Seek not to know, unknowing is the path ... this may be the process of becoming unselfed...
Seeking not to know was a long-ago blinding flash of the obvious which I still wrestle with on occasion. The hard lesson learning is that the process of becoming unselfed is purely of God...trying to unknow is a self-determined objective and to wrestle with is the paradox.
It's the old try with a will or fall by the wayside vs. let go and let God. The secret: Only still more spiritual growth makes that an unanswerable gift.
Admittedly, the reasoning mind will often wrestle just because it chooses, and the spiritualized mind goes along just for giggles.
No doubt, I've learned more from going along for giggles than I have by self-determined seeking. Going along for the fun of it is a sign that I'm not taking myself too seriously...but self-seeking? That's an often-necessary side trip, but ego is invariably present albeit well-disguised. Beware.
Rule of thumb: The more spiritual it seems to the reasoning mind, the closer to an ego-trip we're walking.
Trust God, serve others, love and laugh...and don't take our self so seriously.
Thank you.
