Uncertainty is the most honest way in which you can experience this moment. It is the sobering reality that robs you of each and every way in which you cling to control. It is the great equalizer. It reduces all beings young or old, rich or poor, healthy or sick, powerful or weak to the same one common denominator.
To truly see this is to face your own mortality. It is to see that all forms of Life are equally frail, equally fleeting. It is to see that no matter how you have lived your life, we all die the same.
Uncertainty is the only reality there is. And since reality is uncertain, there is no way in which to "know" this reality. There is no way to be "certain" about anything.
Becoming aware of this is a great tool for self reflection and self discovery. When you reflect on all the things you are certain about what you really see are all the ways in which you are holding on to delusion, all the ways in which you are denying the reality of what actually is.
Much of what you believe about yourself or about the world is no more than conjecture. It is one potential possibility in a universe of infinite possibilities. Certainty presupposes a reality which is static. Yet the true nature of reality is one of constant flux, in which every moment is but a drop in an endless ocean of potential moments.
To really see this is to glimpse into the magnitude of the mystery that is Life. There is no history of a past behind you, there is no image of a future in front of you. There never has been. There is only a vast abyss of potentiality surrounding you in every direction - and there is you, right here, right now.
Let go.
