but i DO know...
How do you unknow something you think you know? I can say "I DON'T KNOW", but in my mind "I THINK" I know, so it would be a futile process for me to try to unknow something I think I know in my mind. Better yet; how do you not think, and just be!??!
to unknow something you know you have to know that the only thing you know is you don't know. because if you don't know, then you can't possibly know, so if you know you don't know, then you'll unknow what you know.
So all I must do is realize that I know NOTHING and this will enable me to unknow what I think I know?
I don't know man.. ..it sounds sketchy!
There are things I want to know that I don't want to unknow, so if I come to know that I DON'T know, will I unknow what I want to know, too?
:confused:
i'm not sure... ;) try it out and tell me how it works... i just know the basic concept of course.
Well, it couldn't hurt.. ..
We'll give it a go, and see I turn into a no mind...that would be a nice change, lol
I don't know how to bargain.
If one looks at every word and makes conscious effort to be honest. Then one can become aware of the unknown.
An example ...
I live in San Francisco. ---- this is not a true statement... I dwell in San Francisco... I LIVE whereever I AM..
"DO you believe in GOD" - the definition of belive.. what does believe MEAN? how is believing different than knowing...
Stopping to LOOK and disect and distill these everyday statements and questions will begin to AWAKEN ONE... JUST don't draw any conclusions... Consclusions are for those who wish to SLEEP...
This is just the begining to awakening... to be honest and break through concepts and false understandings..

Or you can JUST sit.. vipassana and DO NOT REACT to the MIND..
Then ONE will awaken.... then one can observe the MIND..
yummy- iloveyou
example 2
------I don't LIKE you----
many people think this staement means "I dislike you"...
BUt that is NOT true. "I don't like you" means, I don't like you... maybe "I love you... But the way THE unconcious mind works, IT jumps to conclusions... if somebody "does not like me" they must dislike me... and this conclusion is drawn so fast that 99.9% of the people can not see it happen.. THey are trapped in a sleepy world of duality....
But there is NO reason to draw a conclusion from "I dont like you"... it is what it is... maybe "Iloveyou" ???

Knowing the know-how is what it's all about. If you know not to pretend you know, thus those who don't know, know that you know, how will they ever attempt to know what they think you know, which they don't know if they know it.
I like that!!!!Quote:
