already exist in us -- one that is not quite a sense (in the eyes, ears, nose tongue and skin sense), but that -- nevertheless -- affords us
knowledge that could not be otherwise obtained -- some people call that FAITH -- and it doesn't have to have anything to do with the angel gabriel or everlasting anything -- faith, in my book, is simply a
posture of listening -- which one assumes without any expectation that there will be a sound -- consider: this is the ANTITHESIS of personal knowledge (any knowledge acquired by oneself, by way of one's own senses) -- what i'm saying is -- maybe i already know when i'm going to die (actually, it seems ridiculous that i wouldn't know) -- but the manner of knowing is different than the manner in which i know that i am wearing jeans right now -- you follah -- ? --
