Asking Questions

Calling forth answers

Where are the boundaries of our existence? Are they within the physical constructs of our so-called ‘real world?’ What about spirit? Where are the boundaries there? Are they limitless? Are there any boundaries? And are there really any boundaries in the physical? Are boundaries merely psychological constructs we have created?

If we are the only ones creating boundaries or barriers to un-limitedness then all the power lies in our hands to go beyond those boundaries.

If it is all up to us then how do we ask for help?

Usually when we think of asking for help we are thinking of asking for help from outside of ourselves. How often do we ask our selves for help? How many questions do we pose to our very own selves during the course of a day? How many questions do we ask of others? Who do we trust more to provide the answers?

Why, when we look at a flower, do we not see the answers to our questions? Is it because we did not ask any? A flower can answer many questions for us but if we don’t ask the flower it is merely beautiful.

There are many answers in beauty but the main reason we do not see the answers is because we do not ask the questions. But it is not necessary to ask the question of the flower. We merely need to ask ourselves. It is we who create the flower to answer our questions.

People bring us answers all the time. It is up to us to know the question. Of course, we must ask the question of ourselves and then allow others to bring answers to us. If we directly ask the question of them then we just get their interpretation of the answer. If we ask ourselves then they can only answer us directly, usually unknowingly. If you get their brain stories involved then you will only get brain stories. People tend to answer questions most honestly when they don’t have a chance to think about it or when they do not even realize they are answering a question.

Asking a question of ourselves, we are asking our ‘higher selves.’ When a person unknowingly answers our question it is often their ‘higher self’ answering our ‘higher self.’ When that happens we can bypass the rational brain. When we bypass the rational brain we get clearer answers, free of brain distortion.

So do you have a burning question? Do not ask someone else but rather ask yourself. But do not be surprised if someone else answers you. They may have no idea they are doing so but you will get a pure clear answer, free of distortions.

And just think; when you are talking to a friend — just talking — you might unknowingly answer a question of theirs! It is easier than them actually asking you the question than you trying to formulate the answer from all the brain stories on file in the old noggin. When you just talk to someone because you are compelled to do so it could very well be your ‘higher self’ answering a question asked by that friend’s ‘higher self.’ If you hold back, afraid to express, you could be blocking your ‘higher self’ from helping another ‘higher self.’ You could also keep from beginning a conversation where suddenly one of your questions could be answered!

See how important it is to express and communicate?

Ask questions of yourself. Then talk to everyone in your life and keep communication open. You might be surprised at all the wisdom going around.
