Liuren Magic Sanctuary
To know that you do not know is the highest attainment.
To not know, yet think you know, is a disease.
Only by recognizing this disease as a disease can one be free of it.
The Sage is free of the disease because he recognizes it as a disease.
Therefore, he is not sick.
In Liuren Fajiao, "Thinking you know" (不知知) is the most common cause of failed magic and spiritual stagnation. This "Disease" (病) manifests as the belief that one has "mastered" the spirits or the Dao. This arrogance creates a blockage between the practitioner and the Immortal Master.
A true master maintains the state of "Knowing that you do not know" (知不知). This is the state of the Uncarved Block—always empty and always ready to be taught by the Dao. By being "sick of the disease" (recognizing intellectual pride as a hindrance), the master stays spiritually healthy.
When we perform a ritual, we do not rely on our "knowledge," but on our "connection." By being humble about our own understanding, we allow the Absolute Knowing of the Dao to work through us. This is how we remain "not sick" in our cultivation.
