Why does one forget so many things  in the course of one's life? Why, on the other hand, the knowledge we  retain has some peculiar, non-quantifiable, qualities to it? What it  means to be in the know?

These are the questions we'll try to  answer in this podcast, by referring them to one all encompassing  distinction - that between 'Being' and 'having being'. As always we  begin with real life examples of the problem and in the course of  discussion touch upon the important subject of personal identity, i.e.  we denounce the error of identifying the person with the consciousness,  an error that becomes quite apparent when reflecting on act of sleep and  of having dreams. Also, we turn to our previous work on Nicholas of  Cues' De Visione Dei to provide us with some aid in addressing the  problem on the higher level, once we abandon the ground of everyday  experience.
