Beyond Assumptions

How do we even begin to realize what is real in the world when we do not even acknowledge what is going on within ourselves? It's far too easy and habitual to talk ourselves into thinking we know what's going on or that we are where we are not in terms of consciousness. It's not surprising then to see how easy it is to impose our false perceptions on what is going on in the world around us. This is where our assumptions come from.

The challenge in dealing with assumptions is that we are so accustom to presuming we know what we do not actually know that we do not even question them. One of the greatest gifts we can bring to any relationship is the willingness to question all of our assumptions and actually find out what is happening, and if that is not possible, then what if we could really be at peace with not knowing instead of imposing the past on the present and the future?  Hmm, I wonder what could possibly come of that?
