I'm wondering who of you struggles to find a balance in your desire for knowledge. I mean, for example, I've been listening to more music lately and not keeping up as much with politics (that is only one example). I find that the number of happenings in the world I could fret over at any given time seems insurmountable and so I wonder if you(no-one-specific) ever take on the attitude that a certain level of ignorance is needed in order to experience bliss/peace? I find that peace for myself is entirely related to where my mind dwells and it is almost as if our mind can become a type of beast if we do not rule over it with our true self/Spirit. That's pretty much the main point of Ekharte Tolle's book 'The Power of Now' -- observing what a monster and invader the human mind can be to our true self, or our "I AM" as he puts it. I used to be afraid of terms such as the "I AM" , mainly because some Christian person told me I needed to be afraid of "New Age" thoughts and terms (be afraid, be very afraid!) -- but not any more - it makes a whole lot of sense to me that the greatest battle we have is in the mind - Jesus said as much.
