You said "So, if you're looking inward, you're going to see the good and the evil both, and now you've got to decide what to do with that?"
This is a tao te ching verse addressing that. Basically we accept acknowledge both the good and the bad. Basically realizing we all have a little rascal. If we do not, self righteousness occurs and with it a lack of compassion.
My original statement is somewhat a generalization of buddhism using internal methods of exploring ones self and also the nature of experience. Meditations could tie into that as well as contemplations.
Why not?
They actually have methods to explore the "inner self".
"Why" may have sounded more contentious than I meant it.
Are you talking about meditation or something different?

Anything that asks, "whats your inner world look like?".
I think I see.
So, if you're looking inward, you're going to see the good and the evil both, and now you've got to decide what to do with that?

What does this mean to you?
I'm having a hard time finding continuity between your first statement and these.
I do appreciate the discussion. :-)
