I am willing to concede that we may have more than five physical senses which keep us informed as to whats going on in the wider Universe... It would explain many things like synchronicity, psychic ability, ghosts, etc...
Also... there is something to be said for the existence of cell/genetic memory... where "knowledge" as such is passed on in the memory of many different cells in our body thru heredity... This is something akin to "instinct.." (but can instinct be considered knowledge?)
Hmmm... i think its impossible to communicate knowledge without language... Even those who "know" something unexplicably (as though they have picked it up thru an additional "sense") have to communicate it in SOME way to others and to themselves...
Unless they DON'T communicate it, but only experience it in visual "flashes" or in physical symptoms...
But still, this "knowledge" is in physical experiences, (roots in empiricism) even without language...
Its seems hard to get out of the physical root of knowledge if we agree that all of reality is a part of this physical Universe...
Hmmm....

It has to be since we have no other means of connecting except by the five senses.
Seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, smelling are all we have to experience God and other people.
I think empiricism steals from reality. It is a fancy word used to describe what the sane already know by making it appear as a new thing.

One wonders how else one learns, because we only have our senses, and even when we sit back and ponder and think, that is based on our senses as well.

All knowledge----no, of course not.
