I need a shift.
(When I do inquiry.)
– 0 –
True?
No.
What happens, how do you react, when you have that belief?
I look for a shift as I do inquiry.
I look for questions or insights that may give such a shift.
I get distracted from the more honest, real and sincere answers.
If I don’t notice a shift during or following inquiry, I think it didn’t work.
I am at war with inquiry and myself as I do inquiry.
Who would you be without it?
Free to inquire with sincerity.
Interested in what’s there, what’s real for me.
Sense of trust, curiosity.
Turnarounds
I don’t need a shift.
It’s not my business if there is a shift or not.
If there isn’t a shift, in my mind, it’s just my story about it. Reality may be quite different.
If I think I need a shift, that too is my story about it. Reality may be very different.
I need it to be unchanging.
If I tell myself it’s unchanging, it helps me to identify this belief, and it’s an invitation for finding clarity around it.
If it’s unchanging – for instance if I still feel unease or lack of clarity – it may lead me to something outside of my familiar frame of mind. I may ask for help. I may do inquiry on underlying assumptions. I may surprise myself.
If it’s unchanging, it’s an invitation for me to see if it’s OK as it is. Can I find where it’s OK as is?

Note
When I have motives for inquiry – other than just seeing what’s there – these motives may color the inquiry.
I may look for and find answers I think will get me what I look for.
The most obvious motive may be to feel better.
And another I notice for myself is a desire for a shift.
So I can identify these motives, take them to inquiry, and see what I find.
