What If You Don’t Have To Know?

What if everything you think you know is getting in the way of what’s actually here? Ryan explores a paradox at the heart of awakening: the deeper you go, the less certain you become. Drawing on teachings from Buddhism, Christianity, Socrates, and Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, he makes the case for a “beginner’s mind” — releasing our need to know, explain, predict, and control so there’s room to actually experience what’s in front of us. A guided practice follows with a mantra for meeting the day without all the answers: “I do not know, and I am open.”
