Instead of approaching the practice of inquiry as if it is something foreign and difficult, we can understand it as something totally natural, which every child knows how to do, until she/he is taught to stop wondering, to forsake the body and look for wisdom in the mind.
This is an email from a participant in a recent workshop, engaging in the kind of inquiry we’ll be doing in “The Integrity of the Heart.”
“Re the inquiry…
Wow. Yeah, it was profound. Standing on top of the parking garage to get a better view of the town and truly feeling (in my body) how love radiates, and feeling how as we collectively learn to receive and share love - it will continue to grow and expand. “Love is infinite”. I realized that even though I had spoken those words before - my understanding of love was quite finite.
My understanding of love grew on Sunday, as I stood on the roof of the parking garage. Thank you for the simple instruction - to go for a walk and ask “what is love?”. This is my new hobby.”
