True knowledge develops with humility.
In the pursuit of knowledge, it is imperative to remain humble. Humility isnt something that is replaced by knowledge. Its something you keep coming back to so knowledge doesnt become distorted. Knowledge is great, but without humility, it can become another tool the ego uses to create illusion. On the quest for expansion, for growth, for personal development, it is easy to get consumed by the pursuit of knowledge. We start unveiling the mysteries of ourselves and we want more. Epiphanies hit and its an aha moment that releases a feeling of awe. Naturally, we will desire more of those moments. But it is essential to understand that when knowledge is attained, there must be time spent with that knowledge for it to evolve and become wisdom. A drop of knowledge comes and we are very quick to share it, to preach it, to fall into the idea that we "know." Positioning oursleves as someone who "knows," position the self as someone who can no longer learn. One who knows everything, can learn nothing. One who knows nothing, can learn anything. We can very easily become so sure of what we know, that we unknowingly stop allowing that knowledge to expand. We stop allowing knowledge to deepen in our understanding of it. This is when relationships struggle, business suffers, our health crashes, we start feeling stuck, we reach a ceiling limit and life starts happening to us instead of happening for us. Knowledge is truly a form of expansion. Evolution is the formation of knowledge into wisdom. Knowledge expands our mind to a new level of information, but the evolution of that knowledge is where it continues to develop greater meaning and allows us to see all sides without assuming we fully understand. A simple example: We all have had a moment(s) in our life when we were so sure of something we knew that we argued, fought, and defended this knowledge only to find out later on, we didnt know what the hell we were talking about. After making a fool of ourselves, we then had to face the truth with humility to accept that we actaully didn't know and refine our way of thinking, in hopes to avoid further embarrassment! 🤣 Many moments for myself.

We experience this throughout our lives regardless of our perception in the moment. Whether we see what is front of us and believe it to be true for what it is or not. Our every moment in the fabric of space and time is similar to an onion and its endless layers. Should there be a seasoned spot on one layer, you peel that layer away to find a brand new layer untouched, unblemished promising a new journey through which we get to experience a completely new flavor... or the same its up to the viewer to decide. This is why self reflection is so vital and strong. You have the ability to view yourself as you are and then make the decision to proceed with the same layer as you wish or strip yourself of it entirely and begin anew. No one is trapped in their current state so long as they remember that humility is power and capable of changing even the most stubborn of thoughts and behaviors we choose to develope in our lives. So remember when you feel stuck, idle and vulnerable you are you and you have the ability to change in which ever way you see fit. It simply takes an intention and a self awareness that we are all able to tap into.
