"You know what that means? It's Latin. It means Know Thyself. I'm going to let you in on a little secret. It's like being in love. No one can tell you you're in love, you just know it. Through and through. Balls to bones."
theracence.n. a certainty of knowledge impressed upon one through other channels than logical deduction or belief; a knowledge that enters directly into one's mind along with the indisputable certainty that it is true, which cannot be derived from only observation of existence, and results in a knowing more certain than that which one can derive from observation alone.
