In a world and times where so much knowledge is at our fingertips, the human conditions remains. We want to know – but we have conditions about what we want to know. We want to know things that might affect us but isn’t our fault. We want to know the right way, so we can guarantee our outcome, but we don’t want to know if that means self-responsibility. We want to know and to feel good about our own intellect – to feel smart, but we don’t want knowledge that might bring us pain and difficulties.
There’s the old idiom – the truth hurts. And yes, sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn’t. But the real truth is liberating. Truly liberating.
Yet we deny that liberation.
There is so much we could know, but would prefer not to... Because it means facing the tension that arises within. Limiting beliefs and stories that oppose that liberation of knowing. While I say this, there is no need to be hypervigilant about knowing everything. But in being honest with yourself, are there things that you are avoiding to know, which would greatly empower you?
