You don't. So whatever you're talking about is your idea of not-knowing, not not-knowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2001 Report Share Posted February 7, 2001 If this seems confusing to anyone, my understanding is that is the idea: to confuse the ego with cyclic reasoning until it becomes so frustrated that it gives up and stops trying to be in control, thus allowing the Truth to the surface. It is also my understanding this is the purpose of a Koan. However, not being an expert on Koans, I am certainly open to being corrected on this point (-: or any other point I may ever try to make :-).
