Be Bold; Daring Even .. But Remember – You Don’t Know Jack

It’s curious how difficult it is to admit that I don’t know jack. Especially when I know I don’t know jack!

I got “IT” when I went to The Forum, that “large group awareness training program” – (gentler version of EST). They worked hard to make sure I got it. The experience was designed for transformation; personal responsibility and accountability the objective. Open the door to possibility.

About Knowledge: there’s stuff I know and stuff I know I don’t know. Then there’s stuff that I don’t know that I don’t know; the melting pot of probability.

Being open to possibility – potential beyond today’s understanding drives many of my life choices. It fosters a desire for knowledge, to discover more; despite the likelihood I’ll reach any guarantees.

Exploring, learning and speculating is fun. Feeling passionate about what I know guides my voice. Applying “The Emerson Rule” invites my imagination to run riot.

“Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

New revelations occur when I’m still and hear my higher self. When I’m willing to be teachable and welcome an evolution of my beliefs I am more resilient. Not having all the answers is liberating.


“I think it’s much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don’t know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we’re here. I don’t have to know an answer. I don’t feel frightened not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell.”

― Richard P. Feynman
