Being in the Not-Knowing

When you've heard something for the umpteenth time and yet the true meaning eludes you, it's tempting to check it off the list...

I already know that

I've heard it before

It must not be right because it's not working

...and move onto the next thing; The endless information safari.

Not getting something that's right in front of our faces can make us feel stupid, and no one wants to feel like the only one not getting it and being left behind. 

The greatest truths in life are not complex formulas to be painstakingly unraveled; They are more simple than our minds allow us to grasp. 

This requires the unique skill of being still in the not-knowing while continuing your search. 

This is the way of the Modern Mystic.
