Unknown better than the known

Ignorance is the lack of self awareness. understanding of the self is freedom from knowledge.

But it is not easy to put aside knowledge

Addiction to knowledge is like any other addiction ; it offers an escape from the fear of emptiness, of lonliness, the fear of being nothing.

Knowledge cannot reach out to the unknown. Because the unkown cannot be caught by the known. We have our being in the past, our thought is founded upon the past. The past is known, and the response of the past is always overshadowing the present, the uknown.

The unknown is not the future, it is the present
