Chapter 1: Knowing The Unknown

There is more than we know, can know, will ever know. It is a “moreness” that takes us by surprise when we are at the edge and end of our knowing. There is a comfort in that “moreness” that takes over in our weakness, our ignorance, at our limits or end.... One knows of that presence, that “moreness,”when known resources fail and somehow we go beyond what we were and are and become something different, somehow new. There is also judgment in that “moreness,” particularly when we smugly assume that we know what “it” is all about and end up in the dark or on our behinds. It is this very “moreness,” that can be identified with the “spirit” and the “spiritual.”
