In this paper I propose that reaching the limits of our ordinary ways of knowing as psychoanalysts can offer thresholds into new and vast experiences of transformation. I explore how emotional experiences of not knowing have their own authority in creating intimacy in the analytic dyad and an experience of transcendence. I use three clinical examples including my own experience as a patient to illustrate this.
