“To think you know the
story of a past. It’s insane.
Every time you think you
know something, it hurts,
because in reality there’s
nothing to know. You’re
trying to hold on to
something that doesn’t
exist. There is nothing to
know, and there is no one
who wants to know it. It’s
so much easier to know
that you don’t know. It’s
kinder, as well. I love the
don’t-know mind. When
you know that you don’t
know, you’re naturally
open to reality and can
let it take you wherever
it “To think you know
something is to believe
the your identity and be
who your really are, the
unlimited, the nameless.”
Byron Katie
