On Not Knowing as a Subversive Act

On Not Knowing as a Subversive Act July 7, 2016

Franz Fanon

I’m pretty sure most people think they’re the exception to Dr Fanon’s observation. I am not in the business of reading other people’s hearts. But, I fear I am not an exception.

And so with that the ever renewed vow to not turn away.

What I have found is how this vow and its observation creates something. It opens something. And I’ve found how it is at this fertile moment of letting go of my certainties, of not knowing, that I discover the spiritual path to which I’ve devoted my life and its manifestation in this world meet. It is here that I find how to act, and why…

Who would have thought?

It turns out the most subversive act of all is not knowing.
