INSIGHT

Begin From Thoughtless Awareness

  • Starting from 'not knowing' opens creative, original thinking rather than recycling stored knowledge.
  • Eckhart Tolle says Socrates' wisdom meant beginning talks in thoughtless awareness to access creativity.
ADVICE

Practice Aware Stillness Regularly

  • Become familiar and comfortable with the state of not knowing by stepping out of the thinking mind into aware stillness.
  • Practice sensing perception without labeling or judgment to access creative knowing and deeper intelligence.
INSIGHT

Wisdom Trumps Raw Intelligence

  • Intelligence alone can be destructive without the deeper dimension of awareness.
  • Tolle warns the world needs wisdom rooted in presence, not more raw intellect.
