The acknowledgement of not-knowing is a prerequisite for…
““The acknowledgement of not-knowing is a prerequisite for True Knowledge because 99.9% of the reality we have believed to be true is not true at all. The modern-day field of quantum physics seems to verify, support, and give credence to the idea of the illusory nature of the world. Quantum physicists have reported their findings that 99.9% of solid matter, e.g., our bodies, furniture, cars, and buildings, is empty space. It is actually oscillating energy and not solid at all! Yet we are conditioned to believe the opposite, that we and everything in this universe are rock-solid real. That just about sums up how much false information we need to unlearn, or dis-identify with, through the ego-release process. We don’t say this in order to alarm anyone or cause despondency. On the contrary, the path is made easier if we openly admit to not-knowing. It is a simple truth that we begin this Undoing journey as largely ignorant. This attitude will reduce much of our resistance, which in turn will diminish our fear and doubt.””
