STAGE 1 to 12 new insights appear to us like the endresult of a sequence of events.
Yet a time of emergence of an insight exists only in these (lower) stages. In the state of all-comprehensive knowledge our consciousness ceases to be influenced by time. Concepts like 'consecutive', simultaneous' or sequence' now do not apply to us any more. There is no 'evolution of insights as we know it presently.
In this state we perceive all elements of this universe and their features and manifestations in past, present and future simultaneously.
Knowledge vs. Data Our present time believes it impossible to carry the totality of knowledge within. Knowing how much effort it takes to gain insight into a limited field alone, the sheer volume of exponentially growing information makes it appear impossible to be in command of all the data of this world.
Yet this amassing external data is not what is meant here.
The mass of external data we generally interpret as 'knowledge' is at best raw material. It has no impact on us as long as we do not actively integrate it into our consciousness. Information recorded in books or other storage media tends to stay in the books when we need it most.
We experience this e.g. at the time of exams, when to our horror knowledge we studied for months or even years suddenly is blanked from our consciousness. This drastically demonstrates that formal data all by itself does not produce knowledge.
