I never wanted answers to these questions in the first place, you wanted examples, so I gave them to you, I just wanted to illustrate the point of how questions are easy to generate, but hard to answer, as I was trying to convey a point in my first statement, of how I wanted answers not questions

I'm sorry if you misunderstood. I wanted an example of how just an answer without a preceding problem or question for it had any use.

Hairspray is the answer.

What good is that answer without knowing the problem and question?

I just didn't understand why you said that questions are useless.

Like you said, this discussion about why you said that is useless. I will sleep just fine weather I understand or not why you said that. Its not a problem. :sun: I was just curious what would make one say something like that. No biggy! :wink:

Why bother generating questions if I can ask though? Don't they just come up naturally for you through out the day? Sure it's hard to come up with them when it's forced and why do we ever need too?

Most answers come easy when you develop your intuition. The insight just pours in or the intuitive guide leads you to a source of information that has an answer. I think the questions have to pop up of natural course and be sincere, for that whole open process to take an easy route though. That's how it works for me anyway.:shrug:

:peace: :heart:

I'm just relating this to my life, to me I have alot of unanswered questions, maybe in yours you need alot of more brainstorming of ideas,

you may value ideas more the answers to these ideas and at mine I value more of a plausable course more than having a choice of what course to take.

BlueCoyote said:
We can only question something from a context we know of.
So, the real questions are still out there.


That's because context doesn't exist without consciousness. So, no, there are no "real" questions out there. Context and questioning are unique to life.

Everything is embedded in context and it doesn't interest, if there's consciousness or not. It matters if we get aware of the context.

The more we know, the better the questions become. So the best questions still are awaiting us.

What happens when you stop generating questions. Currently i'm at the point of observing, haven't found a good question in a long time. Feels very peacefull and calm, not dull in any way.
Waiting for questions to arise...

Objects are inanimate and lack this context you speak of. Also, questions are unique to consciousness and thus exist only among us. Which means, there are no questions outside what has already been questioned. New questions may arrive through intuitive or creative processes, but they are a result of man in conjunction with reality. They do not exist independently.

Objects must not be in a conscious context to exist. They exist in a physical, chemical and temporal context, for example.

No questions outside we have questioned ?
Still, the more we know, the more questions arise.

It's a previously unknown context we can get aware of, or parts of if, what will directly feed back the context for our next questions.

Well, haha! I never IMAGINED anyone would elaborate on this topic so much. Sweetness.

I just feel the infinte-ness of reality; in both directions large and small. There will always be questions, and always answers...there is never a final question/answer for it all.

I feel very "freed" by this line of thought. It says to me,

"stop trying to figure it ALL out right NOW...focus on more attainable objectives first as a foundation. The larger questions and answers will come...and never stop coming either...for eternity"

Put that way, I think we're both on the same page. Just using different wording in our premises.

So...questions are great because they insire us to seek answers (and have memorable experiences along the way!!). . . Just knowing that there will never be an end to a quest for knowledge, and that I won't ever attain a state of "finality", because if I did, reality would end. . .

Whoever set this game up somehow looped it up like a mobius wheel, so it'll never end...and the person that did that never was even created in the first place either!

AHh...such is the paradox...it just dosen't make sense to linnerally-based-time-oriented creatures (even me most times) . . .

I already used this before but;;;;

Couldn't put Humpty back together again.
