The Power of Not Knowing: Awakening Beyond Certainty


Listen Later

“If we want to live our lives immersed in the mystery of awakened consciousness, we need to give up the idea that we could ever know this mystery with our mind. This means we have to give up trying to know it with the mind, trying to get a handle on it in any way. If we want that extraordinary dimension to become the source of our life, we must learn to live in the innocence of a beginner’s mind.”
—Craig Hamilton


We’ve all heard it said that spiritual awakening requires us to leap into the unknown—to go beyond the mind and discover who we are beyond our familiar reference points. But what does this really mean?

In “The Power of Not Knowing” Craig explores one of the most subtle but persistent traps we face on the spiritual path: our deep need for certainty.

We often experience life as insecure and unpredictable, and the need to "figure things out" becomes a way of navigating an uncertain world. However, on the spiritual path, this compulsive drive for certainty leads us in the opposite direction of where we’re trying to go. 

Craig unpacks this paradox, illuminating what it means to embrace the unknown in your meditation practice and the transformative freedom that comes with the courage to step into it.

This episode includes a 12-minute guided meditation, so we encourage you to listen when you can avoid distractions and give yourself the space to be fully present.

If you’re interested in exploring more of Craig’s approach to meditation, you’re invited to tune in to a 90-minute online workshop Craig will be hosting called Meditation 2.0 – The Miracle of Direct Awakening. Register for free at: FreeMeditationWorkshop.com
