9 年Good stuff Marilee. And as I see it, these self-inquiries ties in with "The Work" of Byron Katie. Whereas the brilliant Katie maintains that "All suffering is caused by unexamined thoughts." And may I add...thoughts vs thinking is a crucial distinction. As David Bohm observes, "Most people believe they are thinking, when what they are actually doing is "thoughting."
