A Conjecture
Nov. 13th, 2022 12:28 pmI'm not sure if I've got this right, but I was thinking...
The Mind is motionless, and its Act is simply to Be. So it Knows everything there is to Know simply be virtue of Existing.
But the Soul is mobile, and its Act is to Do. So while from the perspective of the Mind, the Soul Knows everything there is to Know, from the Soul's perspective, It only Knows it by Doing it.
And this is why we exist here in the world. If something here in the material is discovered for the first time (from the perspective of time, of course), then it finally becomes Known to the Soul and is immediately accessible thereafter to all souls. (At least those who are focused "upwards" rather than "downwards.")
That is, the things we do here is the Soul coming to Know Itself, in imitation of the Mind.
