For example, the mind and the spirit of man are aware of all his states and conditions, of all the parts and members of his body, and of all his physical sensations, as well as of his spiritual powers, perceptions, and conditions.

This knowledge is not the result of effort and acquisition: It is an existential matter; it is pure bounty
