Ignorant


The word "ignorant" means "to be unaware." To become aware is to slowly awaken to the reality of who you actually are.

It does not mean to increase your awareness by gaining knowledge. Knowledge is information. Your true being cannot be comprehended in conceptual terms.

So be aware.

Beware! Danger is all around you. It is easy to lose your way on your voyage of discovery. As Thoreau writes in Walden, a man has to live by dead reckoning "if he would not founder and go to the bottom and not make his port at all."

Dwell.
You are the Light.
Rely on yourself.
Do not depend on others.
