i got a great question today.
someone noticed that i’m always talking about wanting someone who asks “the right questions.” and he asked a great question…what constitutes “a right question?”
any question a person asks that actually represents the question inside them, in a way that openly seeks a truthful answer. i like being truthful. i like when people don’t set me up so that being truthful is actually a trap.
basically, a question formed by a desire for open truth, with the purpose of seeking truth.
i need this because i struggle in conversations that aren’t immersive and direct. my perception of the world shows all the parts simultaneously with the sum of the whole. so my view of truth can be very multi-dimensional or very straightforward. in immersive and direct conversation, the more i understand specifically what a person is seeking, the better i can give direct answers.
some people don’t ask questions.
some people don’t ask the questions that answer the questions they really have.
if you ask the right questions, people will give you the right answers. it’s kind of that simple. it comes first with willingness, then with consciousness, then with practice.
