Zen says that if you drop knowledge -
and within knowledge everything is included;
your name, your identity, everything,
because this has been given to you by others -
if you drop all that has been given by others,
you will have a totally different quality to your being: innocence.

and there will be a resurrection of your innocence.
You will become a child again, reborn.

the real way to know, the real way to be.
