On the Essence of A Priori in Metaphysics

A priori is an existence of knowledge transcending our experiences. It would be like knowing what the world looks like with a fourth physical dimension or seeing the composite of color without ever having seen, or even without knowing you were supposed to see. It is unfathomable. It is not the speculation, but the knowing of what you cannot know. It is the inexplicable understanding that reaches beyond one's capacity for thought.
And it is what we all aspire to; in our quest for the great and godly recognition of the universe's purpose and intent.  We cannot truly know until we rise above the limits of what we are able to know, to grasp; until we break free of the boundaries of thought. This takes a kind of a priori conceivably only existence of immortal omniscience, a discernment of the interworkings of matter and non-matter that is completely out of the grasp of erred human thought. The only way we may reach beyond the mind to take hold of a knowledge that is not ours, that we cannot comprehend, and to begin to unwind it; is to accept the omnidirectional transmittance of a metaphysical being; the One collection of thought and matter that excels our limited experience.
The possession of a priori is not in our knowing, but in an omissible knowing that is not ours. And even then, it is beyond our perception; much like the blind who have never seen still cannot see what is described to them; what light, what color; and the qualities of language and its interpretation are lost to the inevitable void and nonexistence of an explanation that cannot be identified nor interpreted.
Until language and its cognizance are perfect in understanding, we will never be able to take hold of the experiences and reason of the world beyond us. We will never reach into the indefinable nature of what we do not know and cannot understand. We are an abyss of thought; our unique perceptions lost to the wind or sunk into the sea. We desert the earth, deprive it at our death, leaving with a substantial feeling of après moi le déluge. What we try to convey fades and is crackled, encoded; becoming lost in the unreachable enigma of interpretation. We, as humans, cannot fathom the nature of a priori. And until our language is perfected and every heart understood, until God himself reaches out from infinite dimension, we never will.

Could you describe time to someone who had never experienced it?
