Hey,

It’s a good idea to try to understand the world

Believe it or not, some don’t (try to understand the world)

I advice you to get into habit of explaining everything, trying to explain everything

Once it’s a habit — it’s effortless

 

When you have a habit of explaining everything, trying to explain everything — you are ready to learn

Your enthusiastic attitude now must be refined

You ought to educate yourself how does one know anything, how does one acquire knowledge

Otherwise your habit of explaining will just be a habit of rationalising, habit of delusion

 

When you know how to observe and how to experiment and how to find the truth of the matter — you become knowledgeable

If your foundations are right (scientific attitude, freedom from self-delusion) — you become immensely powerful, in your knowledge

You reach the pinnacle of worldly understanding

Your results reflect your expertise — although you didn’t get there merely for the results; You got there because of your compulsive craving for understanding, your habit

 

And it is now that you can free yourself from this paradigm

It is now that the one last thing to learn is that there’s nothing more to learn; That where you’re truly going there is nothing more to gain by knowing more and explaining more

There’s nothing more to explain about the death

There’s nothing more to explain about the love

There’s nothing more to explain about the WHOLE

It just is,

 

You will eventually set about the problems of existence,

The problems of the ultimate truth

And those are not the kind of problems you can theorise and learn and solve your way through

Those are problems beyond the accumulative knowing

Those are problems of transcendence

Problems of freedom

Problems of freeing oneself from all the world-attachment: that includes “knowledge”

 

And thus you dispense with the habit of trying to explain everything

It’s about time you took interest in the unexplainable

You’ve learnt “everything”

You know “everything”

Now it’s time to know nothing

 

I believe this is the natural course

The death and the self and the existence problems — these are ever relevant

Notwithstanding the world happens to usually be the first problem you’ll deal with

Often the last, I’m afraid

And it’s largely not a choice whether you’ll deal with the world or not: it’s the only logical thing to do — to understand it

 

Please learn the world and learn everything you can

And then let go of all that knowing

And learn the ultimate truth
