All that you know does not light a candle to all that you do not know.

In one sense, all you have to know is that I AM.

All the evidence and proof you have to support what you already know is verbiage. It is the past. What matters now is what you would call the Unknown. What you already know with such confidence is world knowledge. World knowledge has its place, yet it can go only so far.

It is My understanding that you want to go deeper, closer. You want to go deeper and closer to what you may call the Unknown. To Me, it is the Known. For practical purposes, We will call it the Unknown.

Take everything you already know as you would stick a wad of chewed chewing gum in a gum wrapper and throw it away. Set it aside, and start listening to the Unknown. When you think you already know all you need to know, you have kidded yourself, and you have blocked revelation. Your existence is not about what you know. It is also about what there is for you to find out.

We are entering a new world. What do you want to hang on to old thinking for? Past knowledge doesn't belong to you anyway. You spotted it. You glommed on to it. Now you let it go. You free it to recede and let the new sunshine in. You do this, not only for yourself, but for the world. Letting go of the past is letting go of the past.

The past served you while it was the present. What are you learning now?

The relative world is all about change, and now it is for you to accept change. A synonym for change is the word new. Put some of the attention that goes into new household appliances, new cars, new technology, new design into new thinking altogether.

Your identity is not meant to be tied up in all that you know. The street cleaner is as much a master in life as the college professor. Accumulated knowledge and perceived expertise are not everything, beloveds. We are talking about love, and love for yourself. Know less, and love yourself more. Know nothing, and you will know how to love altogether. Consider the beloved dog at your feet, and you will know what I mean when I say innocence shines.

Changing your thinking means to change your ways of meeting the world. If the world is to grow, you have to grow. I am speaking of evolution, beloveds. If you want to evolve, make way for the new. I mean the new you. You don't want to resist your advancement. You want to welcome it. Let the light bulbs go on! May they go on all over the world and reach to Heaven.

Do not misunderstand Me. Ignorance is ignorance. Ignorance is not the same as innocence. There are those of My children who believe they cannot progress. They make conclusions such as the refrain: "This is how life is. It can't be otherwise. I can't be otherwise."

It is ignorance to accept yourself with such finality. That is being stuck, beloveds. Moses' brother stuttered and was called on to speak before crowds. He was called on to do it. He did it while he felt unready.

You can change your ways. If you have been sloppy, you can be neat. If you have been afraid of the dark, you can get over it. It seems to be endemic that My children long for more and yet want to stay the same.

I ask you once again: "What are you waiting for?"
