Greg, I really appreciate the distinction between knowing and learning. I hear a similar distinction in St. Antony's words, "I no longer fear God, I now love him." (Or something like that.) Knowing is often a means of protection whereas learning means I must be vulnerable, open, receptive. I would rather know than learn. It is easier and safer. I suspect learning is closely related to repentance. I also find it interesting that the mystics speak of the path of unknowing. 

Peace,
Mike+
