Provide the basis of what you believe is the Truth about Knowledge. Provide an answer that transcends society's norm.

Hi, Knowledge is a collection of axioms, rules, assumptions, fashions and thoughts that can be transmitted either formally, or explicit knowledge, informally, or implicit knowledge and genetically, or genetically transmitted knowledge such as language rules, intuition, or imagination., or the combination of all of the afore mentioned.
I defined Knowledge as a collection since it has a social aspect to it and if it can not be transmitted it means it is not clear enough in your mind so it´s confussion and not knowledge.
Also knowledge has nothing to do with truth since knowledge includes true information and false information, or information that has been proved to be incorrect and yet might be disproved incorrect in the past or future. E.g. different theories in time about the shape of the earth.... the euclidian principles or the universality of mathematics which although it is actually considered a truism it is not. It is false and can be so proven just by looking at the history of numbers and hopefully will be reconsidered in the future since it is generating too many incorrect assumptions and even worse results. Eg there are small lies, white lies, big lies and then Statistics, since the way data is collected and processed can influence the outcome and provide a completelly incorrect result.
Best regards

Knowledge is every thing that I learn in the only book on earth which claims divine inspiration. It contains the truth of the living and eternal God who is a God of love, wisdom, power and justice who left it as well as preserved it for our sake, with the assurance that when heeded and put into practice in our daily lives, the knowledge, accurate knowledge it contains, will, for a certainty, lead us to the wisdom of that true God himself and will lead to the cultivating of his very pleasant fruits which he claims to be the fruits of his holy spirit or active force, listed at Galatians 5: 21, 22.

To me it is using both emispheres of our brain wich means :
Having the intelligence of 10 but the imagination of 20!
Einstein knew this somehow...Knowledge is nothing without imagination and intuition. And as someone said in a previous post, ESP is something to develop as well.

knowledge is the comprehension, discernment, learning and recognition of a specific information of a certain existing subject on which someone had worked....... knowledge always speaks but the wisdom listens

According to Epicurus knowledge /wisdom is something that teaches you .......that we cannot live pleasantly without living wisely, honorably and justly, nor can we live wisely, honorably and justly without living pleasanly.
But I think in very simple words
Knowledge is something that relieses your fear, happiness, anger, dissapointment, desire, etc.

I would suggest knowing yourself is a large part of what knowledge is.
