This Unknowing

The Skeptic

Knowing I don’t know

Unknowing all I know

Living the questions

Loving the mystery

Being Free

There is no authentic knowing outside of the context 

of direct experience and relationships.

We say we know… but we don’t. How can we?
We are nothing more or less than human.

Why so afraid of not knowing?

Why so afraid of mystery?

Why so afraid of reality?

Reality shows us

When we pay attention

That we are limited

That we cannot know

That nothing is for sure

That there is no certainty

The closest we can come 

to knowing anything and nothing

Is unknowing and unlearning the illusion, 

Unraveling it all and letting go.

Letting go of the stories in our heads, those voices
that give us comfort, security, and certainty.
Letting go of those dramas, myths, and beliefs.

Letting go of knowing

Letting go of rightness

Letting go of dogma

Letting go of certainty

The Inward Journey

Seeking is an expression of truth,
it is not a way.

Our spiritual journey does not bring us to truth,
truth expresses itself through our journey.

In a sense, there is no “journey.”
It is the discipline of inner work
through which truth is expressed.

“The real voyage of discovery consists
not in seeing new landscapes,
but in having new eyes.”

~ Marcel Proust


“We shall not cease from exploration,
and the end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started
and know the place for the first time.”
~ T. S. Eliot

For the 14 years that I have been writing / blogging, there has been a real evolution / revolution of understanding within. One of the most revolutionary shifts came when I realized that there really is no spiritual journey. What I have seen as a journey, if there is one, is like one inch long and 1000 miles deep. What does that mean? That is exactly what I wondered for quite a long time even though I knew there was truth in that statement.
