the truth is, we don’t know. but we do know. but we don’t. ‘don’t know mind’ is the balance of between being grounded in not knowing, with knowing the entire singularity of the universe exists in the not knowing - that it is possible to know and not know at the same time.
our entire existence is simultaneously knowing and not knowing. so the essence of ‘don’t know mind’ isn’t the act of not knowing, it is the act of embracing both/and, the act of letting go and having the courage to sit with the confusion and clarity this brings.
to grasp one is to deny the other. to prioritize not knowing over knowing, or vice versa, is to cut ourselves off from an integral part of our existence.
