The Tao of Dark Sages

Where is this ‘land of nowhere’ and how do we find it?
Nowhere is everywhere. You find it through not-knowing. Through the elimination within your consciousness of every morsel of false-knowing. Through the burning away of every belief to which you cling. Only when you stand empty before the Unknown will you be able to know the fullness of abiding peace in affirmation.
I imagine that you have all sat before other so-called teachers either in person or through their books. You are further from that which you seek than were you a grasshopper newly hatched. You are full. You have filled yourselves with fluff and nonsense. And not only has this failed to fill the void within you, it has made it impossible for you to discover that which truly can. Only the empty cup can be filled.
How do you discover the realm of emptiness? Through wielding the sword of not-knowing and cutting away every trace of all this nonsense. But don’t stop there. You have only just begun. Cut away, too, those beliefs most fundamental to your existence. When you stand naked before the Unknown, when you know nothing at all, only then do you stand at the portal of peace.
