This process of the Inquiries is a unified process; each Inquiry has a very important function in terms of the whole of the Inquiries. It supports us to really look closely and examine how all of our belief systems and assumptions have developed and how they limit our well-being and joy in life.

In this systematic and in-depth look into our belief systems we gain a greater understanding of their origin and pervasive nature. This understanding leads to a greater realization of how the belief that points of view have an independent power results in great personal suffering and a very limited way of being. Once we examine our own circumstantial points of view in this deep, thorough way we naturally shift the vantage from which we experience life. We recognize our vast expansive nature of awareness and are freed from the belief that points of view have a power over us.

Maturity in our recognition of awareness comes about by simply resting as this awareness for short moments repeated many times until it becomes automatic. By the power of awareness, our approach to life begins to alter immediately and we experience increasing mental stability, clarity, skillful activities, profound insight and benefit.
