Recognizing that one does not know something is a powerful state that initiates genuine exploration and learning.

“I do not know is a tremendous possibility. tremendous possibility. The moment you destroy I do not know your entire learning and expansion process has come to a cease”

The practice of inquiry works best when questions are asked as genuine, sincere requests for clarity rather than rhetorical demands.

“I'm hearing so wonderfully is when these questions, and you use the word inquiry, it's like when these questions are these genuine, sincere requests and questions as opposed to these demands.”

Self-inquiry is essential for solving internal problems, and one should approach it with compassionate curiosity rather than fear.

“We're not going to figure out the problem if we're looking away from it. And so many people if we start talking about mental health either we'll we'll physically respond. We'll put up a hand like no or they'll they'll turn away and and we are afraid to look at what's going on inside of us and how do”

The path to solving personal problems lies in the willingness to confront the uncomfortable feelings that people naturally tend to avoid.

“It occurs to me that so much of the solution is on the other side of whatever it is that we're avoiding. Like the feeling that we wish to inhabit uh requires us to confront the the feeling that we don't want to feel.”
