Unknowing cannot be reached by the material mind. I think of the ego-roughened road to Unknowing as God forgoing the ego by smoothing out the rough road...or going before us to make the crooked places straight.
Often Unknowing is going for less...accepting, not seeking, smaller...finding joy in the little, ever littler...neither getting nor giving to get. All of which we are incapable of without divine intervention.
After hours, days, weeks, years praying to understand Unknowing, we get a glimpse, then spend time praying for God to get it done already...using prettier words, of course.
Our realization of Unknowing begins when, unplanned, we openly share a vulnerability without pretense or pretext. Or we are lied to, insulted, cheated...and seek neither retribution nor offer faux forgiveness. Unknowing, we give over, give up, give in...and we know love.
We need to expect, not to regret, our ego nattering regretfully and repeatedly. Unknowing, we pray thank you, and we come to recognize that ego nattering turns us to God's open-door policy of Self-acceptance, i.e., love and laughter.
Unknowing...a one-word definition for resist not evil...neither makes sense to the reasoning mind, both being of God.
Thank you.
