There’s one thing I know for sure–there’s a whole lot I don’t know. In order to be open to the experience of the miraculous we must be teachable. In order to be teachable we must recognize that we don’t already have the answers. If I was certain that 2+2=5 then I wouldn’t even ask for the correct answer and wouldn’t be able to hear another option. My mind is closed. I would then go along in life using this formula, thinking I knew the correct answer. All the while everything I applied this equation to would fail necessarily. But if I stayed open to the possibility that maybe I don’t know what the answer is, I would be open to hearing another possibility.
The same applies when listening within to the wisdom that lives in each of us. We have to constantly question what we think we know and stay open the possibility that there is another answer. Including when it comes to what we think we need, when we need it, and what we believe will benefit us and those we love.
I don’t often reference the Bible but it’s written that Jesus said we must become as a little child. A little child knows she doesn’t know and asks. She’s open. She defers to the wisdom and guidance of her parents and follows their lead. She doesn’t just forge ahead saying, “Oh, I already know everything. I can take care of myself. I know what I need and how to get it. I got this. I don’t need any help.”
In fact, if she said this, we would just chuckle knowing that she’s being silly. Furthermore, we wouldn’t look down on her for not knowing and wouldn’t expect that she SHOULD know. A little child is teachable. A little child knows she doesn’t know and so she is willing to ask for the answer and wait for the answer to be given her. Whether or not she’s aware of it, this is the best and safest place she can be. xo
