Questioning creates an opening. When we question, we open ourselves to greater possibilities. We allow for more than we ever have before.
The spiritual path is all about allowing instead of restricting. It is about dissolving the limits that are keeping us from love. This is what healing and growing are, and questioning opens the way. It expands awareness and removes the illusion of separation It allows love in to heal ancient wounds.
If you haven’t already done so, amazing soul reading these words, let love in and question everything that is keeping you from it. Of course, I know this can be challenging, because we have been so trained to settle. We have been taught to believe what other people tell us and to never ask why. But I want you to throw out everything that you have ever been told and take a look deep inside. Determine what you truly believe without concern for how others might evaluate you – not society, nor your teachers, and especially not your peers. I want you to ignore the talking heads that tell you what you “should” think about something you’ve just seen with your own eyes.
Ignore the media and its fearful, manufactured stories. How is it acceptable that they are repeated on every channel? Question what doesn’t feel real to you, and decide what is really real for yourself.
When we question, we peel back the layers and allow the truth to be revealed. This truth is not evaluation or justification. It is not thinking, but rather consciousness. And ultimately, all consciousness is love. In fact, every question we ask can be answered with one word – love.
As I’ve questioned on my own journey, I have come to remember this love. I have come to re-discover just how infinitely blissful reality really is, and just how spectacular, powerful, and wise we each are. I feel so compelled to tell you this about yourself.
Right now, ask yourself the deepest questions. Empty your mind of thoughts and focus on your being instead. There is nothing that matters at this moment – no worries, no projects or judgments, just your beautiful soul experiencing this world. Release all doubts about the past and plans about the future, and just sense who you are within. Then, ask yourself the questions that come to you. Here are some personal favorites of mine:
- Who am I? If I take away what the world has told me and let go of all my needs and wants, who do I really know myself to be? What will it take for me to bring this authentic self into my every day life?
- What do I really, really want? What does my ego want? Which do I choose to fulfill?
- What am I afraid of? How might this fear be limiting me from all that I long for in life?
- Am I allowing myself to experience what I truly desire? Are any of my beliefs keeping me from what I really wish to experience?
- How do I want the world to change, and what does this look like? What can I do to help make this happen in my own unique way? What are my talents and passions that can help to create more harmony for humanity? How can I help us to remember one consciousness?
- What has my heart, my soul, and my inner compassionate voice been trying to tell me? If I pause amidst the insane pace of modern life, can I hear what I’ve been trying to tell myself? Can I remember to listen to my own voice every day? How can I honor my sacred self more?
Trust the loving answers that come to you. Allow them to show you what you truly wish to experience. Allow them to show you all of the courageous reasons you came here to grow and the unique ways you can help humanity at this momentous time. Anything is possible, and it begins when you question and allow.
You have a great talent for words. Thank you for saying in this beautiful way what I try to show each day that I am here on this earth. Thank you!!
Thank you dear friend, mentor, poet, and teacher of ALLOW. You show us what allow looks like – peace.
In my opinion doubt or question is the way towards truth or clarity. Well written post.
Thank you so much, and I love that you bring up doubt. For me, self-doubt is a sign post that reminds me to re-assert what I already know within. It is a wake up call that is allowing me to break through stagnant patterns and reach for more than I have before. As my fellow blogger The Hawk says, “May we all.” Thanks again ~Suzy
