Thinking is not Knowing. Most people think they Know, but they don’t really “Know”.
Identification with Mind, Ideas and Thoughts create a ‘pseudo’ Knowing of people, places and things. This ‘surface’ Knowing never touches the basic Truth and Purity of Aware Knowing.
Essence is the ‘source’ of Reality and Truth. It is the Knowing ‘within us’, unlike the struggle of the Mind to understand and discover Reality and Truth.
Seldom do we touch Reality in ourselves, or another, and because of that, we Know nothing at all.
It is only when we ask the deep questions within ourselves in all sincerity that we receive the answers to them. This is where we realize that all outer questions are not as important as the inner ones. We cannot seek outside for answers that can only come from the Conscious Awareness within us.
The Mind seeks to Know, but what it seeks and Knows pertains to outer observations only. It does not actually Know what it observes, it only studies and tries to analyze it.
Knowing is a function of our Conscious Awareness and of our be-ing in wholeness within. It is becoming that which is observed within our Consciousness. It is realizing that no division exists, unless we only choose to observe through the Mind.
We hold the Truth in us and it is ready to be revealed, but we have to know where the True answers come from and where to ask them. Do not ask your Mind the deep questions of your life and your existence. Ask with your whole be-ing within your Awareness.
Knowing begets Knowing, because the confidence in Knowing opens the door to answers that are only within our Awareness.
It is through surrender within our feelings that we come to understand and realize our True Identity in Consciousness, our eternal Identity. The bridge of Awareness is what allows us to cross effortlessly from the uncertainty of the Mind to the certainty of our Knowing selves within.

Namaste. Thank you.
I fall foul of thinking my mind knows and forget to check my heart. Thank you for this reminder.💫
Most of us, me included for almost all my life except for the very early days and in the recent ones, now, think of knowing as having answers to questions.
I have come to realise that questions are the equivalent of opening up to noticing what is without seeking answers, which only serve to close it all down again.
