tellurian commented on the word theracence
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. To therace: to know in this way, often in the form to therace that.
She possessed theracence of the fundamental nature of the universe, which many said was impossible.
He theraced that what he had just learnt was true.

Annotation: "a type of a priori knowledge that does not involve reasoning and incurs truth." Theracence cannot yield error or falsehood.

"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."

tellurian commented on the word theracence
Aww, what a lovely way to think of it. I certainly think love at first sight would be a type of theracence; when you know without analysis or experience that you were meant to be close to someone, that it is right for someone to be part of your life.
Intuition, also.
