Inquiry 01
Body & subtle body
A subtle-body map may organize ritual, attention or a tradition’s account of transformation. Start by asking what its own text says the map is for.
Inquiry 02
Breath & energy
The English word “energy” gathers together words that do not have identical meanings. Keep each term attached to its text and tradition.
Inquiry 03
Mind & awareness
“Mind” and “consciousness” are useful starting words, but different traditions divide the field of experience in different ways.
Inquiry 04
Individual & universal
Is liberation described as identity, relationship, independence or return? These are different philosophical commitments.
Inquiry 05
Channels & centres
Learn to read channels and centres without constructing a single universal energetic anatomy.
Inquiry 06
Transformation & liberation
Read descriptions of freedom in their own vocabulary, distinguishing metaphysical claims from observable outcomes.
