The Most Important Question
What’s the most important question that you’ve ever been asked?
For years my wife asked me the same type of question – variations upon, “Did you have a good day?” or “How are you doing?”. Eventually, I explained to her that it wasn’t important to me to think about my day or about my health – what really engaged me was to get an insight into the work that I might be unconsciously doing.
I believe that we create our consciousness, and that every question, every enquiry about our energetic beingness, can help us to hone our collective consciousness.
I remember a decision I made early in my life when I knew I had to develop my own insights and be self-reliant. At that point I lost interest in acquiring information for its own sake but I learned how to ask questions of myself that were both insightful and leaderful.
Now the important questions that I ask people are geared to them getting their own information, and for them to understand the process involved, so that they can be brilliant at doing that.
I know that the right piece of information, presented timely, is invaluable to people’s growth. But there is a greater gift, and that is to have people realise that their consciousness is an ever-expanding interactive conversation, of question and answer, of contemplation and consideration, in which there are no fixed ideas or truths to hold onto.
So instead, we can exchange information that expands, evolves and energises us.
Who are we, I ask?
We are the greatest of possibilities; we are an endless stream of understanding – I reply.
And how do I know that, I further ask?
Because we would have it no other way.
So what’s your next question?
