We can only know what our worldview allows us to know. When we understand that spiritual growth comes in waves or levels, then we realize we can only see the world from the stage we are at. The bigger, more compassionate, more inclusive, more truthful view of the next stage is not yet present in us. It can be “near,” as Jesus told one person, “You are not far from the Kingdom.” But until it is present within us, we will not “know.” The greater perspective is not ours until we enter the land and take it.
