Stepping into unknowing and unlearning

  
Socrates approach to powerfully question is to instill depth into the subject of the matter instead of just have students follow as told. Education is to know what you can and to know what you not know.
 (Burgess 2018)
I see learning and knowing as a continuous journey of learning and unlearning deconstructing and reconstructing as life experiences mature. The fixed ideas and limited learning do not fit any more...

What i know ! Who am i !    a famous Sufi saint Baba Bhulle Shah on his spiritual path says knowledge is unlimited  as knowledge of the unknown is revealed to him. He states  the knowledge of the mind is limited and the mind is just a records and playback  machine, its information is conditioned and influenced by others and what use of this if you get stuck with it for the rest of your life. Stepping into the unknown requires a total deconstructing of what you  know only then the true you comes forth daring, new, pure, and unique. I am inspired by this concept as i apply it to the dancers and dancing in unrevealed space, its exciting as a blank undiscovered canvas of space lies everywhere where do i dare to tread and challenge the given vocabulary I learnt as a student.

The movements change as i get to know my body more a new way of learning comes out and pushes me more to another level, i deconstruct only to reconstruct to a newness of my body yearning to be discovered even more. This journey is never ending as i choose to embrace the undiscovered realms of all possibilities.
