We all need to inquire into our own hearts to see if there is a place in us that really loves to know the truth, where we love it enough to do whatever we can to inquire, to investigate.

We have, most of all, the capacity to learn.

It simply loves to behold what arises. It is very interested in recognizing and committed to experiencing intimately whatever arises in our consciousness, but is disinterested in the sense that it has no goal in being interested.

we want to establish all the support we can for the journey, without caring about how difficult it is or about what is going to happen.

However, this is not the focus of the Diamond Approach nor of the practice of inquiry. The deepest motivation in my own inquiry is a kind of love that is full of lightness and joy.

Sometimes you engage mindfulness as the main capacity used in inquiry, and sometimes concentration becomes dominant.

When I can just be, when I feel open and allowing, things come up and the unfolding simply happens without questions.

To put it succinctly, ordinary knowledge is carried by thoughts whereas basic knowledge is carried by perception.
