Do you 'Know' you're a Wanderer? Or your Soul name?

[Aion]

I think people are afraid of 'certainty' because it has been associated with zealotry and arrogance.

Certainty is like belief. It closes the door to new information. 

Perhaps. I see certainty as being more like making a decision. It is the agreement of acceptance of the moment. When you make a choice consciously it is an act of certainty. I believe this kind of 'certainty of intent' is that which is the crucial element of faith which allows one to perform 'magical' acts. There is an old idea in magic that for a magician's magic to work, he has to be 100% certain that it WILL (note the parallel between will as an idea of Co-Creator power and the juxtaposition beteen the base ideas of 'will' and 'will not') work, it will succeed. This in Kabbalic understanding is allowing the Sephiroth of Netzach, Victory, to be energized.

I think that certainty has been seen only in a passive way, as some trait that someone or an idea has. Instead I suggest perhaps more viewing it as a tool of consciousness. Just food for thought.
