What pops for me today is that my level of comfort around not knowing depends on the situation and my level of awareness regarding any hidden thoughts, feelings, and/or internal dialog about the circumstance. If I can reach the point of awareness where I cognitively recognize the dissonance created by “I want (or expect) to know” and “I don’t (or can’t) know,” then adjusting to not knowing gets easier for me.
Recognizing the dissonance sheds light on the hidden belief and that I should (or need) to know something. Recognizing this intersection usually helps resolve the discord that not recognizing it created, AND, it usually causes me to remember that I get to choose my attitude (about how I want to be or behave in the circumstance) and what to do next – if anything.
Thank you, Judy, for your continued commitment to writing Bliss. I look forward to reading it each day.
Thank you for asking this important question and inviting out replies.
