 Not knowing is in itself a great wisdom as there is nothing that can really be known. As Adi Da used to say, we can know all kinds of things about things, but we can never know what anyhthing IS. So not knowing is a primary wisdom. There are no answers, there is nothing to wait for as nothing will show up accept what is showing up now. This is IT. Right now. Your reality in this moment is all there is. There is nothing else to find out. There is only this recognigtion and resting in not knowing. This has to be OK or we torture our poor selves with all kinds of what ifs and could this be. Everything is just what it is. There is no escape from anything, no golden palace to live in, there is only NOW, just as it is for you. This is all that I can find. It changes moment to moment. It is terrible and wonderful and it is all ME. We are all of this whole scene, like it or not. It seems to me that true peace comes to us when we can accept what is in the moment. It can be tearing our guts out but we can know that it is all there is in this moment. I wish I was wrong, but so far my experience has shown me this, and as far as I can tell, others share my experience. Love you, Ben
