Explore with questions

"The word ‘question’ is derived from the Latin ‘quarrier’ (to seek) which is also the root of ‘quest.’ A creative life is a continued quest, and good questions can be very useful guides. Most useful are open-ended questions; they allow for fresh unanticipated answers to reveal themselves."

Questions hold the power to draw out answers that surprise us. If we are on an inner journey to greater self-knowledge, we must seek to understand unfamiliar parts of ourselves. The most enlightening answers are released by our subconscious minds or by our intuition. Use questions frequently to go exploring.

It has been said that Leonardo da Vinci received much of his information by writing down a question.

Try these out:

- What qualities do you find most attractive in others?

- How do you exhibit those same qualities?

- What is your greatest fear? Why do you fear that?

- What message is your body trying to get through to you?

- What gifts or skills would you take with you into the next dimension?

- If you had a choice what people would you take with you into the next dimension?

- If you had to choose one other person to join with you as one body who would that be?



"If we would have new knowledge, we must get a whole world of new questions."-- Susanne K. Langer



"You don't want a million answers as much as you want a few forever questions." -- Richard Bach
