Enlightenment

It is hard - as a human being - to actually ever really KNOW anything.

We think we know this and we think we know that, but what we really know is what our life has trained our minds to know. The experiences, the upbringing, the twisted synapses firing unpredictably in our brains - this is not knowing, it is interpreting.

We imagine that we stumble forward in our knowing, but what we are really doing is staggering to the left, staggering to the right, taking three steps backward for every one step forward.

Enlightenment. The drug. That's what we crave.

Enlightenment does not come from a brain that "knows."

Enlightenment comes from a brain that does not know, accepts that it does not know, and is open to discovering an honest path towards knowing.
