You Dont Know S**t

Dear friends,

You don't know s**t.

How does that sentence make you feel?

When you are accused of not knowing, do you strike back?

In your body, does your anger or resistance arise to justify what you do know? Who do you strive to prove to that you are smart, wise, or knowledgeable?

Our desire to quantify or qualify everything so that we can know it, therefore possess it in some form or fashion is overwhelming. When we see something that we do not understand our brain will create an understanding based on our past experiences that we can relate to it.

Does knowing make us strong? Is it knowledge or leverage that makes us powerful? Is it action or wisdom that makes us amazing?

What about the letting go of knowing? Without your interpretation, what does the thing become except more of itself? Isn't that the ultimate granting of freedom? Is there a strength here?

Today, practice letting go of judgment of everything... ANYTHING. Everything you see, be conscious of how you interpret or define it...as an experience, an event, right or wrong, good or bad...don't try to make it anything. Let it just be without definition.

Let go of what you think you know. Let the emptiness of not knowing remain empty... if only for today, and watch/feel what begins to come through the empty space.

Dunce caps on warriors, let your true humility shine and walk without understanding and judgment.

There is an old samurai maxim that says, "Knowing and Acting are one in the same." When you truly understand something, you will express your understanding through action.

To your lack of knowing,
Aaron

Maybe if we could let go of what we think is true and right, we would let go of the need to make others false and wrong?
