“Do You Question Your Life?”

When you get by yourself, what questions do you ask of Life?

Most of us naturally find ourselves asking ongoing questions – Inquiring of life.

Sometimes the questions may sound spiritual or philosophical.  At other times they may be (very ordinary) quite nitty gritty or nuts and bolts.

Sometimes you might find the questions arising spontaneously – out of the blue.  At other times they may be more intentional.

Or, (perhaps) there may be questions that are percolating just below the surface, unconsciously – and you may not be quite clear exactly what they are. (OR they may not have become clear as yet.)

(EXAMPLES)

 

We’ll be taking a slightly different approach in this course.  Rather than setting out an overall topic for the eight weeks, we will be asking each participant to bring a question to each class.  A Question that lives within you. The question can be anything, but it should address an area which has personal meaning to you –

Each class will frame itself around these questions.

What is the value of asking a question, particularly without expecting a ready answer?

  • A question can be a doorway – a doorway to deeper realms within us –  to that which is most essential and freeing.
  • When we question – or inquire into – a stuck place or apparent obstacle, it can help us see that, underneath our initial question, there is actually a more fundamental question that we are asking at our core.
  • In this course, you will discover how uncovering these deeper, core questions opens up a new perspective and a sense of ease and freedom.
  • These deeper questions will reveal themselves naturally.  There is no way to do it wrong
  • Exploring in this manner, we become less afraid of life. Even though there may not be an answer you can put your finger on, there’s a (felt) sense of a answer. An underlying thread develops which reverberates and points to the essence of ‘What You Are’.

This all may sound rather serious, but it’s actually a lot of fun.  We’ll be asking our questions  in a friendly, spacious atmosphere – there’s a camaraderie.  We get a chance to be seen and heard, and to hear ourselves truthfully.  There’s no way to do it wrong.

 

(NOTE:  We need to say more about the felt sense of presence.  That is the atmosphere.  That is what is doing the work. And the effect and benefit of that – the take home value of that.)
