Short Story: Heavenly knowledge can only enter oneself through the gate of love. Love what you do, and you will be knowledgeable in what you do

Doctor Zal Zalstone, had been a medical doctor, for well over fifty years, and at nearing seventy-five years of age, he was thinking of hanging up his stethoscope, for good now.
The good doctor never did retire though, as a pandemic had come into his country, and his services were now even more required.
He worked for another five years.
Then, he left the employ of his boss's clinic, and he went out into the fields to help the wounded on the battlefields, during the war, that had started in the meantime.
He was killed on such a field, while administering to a wounded soldier, who survived, because of this good doctor.
The doctor died, and went to heaven.
God said to him then,
"Good, good we are in urgent need for good doctors like you here too. There are a lot of wounded souls here in Heaven, and I will assign you right away to begin working for them, with them, right now."
The old doctor smiled, as he replied to God.
"It is good to feel needed. It is almost as good as the feeling of being loved too."
And so, he went off to work with the wounded souls in Heaven.

The old doctor was not even allowed to take a rest in Heaven, before his work began for him, once more again.

i would tend to be on the fence here. I believe knowledge and love can exist separately and therefore the knowledge within the more of heaven or the afterlife can exist beyond love.

@innertalks you ask (as always) a very interesting question. Yes. Knowledge and love are separate. We can have knowledge without love, and love without needing knowledge (faith).

@DocAndersen Of course, it probably depends on the playing field that we are in too, I might add.
In God's playing field of oneness, they, love and knowledge, are not separated, as nothing is separated in oneness.
Within oneness nothing is separate, and everything relies on everything else.
Therefore total love cannot exist on its own within us, only within God is love total oneness, as itself/on its own, and God's love contains total knowledge too.
We are built differently than God is though, in that we need a beginning level of love, the spark of love in our heart, and a beginning level of knowledge, the innate knowledge in our mind, and then within the life process, we use one to mine the other, and to increase/grow ourselves in both areas, in order to build wisdom, a combination of knowledge and love, which has its own power, then coming from this combinative alliance too, which cannot happen in us, without this combination being made.

@DocAndersen The difference is though, that God built us, but who built God?
We might be just chips off the old block, but who created the old block?
If time is only relative, Einstein might not agree with you there.
Our learning needs to be stretched across time for some reason, but does God need to learn anything at all, or was his program perfect from forever, and so no learning is needed for God, as he's just chuckling over the ways that we do things, while he always knows how to do everything.
If God does need to learn, where is that source of learning held, and this would mean that unlearnt learning, or unpotentialised knowledge; would exist somewhere unknown, and be actually greater than God.

We spend so much of our life working, though, if everyone could take more joy from their work, the whole world would be a more joyful place, as a result of that too.
