I Don't Know

From the Spacious Tarot, the Ten of Swords; from the Phenomena Oracle, Drought:

The Spacious Tarot guidebook suggests the Ten of Swords is what happens when the mind is left to run unchecked. We don't stop to consider that it is the instigator of our actions and often motivated by ideas that are wrong. I am reminded of how easy it can be to slide into the role of advisor and problem solver. It is an addictive position, giving us a feeling of being needed and wanted. But it can also be a snare that that traps and drains us; any honor we feel doesn't energize us for long. Resentment and blame are the red flags to look for, the hint that we should at times rely on the phrase "I don't know" instead of attempting to be the Oracle of Delphi. As Joko Beck urged, "Be willing not to be an expert." Drought shows what happens to the mind when we are busy telling rather than listening. A satisfied mind does not open to new knowledge and refuses information that conflicts with its current ideas. A dried-up mind can neither produce nor sustain any growth.
