I know that I know nothing

Maybe you know the famous saying: "I know that i know nothing".

It is a human force to try to understand the mysterious but if you sit down and try to stay in silence,

close your eyes and ask yourself - what is knowledge? Watch your thoughts but just accept them and let them go.

I talk about two ways of looking at knowledge. One way is to study things reading books or gather other information. Then there is the inner knowledge. The mind is not involved. It is a so called "inner voice" and inner knowing.

The mind is a brilliant tool like your body but there is a thrive to know the mystery (the unknown). That can really cause a lot of cunfusion. Especially in the Country I live in (Germany, the land of poets and thinkers).

It takes a lot of courage to admit not to know and therefore allows us to experience new ways or find solutions.

One of my teachers once said: "Who knows what a tree or bird really is? Look at it with openness and just see.

What do you see when you are present in the moment? By telling each other that only our truth is the right truth we are lowering each other and our imagination. Not giving us the space of discovery which is the natural state of our being. If you listen to a young child talking and experiencing the world with an open mind you realize how much we've lost of our imagination.

I asked my daughter once how she would describe her hair color when she was six years old. Her answer was gold. She knew the word blond but she was free enough to just describe what she saw not what she was told.

My point is give yourself some space to search for your own answers. Experience your own individual path.

Trust yourself and the state of not knowing because that is were your answers are arising.
