One fears unknown
Fear prevents one from achieving one’s goals
Else it simply feels bad
Or just plainly obstructs the vision
Thus one responds by either
Evading the unknown,
Or by making it known
But perhaps there’s a different approach entirely
One of accepting the unknown
And the fear that goes with it
And why do we fear the unknown ?
Only because we cling to the known
Only in renunciation of the known is there readiness for the full acceptance of the unknown
And how does one open himself for the unknown?
It takes emptying of the mind of all the informational residue, in the form of memory, and all the thoughts, which are only the consequence of the memory.
Out thoughts, our memories, are all the consequences of our conditioning, and whilst we find comfort in it, it prevents us from accessing the unknown
It is in emptiness, that there is complete contact with the unknown
