I Don’t Know is all about this simple Truth.
Most of the time, on most topics, I don’t know.
Instead, I only “know” what someone else has said.
I don’t know, if they really know. Often they too, only “know” what they’ve heard or read from someone else.
Most of the time, on most topics, we merely parrot what others have said. And imagine, that we really Know.
I have learned, that this a very important thing to Know.
Recognising what I don’t know, makes me feel humble.
Accepting that I don’t know, makes me feel free.
Observing when others really don’t know either, makes me feel equal… and forewarned.
Intuiting when no one really knows, makes me feel unity, understanding, and empathy.
We’re all in this world of lies, half-truths (now called ‘spin’)… together. And what a sad and sorry flock of unthinking parrots we all are! In truth, none of us really Knows much about anything.
Welcome to my blog… an ongoing collection of observations and reflections on what I Don’t Know.
This is fabulous and you are dead right, I have often wondered why people don’t just admit the obvious. Human beings are a clueless lot. However I believe that it is as we share what we think that we gain further insight. We need to connect to spirit to tune into the truth and I think we have been going about that all wrong. or somewhat wrong…. I also think that as we have now reached the age of evolution I like to call “the clueless age”. Where we have much accumulated knowledge and prejudices and beliefs and religions etc etc but still remain blind to the simplicity of the truth.The age in history where we now have enough knowledge to put the story together, but are we too blinded to see it?
This is in part what my novel is about, how little I know and how that actually adds up to a whole lot. Enough to satisfy my seeking soul for now anyway and that is a whole lot more than I had before.
Would love to chat with u about how little we know .Good to catch up with u again …..

I do not know either… just can say that, when trying to figure out about what I really care for, the answers that silence brings, often feel so right to me.
Are you sure you know that you don’t know?
In the moment when you Know that you don’t Know, or that you do Know, it is very easy to Know. But it is never so easy to know that you don’t know, or indeed to know that you do know.
