Of course the inner is explored. Have you never looked inside yourself and tried to get to the bottom of who or what you are. Yes much of what we learn is due to external influence, but you still have a choice on whether to accept it or not.

I must make myself more clear i think.
By exploring the inner i don't mean myself or you explore your inner self.
One can only learn by interacting with others.
What is it you will find in yourself that is different from others? we all have fears needs and longings.
Me and you or others are not really different in that, but our knowledge is.. because it derives from our perception and the interpretation of it.
With exploring the inner i mean 'the mind' not your mind or my mind but 'the mind' which is destroying the world because that is what we are doing.
Not only the world but also our self because of some ideology or idea, a system like the economy or fighting over some god's or political Issue.
Everything is created and is being sustained by thought.
And thoughts means the outside, an observer who thinks he must do something about the problems that he sees in the world.
One does not see himself as the observed and that is the real problem
One can try to control his thoughts, but who is the controler of thoughts? another fragment of thoughts.
Let it flow and look, look at the mind.. the mind of humankind.
Only then you will see and learn.

I would like to ask a question, do you think we are our thoughts?
Is it our thought that define who we are many times more than our names, occupation...?

Thoughts are the tool they can only use to control you. Where do you think the thoughts come from in the first place? Words, ideas and concepts are not yours, they have been programmed into your system, by the system.
Even time is a concept programmed into the system to make the system. How would the system of work/slavery be possible if the concept of time wasn`t in place?
Thoughts are not yours, or you. Thoughts are only echos, arising presently. Just clouds passing on the clear blue sky, let them pass.
