Knowledge is suffering

Posted on by philipdodson

There does not have to be an answer, there does not have to be a beginning, middle and end. The ego demands an answer so we know and can be superior over others who don’t know.

The mind always needs an answer and it feels out of control if there isn’t one, it feels threatened and it does not like it.

Knowledge isn’t power, it’s suffering. There will always be someone who knows more or something you don’t…it’s all about the mind and being superior. Wisdom comes from our soul and we have wisdom from the day we are born to the day we die. Knowledge is of the mind and is not relevant to anything other than the mind obsessed non-reality that we spend in our heads. Knowledge is always subjective and who really knows or cares what is right or wrong? It really does not matter but we are conditioned and controlled by it.

Ignorance is bliss, not knowing or caring. Letting go and just being is the route to inner peace, pure joy and consciousness.

A little step forward

As we all sit here on the 1st day of a new year pondering the tsunami of things we are going to change simply because the date has changed, just pause, then take the list of things to do and throw it away.

When we set ourselves these huge lists they are too much for the mind, they present too much change and therefore it’s risky, so the mind will sabotage. Also, willpower only lasts so long, so by the mid to end of January, most have given up.

Just pick something today that you can do, a small step towards changing one thing, and focus on that for a few weeks. Then pick another and so on.

Small, manageable and ‘easy’ daily steps take us forward and build like compound interest if we take the small step every day.

The tsunami of change always fails. Take a little step now.
