What are your 10 important questions that one should ask?

11 posts in this topic

I know that there are many questions one is asking, I look for ones that resonate with you the most. 

My list (order is not important and they can be interrelated):

- What is?

- What is reality?

- Who am I?

- Why am I?

- Why do I behave like I behave?

- Is everything as it should be?

- What is suffering?

- Why is there suffering?

- What is death?

- How to live?

I just want to share the one in Mind. 

What would complete you?

I do this every few months. I reflect on the number 1 thing that would grow life into the direction I'd want it to go. Into the direction that will give me love and peace, satisfaction and stability. Just one thing, one objective, and I write myself a Quest. I write a quick summary, the path i should take, what i need to start doing, what some rewards would be, along with a due date which I then hang on the wall for all to see. This way I feel like I am on a good path, that there is reason to wake up and face the day. A Dream that is Manifesting.   


Is all that we see or seem

But a dream within a dream?

What is real?

What is being?


The game of survival cannot be won.

There are no questions to ask, and there is nobody to ask them.

What is being looked for is THIS, and its already the case.

The ego knows that if you recognize that THIS is what it's looking for, it will no longer be needed and will be rendered useless.

The ego doesn't want to be rendered useless or deflated so it keeps you running on the hamster wheel claiming THIS is not it for your whole life.

 There is no right or wrong you can choose to get off the hamster wheel or stay on and let the ego run you.

There is no purpose or meaning to anything that's just the egoic self agenda playing its tricks.

Nothing matters..❤

Enlightenment is recognizing the separate sense of self as an illusion..

It's recognizing the mechanism that creates separation, pain and suffering and seeing completely through that illusion.

There is nothing to do or seek you are already perfect exactly where you are... THIS is already Paradise the kingdom of heaven, what is ...

Perfection is right here waiting to be recognized...❤

That is a good question.

It is a good complement to: "How to live?"

Yes, I like them. Maybe,one can start packaging them into groups and one can end up having 10groups of questions.

Once you are born and you don't ask questions, you die. 

Only once you know the answers (go full circle) you can recognize that there is ultimately no need for questions ore better say further questions.

No need to elaborate this I believe :D.

Yes once the seeker stops seeking, the illusion of itself falls away. ❤

When it's recognized there is no meaning or purpose to anything, questions themselves dont hold as much weight anymore. ❤

Who reads this? 

Who listens to music? 

Where is this experiencer located in the body? 

Is he in your head? 

Is he always there or is he only there when you think about him? 

Will he ever be able to transcend himself? 

Would there be a desire to transcend yourself or attain enlightenment, If he wasn't there? 

What causes suffering? 

Does your body work without a driver?

Sorry—I don’t say other people should ask these questions, or that they are good, or even that they are ten.

I have so many questions:

 

How can I love forever and ever? 

How can I accept love, give love, and be love?

Will I accept being-love, even if I have to give up knowing, and I won’t understand things?

Do I have to give up knowledge for love?

How can I give up knowing in order to speak my truth of love?

Can I really stay in love forever?

What is the best and deepest idea to have, to stay in love forever? 


Is forever comfortable? Is it beautiful?

Is forever too scary and horrible?

Do I have the power to keep forever “okay?”

Can I love forever and ever? 

Can I be satisfied with the good things that I have?

Can I accept love and give love, and not be desperate?

Can someone else take desperation, fear, and suffering for me—or do I have to suffer for eternity?

Will I be able to be brave enough to show mercy?

Can I show mercy without suffering forever?


Am I destined to eternal damnation?

 Will I slip between the cracks of karma and lose my consciousness through my guilt?

 Will my worst fears come true?

Will I be okay at work, even though it is hard and I feel totally inadequate, and I have not paid my debts to society?


How can I move forward in my career, because I am getting so sick and unwell trying?

Does work ever get easier?

Will my experiences of work Finally kill My learning goal motivation and my curiosity to learn?

Will I add value to others?

What ethical system binds me? 

What is my wisdom?

Can I make life easier and less confusing for others—like providing shelter and good water to people, and teaching them?

Can I see the goodness in other people, and care about their struggles?

Can I help people resolve conflicts people are stuck with?

Will I do miracles? Will I heal people?

Is consciousness really forever?

Can other people save me and remember me?

 Did I have a higher being?

 Did I fall?

Can I be happy?

Will I be okay? Will everything be okay?

Is existence too scary for anyone or will they get relief from goodness?

 

If it’s really forever—am I in trouble? Surely they know my guilt, at a higher order of eternity?
