Live in a state of curiosity and courageousness, be open to inquiring.
These are inspirations from one of our favorite books, The Way of Liberation by Adyashanti.
If we open our awareness to what IS, instead of what we wish it was or what we want to make it, we live in a state of completeness. There is no need, no longing for something different. A sense of fullness satisfies our hunger in each moment.
Through opening to inquiry, we expand our sensory input and allow the richness of life to flow in.
Recall the innocence and curiosity of childhood. You may have been mesmerized by a bug or playing in a mud puddle. The rest of the world disappears. Nothing else matters. There is no right and wrong, no success or failure.
Free yourself to find comfort in not knowing. “I don’t know.”
Our expectations confine us on a path of fulfillment or disappointment. And do we ever reach complete satisfaction?
Live in a state of curiosity without judgment, without qualifying bad or good.
If your mind hijacks your experiences, invite inquiry within oneself. Come back to listening through expansiveness instead of hyper-focusing on details.
Expand your field of awareness as if you are listening for the origin of the most precious sounds. But beyond hearing, include all of your senses – and being. Here you will find openness. And fullness in your expansiveness.
Take in awe of the whole night sky.
To be happy is to live as the unknown. Adyashanti
