Knowing-seeing-thinking-feeling hands

A space that is beyond known points of reference that comes about from having encountered spaces sufficient enough number of times that familiarity brings in a sense of knowing because the nervous system has been there before enough times and now recognizes the landscape. It is not the slow 1+1=2 logic anymore but intuition (automated logic that has come about from repeatedly putting one and one together) and is a space that is at the frontier between the known and the unknown, where the 'unknown' is the open space of the mysterious that has its resonance in the known but is like the missing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that is yet to be put together, only that this is a jigsaw puzzle whose location in time and space, and hence the how/where, is yet to be determined. When someone is in training to recognize spaces/textures/sensations and the hands are the tools of trade, then there comes a point where the hands begin to become knowing-seeing-thinking-feeling hands.
