Like the gnostics, I have to let go of mental understanding. Cause and effect, the “why” of people’s behavior, mostly. The reasoning behind meditation, spirituality, gods and goddesses, Tao and dieties.
I don’t understand the green of the forest, or the brilliant color of flowers, or even electricity, but I certainly enjoy it, lean on it and depend on it.
The teaching then, is to just lean on my Angel, Goddess, Presence–without understanding. And to go with the Flow of the Way–no need to ask questions. I’m on a “need to know basis”. Clearly, if I don’t know, I don’t need to know.
Knowledge does nothing in most situations. Awareness of choices–now that’s another thing all together. “Know Thyself” says the Sphinx. Timeless guidance.
