What is Ignorance?

[BarkingTurtle]

Dating back a month or two. I was contemplating on a question "What is ignorance?" And to be honest. It was intense. I never felt like this experience/contemplation would give me any benefit at all. Everything I contemplated on was a real strategy to distract myself from the real.

I embodied ignorance through my calves very deeply, it was a huge burst of energy that made me shake my legs tremendously and gave a huge awe after it. I was baffled. I never had a similar experience like that.

Because I got to contemplate on it and it was one of the first questions I have ever contemplated on. I believe it changed me in a bad way, I started to ignore the life around me. Other people.

How can I counter ignorance? How can I be more alert and stable with myself?

By becoming ignorant to fear. Ignorance is the other face of wisdom.
The path out of the mind is simple - just pick something and stick to it despite all the egoic emotions that arise.
"The fool that is consistent in his folly will have become wise"

You can find inspiration on this particular path from Lao Tzu's story.
