The unknowing mind

[Moonglow]

Hello,

Some thoughts have risen so present them here.

The unknowing mind.

What does this bring to you all?

For there has been a lot of going back and forth on Presence. Been given various names, God, Creater, source, Universe, ect.

Yet, it comes to me and I can feel a Presence with in being alive and the life around me. For conversation sake may interchange names for it, but being honest I don't know what exactly it is.

Now this is quite humbly for me to admit, but there you have it.

It is like words at times only scratch the surface. Words are how my mind can interpret what is felt. Yet, it is not all of it. Bits and pieces that can help bring clarity to mind, yet also at times feel a bit awkward. Like, it simply has to be experienced, yet how to have it understood if so desired.

So, thought I would share thoughts on this

For at present, well for quite awhile actually, been just going with it. Allowing myself to simply not know. Doesn't mean it is not felt, just not fully revealed as to what it is.

Perhaps that is the point to feel it and let go the need to know what it is.

What do you all think about this?

I think that that's wonderful.

As the Zen saying goes, not knowing is most intimate.

***

Presence being us as formless awareness
energising in-form consciousness
The need of knowing no longer existing
when consciousness & awareness merge by connecting
Or we may say, consciousness dissolving
and so no aspect of identity remaining which is seeking

Just being

Perhaps you're on the verge of becoming gnostic.

What does God not know of itself?

What is unknown is not remembered .

Hi janielee,

It is most intimate because when I am not trying to conform it, this opens me up to expand myself to be with it even more. How I can word it right now.

Thank you

Hi Unseeking Seeker,

For me it is not so much consciousness dissolves as it is an acceptance that I don't know. That this is alright.

I feel it is in a way letting go of having to have to control it. Letting what may come to come and go on from there.

As you present just being.

Thank you

Hi Lorelyen,

I believe this has been mentioned to me by others as well, elsewhere.
If gnostic is knowing without knowing how I know, yeah seems to fit.

It is also, just being alright with it.

Thank you

Hi God-Like,

For me, feel God/nature knows very well itself.

It seems more myself knowing myself. To be open to explore, but it is also alright to not know. Not know in the sense of having to have reason it all out.

But of course once it is placed in words, then it is up for interpretation.

Thank you

Hello,

At times it helps me to just talk about it.

Get other insights, perspectives, and thoughts.

Not in the manner of one upping the other, but to simply exchange with one another feelings and thoughts.

Has me remember I am not alone and it is not always about having to know as it is about what it may bring into life.
