man can be certain only of the present moment. But is it true? Can really know? Of course not. And how could we make sense of this who does not know the future? If we do not know what future is leading us to the present, how can we tell if this is good or bad, if worthy of our membership, our distrust or our hatred?
Milan Kundera
"Nothing is more terrible than active ignorance"
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
According to the teachings of the Kabbalah there are four different forms of ignorance
passive ignorance, active ignorance, ignorance essential ignorance enlightened. passive Ignorance is the most obvious, is that the individual who spends much of his time in front of a television and lets flood the head passively without triggering any form of personal development. The ignorant person is essentially an indolent character that basically does not care about anything except his inexhaustible need to be entertained and filled.
E ' eager to adopt the most common stereotypes, blindly following authority without ever questioning his words, avoid searching for information of cheap, choose to get an idea foreigners and their culture, using the clichés of their own countrymen rather than get involved in a confrontation with active cultures unknown to him.
Ignorance active hand, is easily confused with knowledge. Belongs to one who goes to school for stuff notions believing that he had undertaken the path of knowledge. In reality he does not realize, to replace one with another ignorance. Ignorance is pernicious because active and passive, and despite all efforts to learn, proves disappointing. The student at the end, though peppered with learned knowledge, it is equally devoid of the capacity for development and creativity and his knowledge false suffers from a lack of unity and integrazione.L 'ignorant substance is safe to understand, but in fact, is not aware of be transformed into an abstract instrument of propaganda in the service a system would religious or political, whose ultimate aim is the spread of ignorance active.
According to this type of ignorance, consciousness is only one electrical activity, life is a chemical reaction, our ancestors of monkeys, the myth of a fairy tale for children. However, in the name of scientific truth or indisputable dogmas man isolates himself from the ability to draw on himself, his head is separated from his spirit and the mystery dimension of life.
deludes us into this way of control of fears and uncertainties, but pharmaceutical companies producing anxiolytics and anti-depressants are the most prosperous in the world along with the trade in alcohol and drug trafficking.
essential ignorance, is the state that is reached when a person sincerely acknowledges their ignorance, "I do not know " said Socrates.
Unlike passive ignorance, is a step forward along the scale of self-understanding. Ignorance is not an essential lack of conscience, but rather is the consciousness of lack. The ignorant, the essential search for truth, which brings into question the dogmas and puts its finger on any form of discrepancy and inconsistency, he shakes the commonplaces of knowledge and deep understanding towards the aims of himself and his surroundings . Paradoxically, his goal is not reached knowledge, but from time to time ambition to open new doors, to raise further doubts on the way the search for truth.
Ignorance enlightened than the knowledge and wisdom, is the deep awareness of the limits of intellect when it is endowed with qualities out of the ordinary to embrace " the Absolute or if we are the "divinity ", both on the basis of existence, but at the same time, beyond any form of class, restriction edefinizione.
Ignorance enlightened understand that both monotheism as paganism, have the opportunity to be part of that "All " representing the "Divinity " , that both have only partial knowledge and that no "ism " can make use of absolute quality.
When we convince ourselves that our behaviors are a direct consequence of our knowledge, the vision of ourselves and life in general is the result of years of evolution of our intellectual capabilities; forget that our concept of existence, is primarily shaped by irrational fears, emotional and dependencies by primitive appetites and often we use our minds, not in order to seek the truth, but to create comforting truth that alleviate our fears and meet our needs.
