Not knowing or not understanding creates a vacuum in consciousness. The make-belief sense of “I know” becomes broken and reality becomes, again, unknown, uncertain, and inaccessible.
Most humans cannot tolerate this state of uncertainty. They have the need to have the sense of knowing, the sense of having access to reality and to the world in which they perceive that they exist.
Instead of being in the state of vacuum, staying in the state of not knowing, and enduring a period of uncertainty, they rush to filling the vacuum with misinformation or misunderstanding, which confirms to and is consistent with their preconceptions.
The highest form of intelligence is the ability to endure—actually enjoy—uncertainty, and to stay in the evolving process of eternal quest. There is never the absolute certainty in the phenomenal world, and therefore the knowledge and the understanding also grow and evolve with the quest that is never ending.
You will change your mind and you know that the knowledge you have is always tentative—an experimental hypothesis.
Beyond this, there is a transcendental world of the Absolute and of the Absolute Certainty—the groundless ground of Being of the phenomenal world, about which only Silence can speak.
