In The Hindu Tradition, there is a branch on The Yoga Tree called Jnana. It is generally referred to as The Path of Knowledge. I like to think of it as The Path of Acquired Wisdom. The knowledge spoken of is not General Knowledge of The World. It is intended to mean, Knowledge of The Indwelling Self.

I like to think of how we see things in Western Culture as being... generally... intellectual to begin with, and the next step is visceral; where you make it part of you. In the tradition, I mentioned... these two forms of knowledge perception are called Jnana and Vijnana. Ramakrishna said the first includes those who are aware of fire; some of whom may have only heard about it. The second includes those who have made fire and cooked on it. If you think about it... it will reveal a great deal.

However, because Western Culture is in a state of serious decline... even the intellectual perspective is an endangered thing, since... we have now devolved into a state of simple sensory reactions of Like and Dislike. That is resulting in people like this.
