Listen "How “Not Knowing” Dissolves Suffering"
Episode Synopsis
When we cling to what we “know,” we often suffer — because we narrow our perspective and can get trapped in a cycle of expectations and disappointments. This prevents us from seeing the true nature of our ever-changing reality, as well as the many opportunities around us.In this talk, I discussed how embracing “not knowing” can help dissolve suffering, releasing us from the shackles of our mind.You’re welcome to join me live each week for these talks—for free—by signing up here.
