Know Nothing

“I am totally conscious of my unconsciousness.”
Enlightenment is about being totally conscious of one’s actions. To know why one does (or does not) do something. To not be driven by emotional energy, but to do the next right thing. And right isn’t a right or wrong thing. Rather, it’s the things that feels right for you. It’s important to choose the moment, rather then letting the moment choose you. All of that said, The Chemical Buddha believed he was conscious of his action. Including those times he was unconscious. He knew that there were blocks of time he couldn’t recall. He knew that he didn’t know what he did during those unconscious times. So within his twisted gray matter, he was totally conscious of things he didn’t know anything about. We’re not sure how exactly, but that’s what made him The Chemical Buddha.
What do you think you’re aware of? And do you really think you know what’s going on?
When faced with the choice of doing what you think is right and what feels right, which one do you choose?
