Steve Keener, Sunday's speaker, was inpsired to do some research on Pilate's wife. He found a book called ‘Women in the Bible’ that said there are 38 words referring to her in the Bible; yet there are volumes of information about her on the internet.
In trying to make sense of it all, he took a break to listen to a tape his wife, Jackie, wanted him to hear. The tape was by Unity minister, Rev. Richard Rogers, on a series about the movie, “What the Bleep Do We Know”, (which addresses how we live with Science and Spirituality in our lives). He was reminded about the need to stretch our minds beyond what we have ever believed before. He then realized that it was OK not to know everything about Pilate’s Wife and why she was so important.
We are engaged in a constant process of letting go of old beliefs and entertaining new ones. We are never finished.
The first step in any intuitive process is for the student is to be willing to admit ‘they don’t know’ and become willing to unlearn everything they had been told is true. The point is not to be afraid of the unknown (it is safe not to know), but be in a state of awe.
If you are finding it hard to accept that most of what we have been told and have believed our whole life isn’t true, just think about what people have believed in past centuries, like the world is flat. It’s OK not to know, and if we can’t say it out loud, we can at least admit it to ourselves and feel safe in the not knowing, and instead be open to infinite possibilities.
