What is a qucstinn?
The easiesl and faslesl vay lo undersland vhal a queslion is, is
lo knov lhal lhe nalure of lhe mind is lhoughl. The nalure of
lhoughl is lo seek. The vord 'queslion' means 'quesl.' Il is lhrough
queslions lhal ve Iearn and evoIve. Whcn qucstinns rcmain
uncnnscinus and thcrcInrc unrcsn!vcd, cmntinna! prnb!cms rcsu!t.
In facl, aII emolionaI suffering is crealed from unresoIved queslions
such as.

And a lhousand olhers.

The human being is comrised of lhree IeveIs of funclioning.
There is lhe KNOWIR, SIIKIR and DOIR.

The KNOWIR is lhe suerconscious mind vhich is seIdom
used consciousIy. Il is lhe essence of our lrue nalure and yel moslIy

exerienced as a leenager and had differenl beIiefs. As an aduIl, you

This avareness refIecls your lhoughls Iike a mirror does.
Hovever, since you do NOT yel KNOW lhal you are refIecling

lhoughls vhich seem so reaI inslead of lhe avareness lhal lhey

Some examIes are -- seeking comanionshi vhen IoneIy,

seeking a sense of imorlance vhen nol arecialed, seeking over
vhen lhe drive for siriluaI fuIfiIImenl is lhvarled by lhe vorId or

romiscuily and crime are aII heavy seeking. The criminaI seeks gain
or over lhrough maleriaI gain. ReIaled lo heavy seeking is lhe uII
for Ieasure, sensalion and maleriaI allachmenl or lhe need lo have

The chiId seeks recognilion lhrough raise, an aduIl seeks il
lhrough over, money, sex, Ieasure, or sensalion, bul lhe seeking is

It is thc KNOWER that is whn!c, cnmp!ctc and Iu!Ii!!mcnt

each vave is lhe ocean ilseIf.

Since lhe daiIy condilioned mind is a seeker for fuIfiIImenl,
hainess, eace, Iove and meaning lhen il Iives from a Living
Queslion. A Living Queslion is a queslion or queslions lhal have
nol been exIored, asked or resoIved and so remain as unresl,

The Seeking-Queslions are sublIe and cannol be easiIy

Whal is lhe mosl reIevanl lrulh of lhe KNOWIR` This is lhe

of oneness. If I see you as myseIf lhen I can'l heI Ioving you. And,
lhe lrulh is lhal aIlhough you are a searale human yel your IING
is lhe same one lhal I AM.
The more you discover hov you are roeIIed lovards Iove,
lhe slronger, easier and quicker becomes your avakening of lhe
KNOWIR.
The vord 'Iove' slands for aII lhal is vhoIesome such as
vhoIeness, oneness, hainess, lrulh, |oy, eace, giving, sharing, and
so on. Our need for Iove, aIlhough molivaled by lhe KNOWIR, is

#$
ersonaI accelance, allenlion lo our ego and laking allilude. This
inlerrelalion is underslandabIe vhen ve see hov ve have forgollen
lhe KNOWIR and lhus exchanged oneness for ersonaI searalion.
The need for Iove, lherefore, creales lhe maIadies in our
reIalionshis, fear of re|eclion, fear of abandonmenl, fear of nol being
good enough, seIf-sabolage, seIf-unishmenl, guiIl, shame and
inadequacy, insecurily and guiIl. The reason for lhis is because of
one slrong LIVING-QUISTION lhal emerges from lhe need for Iove.
The Living-Queslion is I need you lo Iove me so I can feeI good

There is nolhing lo knov, so you cannol argue vilh il, you cannol

This KNOWIR is lhe nolhingness from vhich everylhing
