I love reading the Tao Te Ching. The wisdom is incredible. Yes, it is hard for the mind to break out. Best to just leave the mind to its dance. @Anmol Thanks. I love reading the Tao Te Ching.

I think the first sentence is just as important. It is wonderful. <em>I have become an expert on knowing as much as I thought I knew.</em> That is the perfect sentence. Forget about <b>not</b> knowing as much as you thought. This is a subject I like to explore on my own. There are many things to be found there. If you meditate on that sentence, wonderful things could happen. Or not. It will be just as wonderful either way.

I agree. You know, of all the things that we can say we know or not know, consciousness if one that, well, seems to fit in the notion of "mystery." How to know it? I mean, we ARE it, but how to know oneself? I can be it, but know it? Not so sure. @Mark It makes complete sense. What you are doing is being honest. You don't know. You don't know a fraction of what you thought you knew. What a relief! No need to pretend that you have all the answers. @Mr. Morrissey Hi Thomas. I agree.

I often find that I know I don't know. But, then I stumble, and think I know consciousness only to realize again that I don't know what I think I know. You know, I like this quote.
