Summary: Today we are talking about Two Kinds of Knowledge. This episode deals with two kinds of knowledge, conceptual knowledge and experiential knowledge.<br> Conceptual is knowledge about something. Experiential is knowledge of something. Conceptual knowledge deals with objective reality. This is the realm of science and rational inquiry. Experiential knowledge deals with subjective reality. This is the realm of emotions and intuition.<br> In talking about conceptual knowledge we use what is called day language. This is the language of mathematics and literal facts. In talking about experiential knowledge we use what is called night language. This is the language of myth and metaphor.<br> It is important to remember that there are two kinds of knowledge and, hence, two kinds of speaking. Both are valid in their proper domain. But we should not confuse the two. The Genesis creation myth is not science, it is night language. We know this because there is talking a snake and later a talking donkey. This is not to be taken literally.<br> Science tells us what exists, personal experience tells us what it means. There is no conflict if we keep them separate. We want scientific facts as well as psychological well-being.<br> We are entering an era where there needs to be a convergence of science and spirituality. Where they overlap, where they differ, science is almost always the surer way.<br> Please Share the Podcast<br> <br> <a class="synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-48 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Share on Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fnatureissacred.com%2F002-two-kinds-knowledge%2F&t=Two%20Kinds%20of%20Knowledge%20%13%20002&s=100&p%5Burl%5D=http%3A%2F%2Fnatureissacred.com%2F002-two-kinds-knowledge%2F&p%5Bimages%5D%5B0%5D=http%3A%2F%2Fi1.wp.com%2Fnatureissacred.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F07%2Flake-696098_640.jpg%3Ffit%3D640%252C425&p%5Btitle%5D=Two%20Kinds%20of%20Knowledge%20%13%20002" style="font-size: 0px; width: 48px; height: 48px; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-right: 5px;"></a><a class="synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-48 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Share on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnatureissacred.com%2F002-two-kinds-knowledge%2F&text=Hey%2C%20check%20this%20podcast" style="font-size: 0px; width: 48px; height: 48px; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-right: 5px;"></a><a class="synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-48 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-google_plus nolightbox" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Share on Google+" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnatureissacred.com%2F002-two-kinds-knowledge%2F" style="font-size: 0px; width: 48px; height: 48px; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-right: 5px;"></a><a class="synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-48 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-reddit nolightbox" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Share on Reddit" href="http://www.reddit.com/submit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnatureissacred.com%2F002-two-kinds-knowledge%2F&title=Two%20Kinds%20of%20Knowledge%20%13%20002" style="font-size: 0px; width: 48px; height: 48px; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-right: 5px;"></a><a class="synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-48 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-pinterest nolightbox" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Pin it with Pinterest" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnatureissacred."></a>
