True ignorance isn't carelessness but a conscious choice to live fully in the present, trusting that your needs will be met. The speaker frames it as intentional peace despite uncertainty about the future, a habit that grows over time and brings genuine happiness.
Good morning, everyone. Here's your moment of yes for today, back in familiar surroundings for the first time in 2 weeks. And your moment of yes for today is true ignorance is bliss. Now there's a difference. A lot of us have grown up hearing that ignorance is bliss. And when we believe that, I think sometimes that allows us to sort of make decisions or make choices that don't take maybe wisdom into account. Making unconscious decisions or consciously irresponsible decisions because we just believe that if I don't have to think about it, well, then that's bliss. And yet there is some truth into that, yet that can get us into problems when those consequences start to build up. Now, I've been trying to grow and learn from the practice of the idea of true ignorance being bliss. By true ignorance, I mean Being able to live and appreciate and be grateful and joyful in each moment, regardless of not knowing what's going to happen next. And I believe that true bliss of being able to just so love and appreciate what is happening right now is what true happiness is all about. And the reason I call it true ignorance is because the reliance is on On a power, on the universe, on spirit, on God, on love, and complete trust in whatever is happening right now must be perfect, and that my needs will be met however they need to be met right now, and tomorrow, and the next week. So, the true ignorance is a total reliance on a power of love bigger than myself, and knowing that every need will be met, which doesn't mean I'm just going to do whatever I want to do right now. I'm going to do what I feel led to do right now. And whatever is happening right now, I can choose to find peace and joy and stillness in it. Now, this isn't something that I'm able to do all the time, or maybe even most of the time, but it is the practice that I am trying to grow into. And I believe that is the true ignorance that brings bliss. That's your moment of yes for today, everyone. Have a wonderful day.
