The 2 Essential Skills

The first step is the inquiry into the relationship with self, this inquiry is an inward journey that has vast depth and potential for contentment, creativity, and healing.The second step, that can happen in parallel but not in isolation from the inner inquiry is into relationships, the inquiry into others. This is the outside journey, the art and science of human interactions. The more work you do on the inside prepares you to learn the external interaction.There is satisfaction, accomplishment and joy in both inquiries, inner and outer. In my estimation there is no more fundamental expression of being human that the mastery of inner and outer inquiry, the comfort and mastery of the self-interaction, and the expression and creativity of the interaction with others.Like any other skill in life you, all of you, can explore and develop these fundamental human capacities.
