“There is nothing new under the sun,” it is said; thus, everything you think, believe, and know is not original to you but learned from others. In other words, what we all like to proclaim as “my life, my way” is copying someone else’s with the label of “me” or “mine” attached to it. The original “new” life is like a child seeing a flower for the first time and without the parental commentary of what kind of flower it is, or observing a starlit sky without knowing a thing about stars, just mesmerized that something so vast and beautiful shows up just for you every night. Do you see? What you think (believe, know) masks what is actually “new.”
It is what you don’t know and will never know that is new, and if you think about that, it too will fade into your reason and be lost forever to that which is “under the sun.” “New” yields to the light of mind but shines into the eternities where no thought exists. Your silence is the light.

No one can know what the universe won’t tell, and it doesn’t reveal much, leaving what we think we know as little more than a melding of theory, conjecture, and make-believe. All you can know is that “what YOU are” creates an exquisite, cosmic soup with no recipe but contains the most beautiful ingredients and delicious flavors. You’ll “get it” when “what you know” is no longer known. Do you see?
What you know is the chemical additives and artificial flavors mixed in with an already tasty and healthy entrée. You don’t need them to relish the meal. All you need do is to be present at the table, open to surprise and adventure. Bon appétit!

To the extent of what you know, you may be right, but can you ever be sure if you don’t know everything there is to know?
Question your “rightness” until you are sure that you know more; infinitely more, which, if you consider it, will never come about because infinity is unfathomable and unknowable. A good practice until you do “know everything” is to say nothing at all as a defense of what you “know.” It will make for more “peace” in your life, too.
