Double Ignorance, Single Ignorance, and Self-Knowledge

Double ignorance was described by the ancient philosophers as being the principle cause of all the world's problems. Plato describes it as being when "you don't know that you don't know something", and Socrates spent his life trying to help people out of double ignorance and into a pure simple ignorance of knowing that we don't know. This state of simple ignorance is the starting point of the spiritual path and self-discovery, and in this video we look at how we can reach this starting place by purifying ourselves of double ignorance.
