On Knowing

 There is nothing special about the wise ones. 

They have only stopped believing their minds.

Wu Hsin

 

I have a powerful mind, and spent a lifetime developing it, first in my economic studies and later in my profession in the financial industry. Then one day something inside revolted and some new inner force came to the surface. Needless to say, I no longer trust everything that my mind comes up with and I listen more carefully to my feelings, and the messages of my body. It’s a kind of knowing now, the knowledge to grasp what’s going on, just as much as the understanding when I don’t. 

 

A big part of my old job was psychology, turning positive when others became depressed and becoming cautious when others were exuberant. Needless to say, I was always skeptical when someone said, ‘I have a feeling,’ whereas today I know that I have to shut up when a spiritual person says to me, ‘I feel’—that’s where the knowledge comes from. I find it impossible to describe knowledge other than it feels downloaded from a higher dimension. Someone once said she feels a tingling in her Crown Chakra when it happens.

 

We know when we know, and know when we don’t know, if you know what I mean.
