I woke early this morning and laid in bed inquiring into truth, honesty, and facts (see yesterday’s blog). More came up to add to the list–belief, knowing, and perception. They’re all related and often confused.
I’m going to write this in multiple posts. I’ll add to each in the future since none of this is fixed.
Inquiry
I’ll begin with the inquiry process. Inquiry is an open-ended look into something. It flows. Often it has a strong current, so it may be a rough ride. At other times it is smooth sailing. There is a thread that goes from one thing to another, yet is connected like a spider web. When inquiring I often have what I call Aha moments or epiphanies when I reach the truth. There is a sense of knowing (in a deep, fundamental way) as well as openness and support or grounding. That means that the head (knowing), the heart (openness), and the belly (support) are all open.
Knowing, openness, and support are important since we often regard what’s familiar as being our truth. But what’s familiar is more often a distorted story–a story that misdirects and misguides us through life and has us reliving the same thing again and again as in the movie Groundhog Day. It can keep us stuck and prevents us from growth and fulfillment.
