Ignorance

What is ignorance?
Ignorance is when you recognize that something is right but you do not do it.
It is unknowing also.
It is because you do not know  and still do not have complete understanding of what is right
that there is the presence, in the mind, of the option not to do what is right.
(Supposing there must also be the ability to distinguish right from wrong first.)
When ignorance is completely dispelled we no longer experience an option.

  • For example, it is ignorant to say that one can rightly not stop at a red light at a traffic intersection; to feel the choice is to perceive an option. When you know  that it is right to stop then ignorance has been dispelled. (The perception of an option  having ceased also).
  • For example, it is ignorant to say that one can rightly not brush their teeth; to feel the choice is to perceive an option. When you know  that it is right to brush your teeth then ignorance has been dispelled. (The perception of an option  having ceased also).
  • For example, it is ignorant to say that one can rightly not use sunscreen before they go out into the sunshine; to feel the choice is to perceive an option. When you know  that it is right to use sunscreen then ignorance has been dispelled. (The perception of an option  having ceased also and of course using sunscreen that is free of oxybenzone is a part of the knowing  also).

What is it to know?
To know is to not be divided by even a shadow of duality.
Is this then the end of right and wrong?
The need to suggest that something is right or wrong is to say that there is an uncertainty,
because where the one exists there the other exists also.
