“Not knowing” can be an open, inquisitive, and humble state of mind, full of possibilities — there’s a lot to explore. With inquisitiveness, we engage our intelligence, educate ourselves, and move forward in our lives in a way that satisfies our deeper needs. This is the knowledge that comes through hearing the truth. To do this, we first have to feel the pain of our situation — the antidote is right there, just beneath the surface.
