Innocence, ignorance, knowledge and Emptiness?

Question

As a small child, you knew nothing and were everything. This is innocence. As you grew, you learned about boundaries; what you are and what you are not; what is possible and what is not. You learned to live within those boundaries. This is ignorance. As you matured, you began to challenge those boundaries, to live in the wisdom of your own secret knowing, to follow the wind instead of your own stifled breath, to follow your heart that would to set you free, rather than your mind which would have you safely imprisoned. This is knowledge.
But what are the boundaries of this infinity which teases you? Where could the boundaries be but within your own treasured knowledge which has thus far led you to freedom but now shows you it's own boundaries; the boundary of mind itself?
Do you know that you are all things manifest and unmanifest? How can mind know this? Mind is one of those things. What you think you know has imprisoned you. You seek a clean slate. Tabula Rasa!

Answer 1

In the ageless wisdom writings this is referred to as the ring-pass-not. It's that self-imposed boundary or prison created by us and our beliefs and thoughts. The lower mind acts like a funnel allowing intuition and wisdom to trickle into the brain but only if our beliefs will accept the new info. The concept of being 'all things manifest and unmanifest' is one that many are opening their minds to and beginning to accept.

"The Ring-pass-not is that confining barrier which acts as a separator or a division between a system and that which is external to the system . . . The ring-pass-not acts only as a hindrance to that which is of small attainment in evolution, but forms no barrier to the more progressed." ~~AAB

After typing that out I read your question to my daughter. Her response:

"Listen to the word boundary. I think of it as bound-airy. Being immersed in matter, we're bound in a structural environment. We should acknowledge the bound-airies but see them as permeable membranes allowing passage. Air represents the mental plane thus most or all of our bound-airies are produced by our thinking. Visualize a wooden, open fence instead of the cement wall and let the air flow through as the soft breeze of spirit speaks to us."

Answer 2

We are a prisoner of evolution, our minds come with a lot of preprogrammed sotware.
