When discussing the embodiment of knowledge, we find that it is inherently present within the physical framework of our composite identities; simply put, the human body is an archive housing our most antiquated and primordial instincts while also digesting the daily intake of information that we encounter. From the study of Epigenetics and hereditary trauma to Indigenous Eastern beliefs of information being held in specific vectors of the body, there is an overall consensus of how intricately we store data within ourselves. This makes the embodiment of knowledge readily available by connecting to one’s own physical entity. Subsequently, the relationship to knowledge is in fact a reflection of relationship to self. I relate to knowledge by using my body as a median; holding all that is learned and receiving all that is to come. In order to relate with the information one has obtained, a connection to self-identification must be present. We as humans, who possess cognitive adaptability, are a summation of our experiences, circumstances, and interactions; who we are {speaking in terms of what we’ve observed, digested, and internalized} is what we know and what we know is who we are. One cannot not separate themselves from the knowledge that they’ve obtained for it is woven into the very structure of self creating the foundations of one’s beliefs, customs, and traditions; in other words, our identity.
