Eckhart Tolle:  “Become at ease with the state of ‘not knowing.’ This takes you beyond mind because the mind is always trying to conclude and interpret. It is afraid of not knowing.

“So, when you can be at ease with not knowing, you have already gone beyond the mind. A deeper knowing that is non-conceptual then arises out of that state.

“Artistic creation, sports, dance, teaching, counseling — mastery in any field of endeavor implies that the thinking mind is either no longer involved at all or at least is taking second place.”

The image is from The Matrix Revolutions (2003). This statement is from a site for the book Journey to the Source: Decoding Matrix Trilogy, by Pradheep Challiyil, PhD :

“Morpheus tells Neo that, like him everyone is a slave to the false world of The Matrix. When we are in the prison of the mind, we really believe whatever we want to believe, under its influence. Our wonderland, our life of misery and suffering, is the rabbit hole we dig with our narrow notions and relations of our mind.

“We make ourselves a slave to the mind and its limited potential with our own notions.”
