As for knowledge and sensation, how do you know when you are having a sensation? Is there a sensation that you are having a sensation? And then a sensation that you are having a sensation about that sensation? And how does that become knowledge about that sensation?
Only our God-given spirit can make it intelligible...

And then a sensation that you are having a sensation about that sensation? And how does that become knowledge about that sensation? Sure sounds like the quote from one of the Richard Feynman books...
Something like
I wonder why
I wonder why
I wonder why I wonder
I wonder why I wonder why
I wonder why I wonder
Or words to that effect...
Cheers!
