Wisdom in Not Knowing, pt 1 of 3
Emptiness
What we know is in the way.
What we know can interfere with awakening IF we allow that. As usual, it’s all about the choices we make in every moment. If our choices have us constantly interacting with our electronic gadgets, we’re not choosing to awaken, to find our way into Heart space. Computers & cell phones invite us into a deep pit, forming an effective detour until we spot it.
It isn’t the things that are at fault, here, so let’s not blame them or call them somehow bad or evil. They are not. The issue is our use of free will. We’re always in charge of the self, if nothing else, so let’s go deeper into this.
Let’s center & take another look.
GOING OFF COURSE
In the last month or so I’ve gone off course, finding myself too occupied with mind & thought. 😲 The recent journals have lacked that lovely intensity I’d grown used to, that feeling of flow from the unknown onto the page. When we’re in Heart flow it’s a sensual thing; we can feel this.
How did I go off track, such that I had to withdraw for a few days to sort it out? I jumped the gun. Recognizing that something other than the 3D mind was participating with me now & again, I invited the Divine Mind in. I got ahead of myself, so excited by the feel of that, wanting to make room for it, that I didn’t notice when 3D mind would creep in.
You may see how getting off into the future, into expectations, also got in my way. By claiming something I hadn’t yet mastered, I got ahead of myself, getting in the way of Divine timing. I hope this can be an object lesson about how easily we can (unknowingly) go off course.
This remaining in a flowing state of ease-in-our-Now-moment is a big deal, something that invites us into the Heart portal. It’s also something easily spotted when we know what to look for, when we’re focused internally rather than being constantly entertained by the externals.
NO-THOUGHT
Many of us frequently come into the space of no thought, of a quiet mind. It’s a real marvel compared to our “normal” distracted state, often surprising us with its emptiness before we’re better grounded in Heart. This isn’t reserved for Zen masters & the like, but is available to one & all. It takes active use of free will to align with it, to have the experience.
Stubborn Heart-focus accelerates it into our experience.
HEART-KNOWING IS DIFFERENT
Most of those of us awakening have heard of the wisdom in knowing nothing, so what’s with that? What on earth can it mean? It’s such a strange concept that it puts the normies off. It makes no sense to them, which is logical, as they’re dependent — by choice — on 3D mind.
No 3D mind can experience this emptiness, since it doesn’t originate there.
We just think it’s due to an empty mind, but for me, it’s more about Heart. Mind can be as active as it likes; we always retain the power of choice to ignore it, to look the other way, as it were. Free will is an underused muscle among the normies. A large part of waking up is learning to go proactive with the choices we make, rather than just flowing along with the sheeple.
THE KNOWLEDGE BLOCK
The next thing in the way is our supposed knowledge. One of the toughest things to which we awaken is that our knowledge isn’t really all that. Oh, it’s fine, it’s often useful, but it’s very much an external-world thing. Our choice to remain preoccupied with what what we’re learning & what we know keeps us down. It’s not the knowledge that’s at fault, but our choices around that — how we use our time, how we experience our Now.
Knowledge is a relative thing.
There’s Truth & then there’s relative truth which goes around in the garb of Truth until we wake-up to this. This journal — What is Truth? — goes into that, offering some their first encounter with this concept. If knowledge wasn’t relative, then it wouldn’t change over time, the earlier “truths” being transcended by ever new understandings.
There’s nothing wrong with knowledge, it just exists in a more limited sphere. What’s available via the transcendent “space” of Heart invites us into higher frequency territory. None of us were taught that we are this vast, that we have a magnificence accessible, here — so we don’t look for it, we don’t see it.
Just knowing the Heart portal exists is powerful stuff.
BEAUTY OF NOT KNOWING
So what is the virtue in not knowing? What does that even mean? The mind will always know things, so it’s not about emptying all of that out, forswearing thought. When we experience the silence of not knowing, the mind’s knowledge remains intact. We’ve just gone elsewhere, into an arena not accessible to thought.
It’s no more than a belief to think we know something, & that what we know is true. Our beliefs create a formidable barrier to this empty state. It’s funny that we’re aware that the only constant in life is change — that simply everything changes over time — yet, we want to believe that our knowledge isn’t subject to that, that it’s somehow going to stand the test of time. 😆
ALL KNOWLEDGE IS EQUAL
It’s not that some knowledge is better than other knowledge, either.
In this case, all knowledge is just the same, existing in the lower vibratory arena as juxtaposed to what’s available via Heart. It’s not that some are right & others are wrong. That’s to fall into the trap of duality.
There are other options.
We’re leaving a realm where either/or is the perpetual choice on display to enter one where both/and is the norm, where we can have our cake & eat it, too, in ways seen as strange & unexplainable to any mind. Duality becomes triality when Heart is added to the equation, quite transcending both mind’s abilities & its uses, enabling a far deeper flow.
TRANSCENDING KNOWLEDGE
This “not knowing” often spoken & written about is not a slam on what we know, it just occurs as we keep rising in frequency, entering higher consciousness, if you will. Thus, it doesn’t so much negate what we (think we) know, but rather transcends it, offering hugely different perspectives on everything.
There is more coming in this journal flow, but this is enough for now. It presents ideas worthy of pondering that will be followed-up in part 2.
Namaste
