Meet events as if for the first time

Real questioning has no methods, no  knowing – just wondering freely, vulnerably, what it is that is actually happening inside and out.  Not the word, not the idea of it, not the reaction to it, but the simple fact…  Anxiety arises… will one immediately act by “knowing” it from previous times and bracing against it? “Oh, not that again–I hate it–it’s going to get worse, how can I get rid of it.” and so forth.  [Or] simply meeting it as for the first time, attending quietly, feeling it, letting it move on its own, revealing itself for what it is without interference by the brain.
