, it is not part of who has the knowledge. We could thus say that knowledge is like adolescence (I myself know it very well): It feels it comes from nowhere, is in nowhere, goes to nowhere, has nothing, is nothing...
Dirty life that of Knowledge, which we all envy and yet would hate to have. That is why we have gods, for instance. |
