There are several words often used more or less indiscriminately to express what we mean when we say we know anything, and as knowing is known only to a knower, words relating to knowing are not definable ultimately other than by appeal to the knowingness in a knower.
We may say we know a thing, we are aware of it, we are conscious of it, we feel it, we sense it, etc.

The word “consciousness” shall be used wherever the contents of a zone of sentience are analysed into discrete forms, kept separate from each other, and yet related by their similarities and dissimilarities. We can hold together all circumscribed forms, similar in..., feeling, sensation; all these words refer to that whereby we know what we know. It is significant and important that we cannot indicate what we mean by one of these words without appealing to that in us which corresponds with their significance, that is, to that in us which knows that it knows.

Knowledge is a now-moment balanced precariously upon a sword-edge between what has been and what willThe point of initiation of a change. Will is the moment of choice. Will is not wish, want, desire or dominant desire. The prerequisite to will is the equilibration of all bias, influence, inhibition, impedance, interference & disturbance. Will is conscious choice and requires prior elimination of all imbalances. be.

Knowledge becomes empty in the momentThe ‘point of orientation’. Time is quantised as moments, for it is made of impulses to orientate.
