I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.

I might think about it a little bit, and if I can't figure it out then I go on to something else. But I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose - which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell.

Right now you can allow yourself to experience a very simple sense of not knowing - not knowing what or who you are, not knowing what this moment is, not knowing anything.

Relaxing into not knowing is almost like surrendering into a big, comfortable chair; you just fall into a field of possibility.
