The last time I was talking with The knight ? Last summer … Somewhere on north shores.
He wasn’t quite himself, but even in this state of limited consciousness and awareness, he could see and understand things that I couldn’t.
I remember I asked him if he’s going to teach me what is the biggest secret about people.
The Knight – I prefer to use the term humanity. I advise you to do the same.
The Blacksmith – When are we going to start ?
The Knight – It’s not as simple as that. You must be ready first.
The Blacksmith – I think I am ready.
The Knight – To think is not enough. This is not a joke. You must wait until there is no doubt, and then you will be ready.
The Blacksmith – Do I have to prepare myself ?
The Knight – Yes. No. Maybe. But you will definitely have to wait. You may very well give up the whole idea after only a while. You get tired easy. Last night, when we were talking about will and free will, you showed me your limits.
…
”The immutable laws of the universe have yet to resolve the hard problem of consciousness.”
I knew exactly what he was talking about.
He was right. I wasn’t ready … But I will be.
