You're a scientist.
The next thing you have to admit is,
You don't know the answer.
And that's not much different, semantically speaking, than approaching the problem on your knees.
It's like you have a problem.
It's a real problem.
It's an insufficiency.
You have an insufficiency.
You have to admit to the insufficiency.
Deeply, you have to understand that it's an insufficiency that you would like to have rectified.
You have to ask, you have to knock, you have to seek.
And the consequence of that intensely pursued will be something like a revelation.
You know, we say, us moderns, that we say things like, I thought this up.
And I would say that's not really very accurate psychologically or spiritually.
If it was you that thought it up, why didn't you know it to begin with?
Well, that's a good question, right?
Where did that come from?
How did you call it forth?
Or under what conditions did it make itself manifest to you?
Those are the same questions.
