In this episode of _Creation's Paths_, Charlie and Brian explore the wisdom of the dark moon and the concept of **via negativa**—the mystic path of silence, subtraction, and simply "being." They discuss how true wisdom arises not through constant accumulation of knowledge but through engaging with things as they are, whether it’s sitting with a tree, understanding a household problem, or creating art. They contrast knowledge, understanding, and wisdom using relatable examples, emphasizing the importance of practice and mindfulness. The episode encourages listeners to slow down, embrace stillness, and appreciate the value of presence and acceptance.
