The Jet
Man who invented the jet, without the propeller first acquired all the knowledge about internal combustion machinery but that wasn't enough so he waited to get an idea from the previous knowledge and from that knowledge new inspiration came
So we are adding all the time to the existing knowledge and then living with the consequences of knowledge

Key Questions to ask
- Is invention creation or creation has nothing to do with knowledge?
- Is creation related to man's endeavour or all his experiences or to the duration of time?
- Is it related to war, killing, business, or all that man has acquired?
If it is then it's still part of knowledge.

Further questions to ask
- Is creation related to love? i.e love is not hate, anxiety, jealousy or what you see in temples.
- Is love necessary for creation?
- Love which is also compassion..is love and compassion related to death?
- Is love free from all the meanings given by human beings?
- Is love related to death? Is love compassion and death all that is creation?
- Can there be creation without death?
Death means ending, Vedanta (as per hindus) - the end of all knowledge. Death means no time, timeless, which is love.
So love means compassion, compassion means supreme intelligence, not the knowledge of books and experiences.

Everything else is invention apart from this
There cannot be love and compassion without the ending of everything, i.e death
The result of great profound inquiry into the nature of creation, done with great silence and space is that - The universe is supreme order and that order can only exists when there is supreme intelligence and that intelligence cannot exist without love, compassion and death. Creation is there only when there is love and death. Everything else is invention.
