Problems are the leading edge or horizon of change in our lives. They have a role in our minds analogous to the role of pain in the body: they call our attention to what we most need to see. Like an extended conversation that takes place both within ourselves and in the external world simultaneously, inquiring deeply about problems shows us where we have shut down, where we need to wake up, and where we need to grow.
Weaving together the insights of psychoanalysis with the wisdom of Buddhist psychology, in this book of essays Marjorie Schuman illuminates some of our common human predicaments and articulates what can be learned when we use self-reflection and deep meditative inquiry to unpack psychological issues and problems.
Through the process of asking questions and listening deeply for answers, Inquiring Deeply consciously engages our experience of problems in an ongoing way which invites the wisdom within them to unfold.
