How many times have you caught yourself saying “why didn’t I know that?” or “Why did I think that way?” or “Why did that person do that to me?” Well if you are like most of us, it is all of the time. However, in reality, you just don’t know and you will never know.
Our belief systems are instilled and then to be followed at an early age. If you were raised in an household where someone told you “don’t put your hand in that fire!” or watch out that flame is hot and you did not know what any of those words meant, you would quickly learn what hot is or even possibly what a burn is based on another’s words, actions or beliefs.
However, if you were told that the same fire was cold and watch out you will freeze your hand if you put your hand into the fire or flame, your belief system would be just that- a fire or flame is equal to cold, and if you put your hand into the flame, your hand will be cold and possibly freeze.
Our society has been developed on other people’s experiences, beliefs, life trials, and tribulations. Cave men and women did not know hot from cold. Cave men and women only knew that somehow there was some type of comfort -another word that has an outside and misunderstood meaning given to it- as one person’s comfort is not the same as another’s.
One way to understand this concept of “don’t knowing”- what you don’t know- is to have the ability to do just that- you just don’t know. When you just don’t know, you will find that you can free yourself from others belief systems or meanings given to life experiences that you have adopted without experiencing the moment and putting others beliefs in our mind to be our own. By accepting others beliefs of situations or matters, you take away your ability to experience your life to the fullest. For example- why not adopt a “Don’t know” lifestyle? Or what you “don’t know’ belief system? Only then can you start to experience life to its fullest.
No Judgment, no preconceived thoughts or behaviors and freedom from others beliefs. It is not difficult to make changes in your life only you can do so. Then, after releasing yourself from others interpretations, influences, and beliefs- only then will you learn how to experience your life on your own to its fullest. YOU GOT THIS!!
