The will conditions knowledge, but knowledge doesn't condition the will

representation of what?

*your world is how you see things through the goggles of your own knowledge and experience, your world is your representation of the world, but the world isn't affected by anyone's knowledge and experience, since the world isn't affected by any representation, but a subject that is to be considered by your own brain.

fixed it for you, op

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.

That sounds a lot like knowing

Knowledge totally conditions the will. It is knowledge/belief that transform the desires you will to achieve.

Faith *is* knowing, it's just Protestants that don't really believe their own religion that have bargained it down from that.

I've always hated the word faith. Too many meanings attributed to it.

Not any less meanings than truth (I'm serious). Truth has more meanings than just justified true belief, not counting types of truths. Metaphysics likewise also has many meanings. Fuck, ALL of philosophy is a mess of terms that aren't clear (materialism, idealism, etc.) once you really get deep into the problems. The problem becomes worse when philosophers decide that they need to be special and use a new term with a meaning that an older term already has.

I guess it's time to wank to some Alice in Wonderland or someshit. Woah, look at that tangent. The World, uh, Jojo, Dio, wryyyyy.

Fucking semantics.
