aha, I know X for sure! maybe that is true maybe it isnt.

but wait I KNOW X to be true....maybe that is the case, maybe it is not the case.

I exist, that is true.... maybe that is true maybe it is not.

ALL certainty can melt like wax and then harden like wax and then melt again..... or maybe not...or maybe...or maybe not...

every single thought you can add "maybe, maybe not"

this exercise may or may not melt the ego like wax.

Nothing about knowledge is sure. Your mind is your enemy, trust it at your peril. Like a wild horse, it is beautiful, but only when tamed.


Just because God loves you doesn't mean it is going to shape the cosmos to suit you. God loves you so much that it will shape you to suit the cosmos.

This, just one this. But I don't know it, that would be two ;)


Relax, it's just my loosely held opinion.  :)
