Not knowing is knowing

How about a Zen koan to start your morning? 

(For anyone about to Google that, a Zen koan is a deliciously paradoxical statement, question, or story used to challenge conventional thinking. 😉)

Here’s the one I’m currently sitting with: 

“Not knowing is knowing.”

These days, it’s easy to feel like we know too much and too little at the same time.

Most of us are drowning in information and thirsty for wisdom. 

We burn through self-help books searching for answers. We hoard podcasts and online courses like they’re intellectual trail mix. We ask AI for … well, kind of everything now.

We know more than ever. And yet, it still feels like we’re missing something essential.

I, for one, am often overwhelmed by the amount of information coming at me, while simultaneously anxious about my lack of answers to some of the bigger questions.

So here’s the twist I offer myself that I’d like to offer you:

What if not knowing … that foggy, fidgety, something’s gotta give kind of not knowing, is the best signal you’ve got?

What if not knowing IS knowing? 

Knowing that you care … 

Knowing that you’re changing … 

Knowing that you’re looking for something different, something more. 

If you’re standing at the crossroads to The Conspiracy, you might be wondering if now’s the time to join or whether you should just put it off for a little longer …

You’re in good company. Because almost everyone who has joined started that way, too.

Watching the doors open and close until they finally took the leap, and wondered why they didn’t just go for it sooner. 

When people become a Conspirator, they don’t always know:

What’s my Worthy Goal? 

Is my Worthy Goal really good enough?

How will I get started?

Will I make time for this?

What happens when I stumble and it gets hard?

How does the story end?

But what they did know was this:

I feel stuck, restless, ennui-y. If “this is it,” then that’s disappointing.

I want to climb a “second mountain.”

I’m ready to change the rhythm of how my life is working.

I’m ready to try something hard to unlock more of my greatness.

I want encouragement and support to do this work; it’s too much to do it by myself.

I want a Worthy Goal, even if I don’t know what it is right now.

There’s a kind of magic in that moment.

When you’re ready to back yourself, even if you’re not entirely sure what that means yet. When you’re ready to move that meaningful thing from “sometime later” to “how about now.”

That’s what The Conspiracy is for.

It’s a community. A structure. A practice. A slightly rebellious act of saying: “I want to work on something that matters.”

If you’re intrigued, curious, or even just slightly nodding along, then you’re probably ready. 

You don’t have to know everything to begin. You just have to begin.

(Plus, you get instant access to my How to Begin course the moment you join The Conspiracy. If your direction is feeling fuzzy or unclear, it will help you find your focus before the community experience even begins!)
