Inquiry Method

At the top level, Inquiry Method is a life perspective.  The basic tenants are:

  1.  True happiness comes from the inside.
  2.  Every experience that causes a negative feeling is an entry point for removing an obstacle to that happiness.
  3.  We all have the power to remove the obstacles within us.
  4.  As we remove these obstacles we not only connect with deeper happiness but also with Inner-Knowing.
  5.  Inner-Knowing is a capacity we all have that when used creates more harmony and potency within and without.
  6.  Inquiry is a process of curiosity practiced internally and externally resulting in a sense of wonder and clarity of insight in a ever deepening capacity.

The process for removing obstacles is:

  1. Pre-Recognition, at this stage we are in denial and we have not acknowledged that there is an issue.  We all have issues.
  2. Recognition, we acknowledge that something is not working or could be working better.
  3. Safety, we become safe for ourselves and others, we remove judgment and criticism, we become objective caring observers of the facts, truth.
  4. Awareness, we practice becoming aware of the factors within ourselves that create our objection to the truth.  Does the struggle come from the mind (ego or beliefs), the emotional body (emotions), or from our source (Inner-Knowing).
  5. Letting Go, having identified the blockage we drop into our capacity to let go and use this tool to resolve the inner conflict with what is true.  This innate capacity must be relearned; it is an innate human capacity.
  6. Inner-Knowing, is the result of our process of removing obstacles; from Inner-Knowing all becomes clear, resolution of conflict seems obvious.  Actions that result are potent, natural and create the best results.

Inquiry Method™ is a life perspective and also a tool for interacting with others.  Interactions with others from a perspective of inquiry create great relationships.
