There are three spiritual modes in which knowledge rises and falls, and by which it moves and changes. These are the body, the soul and the spirit.
Although knowledge is a single whole by its nature, it changes the way and form of its action in relation to each of these three.
“Knowledge is a gift of God to the nature of rational beings, given to them at the beginning, at their creation. It is naturally simple and undivided, like the light from the sun, but in its function in relation to the body, the soul, and the spirit it changes and becomes divided.”

St. Justin Popovich
