Self inquiry journal

lately inquiry has taken on a bunch of different forms. watching Byron Katie, it's made sense in light of all the other ways the teachings are expressed. When thoughts arise, any thoughts, but particularly negative thoughts, fearful, sad, longing, etc., "Is this true?" No, it's a thought. disbelieving thoughts seems to go along way. As long as thoughts are believed they can't really be repressed. also disbelieving thoughts includes evidently, disbelieving the person having the thought, because the thought is a thinker about something. Who am I? Is this true? deep questions like that, that dissolve imagination, really are it seems inquiry. there have been temporary states of immense egoic quietude. when I get really deep, there is an intense sense of bliss, and for me, waves sweeping over me, peaceful waves. thoughts about the world, and other people, it's pretty clear that the mind doesn't really know anything about the world. When the mind stops believing in it's beliefs about the world, other people is there a world apart from those beliefs, are there other people apart from thoughts about them, that is where all the verses of 40 verses start to make a whole lot of sense. So far, there is for me still an appearance of the world, and I couldn't tell you if I've experienced the Self in all it's glory, or if I could classify a certain state as samadhi. Except there is more and more an awareness, that in that state, no harm can come and that all harm, sorrow, is the mind, period. when I really lose sight of inquiry and am back on the attachment level, Lakshmana swami might call it the "sticky mind". I immediately set about getting off the attachment level, to get off of suffering. There is a strong feeling, that inquiry rather then external action is the solution to the problems, that Grace cures all, solves all.
