Do you know WHY you are doing what you are doing in any given moment?
When I am teaching and guiding people, they often want to know the how and that is understandable. Whether in spiritual seeking, healing or horsemanship.
But if you look a little deeper the ‘how’ question is usually, underneath its surface appearance, an effort to move away from something undesirable or towards something we view as desirable, joyful, fulfilling etc and many times both of those things.
I suggest a better question to ask is Why? If we ask why, not of the world we see “outside” but of our own internal conscious and unconscious motivations we will start to unwind our automatic conditioned way of living life.
If we are interested in the deepest, esoteric question of ‘why’ the answers won’t come from the limited perspective of our mind or emotions. We need a willingness to be open, humble and listen deeply for a dimension of our own divinity to become conscious within us. Then the how can follow because it is coming from the correct origin.
If the HOW is layered on top of the a WHY that is unconsciously coming from unease, emotional wounds, fear or steeped in unconscious hierarchy and separation, then the HOW is already broken, even if the how is ‘performed’ in a way that others give you recognition, applaud or praise for.
Next time you are with your horse, at work or in connection with friends and family and you start to ask how, stop for a second and consider the why first.
