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.
We prefer knowing to thinking, because knowing has more immediate value.

The Tao belongs neither to knowing nor not knowing. Knowing is false understanding; not knowing is blind ignorance. If you really understand the Tao beyond doubt, it's like the empty sky. Why drag in right and wrong?
Knowing how to swim doesn't come from someone else showing you or someone else telling you or watching movies of other people swimming.
