Start With Uncertainty

My mind is so certain.

Each thought that goes through my head is so certain about what it is saying. 

My mind says, "It must be this way." and it suffers.

My mind says, "I don't like this." and it suffers.

My mind says, "I must have that." and it suffers.

My mind has already concluded so many things about myself, my life and others without my even having a say, without me even taking a conscious look.

To surrender is to let go of certainty. To accept is to let go of certainty. To let go of my own authority and that of another is to let go of certainty.

Start with being uncertain - without prejudice or authority - and see what actually is.

Then act from there.
