Spiritual Inquiry
Above all and underneath all, there is the power of love — the awareness of relatedness and the impulse toward unity. – Leonard Laskow

As we evolve conscious choice assumes greater responsibility for creating our reality.

- How do we choose what to focus our awareness on?
- What do we choose to focus on?
- Who is choosing?
- Do we choose with the brain-mind using reason and abstract understanding?
- Do we choose with the body-mind using conditioned sensations and intuitive feelings?
- Do we choose from heart-soul which integrates body-mind, brain-mind and spirit?
- If we choose what we already “know” how can we grow and evolve beyond what we know?
- Can we choose to focus our awareness on what is beyond our understanding?
- How can we do that?
- Can we surrender our fixed concepts, beliefs and ideas about who we are and what is real?
- Can we accept that what is unknown and unknowable transcends what we now know and grasp with our minds?
The mind, with its need to know, attempts to know the unknowable by naming it and then characterizes the name with seemingly knowable qualities — God, Kether, Grace, Brahman, Absolute…
It is possible to transcend the intervention of the knowing mind and directly be, beyond knowing, loving and willing:
“If not you, then who?”
Only you can transform and transcend the structure of individual and consensual consciousness that holds the questions and answers fixed as ideas.
“If not now, then when?”
Let Presence unfold the “meaning” of knowing, loving, choosing and being.

It is possible to transcend the intervention of the knowing mind and directly be, beyond knowing, loving and willing:
- to be empty of a separate self.
- to experience directly beyond subject object duality.
- to choose to surrender choice? Initiate these questions now and allow Presence to unfold their meaning to you.
