Fourth Day: The Definitions of Intellect, Emotion, and the Elements of Knowledge.

The fourth cycle of creation.

The definition of intellect and emotion, which, through experiences, lead to knowledge, to the knowing and understanding of concrete laws (stars).

Genesis 1:19

In the first cycle, the laws of Heaven appear on Earth. A law is a law because it defines the existence of something that appears in the material world. Consciousness is present, and the conscious I emerges from unconscious existence by beginning to perceive what appears in the material world.

The second cycle defines time so that consciousness perceives the material world in a way that is limited by time and space, enabling it to distinguish the laws of Heaven. Thus, it becomes capable of perceiving and comprehending separately that which appears in the material world.

The third cycle is the sequence of experiences, which arranges experiences according to the knowability of the laws and always presents the appropriate experience to consciousness. The laws that are already known determine what we are currently capable of knowing, because, based on the network of relationships among the laws, we are able to know only what can be connected to our current knowledge. Therefore, the sequence of experiences arranges the laws to be known in the appropriate order.

The fourth cycle consists of the forms of the laws of Heaven formulated by intellect: concrete definitions that shine like stars for consciousness. Intellect creates definitions from experiences, through which it becomes capable of perceiving the appearing experiences with even greater clarity.

In this way, the conscious I emerges from unconscious existence by existing in the material world identified with the definitions it has created, and its already acquired knowledge is present in the world as the I.

The light of consciousness is the knowledge that it possesses, and through experiences, new knowledge continually becomes accessible and knowable.

Thus, the fourth cycle defines knowable knowledge as individual elements, as definitions, as units that can be defined by intellect.

Of knowable knowledge, the knowledge that is already known becomes part of the conscious I, while the knowledge that is not yet known exists unconsciously. During experiences, knowledge that cannot yet be perceived or known influences consciousness as emotions, because consciousness does not yet possess knowledge to which it can connect what appears during its experiences.

Thus, the unconscious I always contains all laws. One part of the laws is already known, and this becomes the conscious I. One part has already become perceptible, and this becomes knowable knowledge, which appears in experiences. One part is not yet knowable, but already appears in experiences at the level of emotions. The remaining laws cannot yet be perceived even at the level of emotions and therefore remain completely inaccessible to consciousness. They become perceptible only as knowledge continues to develop.
