Who is entitled to decide how we get to know God? God owes us nothing. An epistemic humility is the starting point to come into relationship with him.

Curiosity is great, except when it's not.

Philosophy, Emory University “Careful Curiosity: Curiosity as an Epistemic and Ethical Virtue”

[the-ephemeral-ethereal]

Knowledge is not a copy of reality. To know an object, to know an event, is not simply to look at it and make a mental copy or image of it. To know an object is to act on it. To know is to modify, to transform the object, and to understand the process of this transformation, and as a consequence to understand the way the object is constructed.

from Development and Learning by Jean Piaget
