Phenomenal knowing

Phenomenal knowing is a fusion of Perspectival knowing and Participatory Knowledge. I think John Vervaeke unnecessarily separated them

Participatory
"Participatory knowledge (gnosis) is knowing by sharing a fundamental identity with something, a knowing by becoming, which also comes with a certain degree of imitation and internalisation. It’s the knowing you get by binding your identity to something and letting your identity being transformed in conjunction with how that thing is transforming. For example, knowing how to coordinate with your team to win the NBA Championship or how to be a parent by participating in parenthood or how you know a person you love. You don’t just have beliefs about a person you love, or some particular skill that allows you to “work” with them. You know them by how differently you know yourself and the world in knowing them."

From this article

Participatory knowing refers to the way in which we construct and define our own identities and the identities of others within a social context. It is the process by which we co-identify with others and participate in the creation of shared meaning and understanding. This type of knowing involves the negotiation of roles and relationships within a social group or community, and it is closely tied to our sense of agency and our ability to act and make decisions.

Perspectival knowing, on the other hand, refers to our subjective experience of the world and our understanding of the context in which we find ourselves. It is the way in which we pay attention to and interpret our surroundings, and it is shaped by our values, goals, and priorities. Perspectival knowing involves the construction of a "salience landscape," which is a dynamic, textured representation of the things that are most relevant and meaningful to us in a given moment.

Both participatory and perspectival knowing are important for understanding how we navigate the world and make sense of our experiences. They are closely related, as our participatory knowing shapes our perspectival knowing, and our perspectival knowing influences the way we participate in social interactions and make decisions. Together, these forms of knowing help us to construct our identities and make meaning of our experiences in the world.

Kairos
"Kairos is perspectival participatory knowing, knowing exactly the right time to shift the course of events.

In the New Testament, kairos means the time when God acts. Jesus embodies kairos.

The importance of the concept for Christianity was stressed by Paul Tillich."
