For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing.
Theology is the effort to explain the unknowable in terms of the not worth knowing.
There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.
The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God as if he stood there and they here. This is not so. God and I, we are one in knowledge.
God is therefore unknowable. This is the fundamental premise of the Bible.
There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Many people make the mistake of confusing information with knowledge. They are not the same thing. Knowledge involves the interpretation of information. Knowledge involves listening.
Apart from the known and the unknown, what else is there?
To know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.
