the power of questions

the power of questions


Questions constrain observation and thought.


The question is constrained. To limit means to set limits. Questions limit your thinking and your answers.


A question becomes a frame. It works to filter what information is allowed into the frame. In other words, questions constrain thinking.


The question itself constrains the answer, and the thought process itself. The question is: "What questions are we obsessed with?"


​


​


Questions reinforce assumptions and assumptions.


​


Certain questions reinforce our experiences in certain ways.


What are the premises and assumptions hidden in the question?


​


​


Questions promote inquiry.


​


The question becomes a frame and creates a space that must be filled with answers. Questions are a sign that there is empty space. It is painful to remain empty, to be aware of ignorance. It makes you want to get out of that state quickly.


​


What is the question that made me who I am today?


And what else to ask?


​


​


The question calls for a meeting.


​


Nothing would be so trivial and monotonous as it would be if you did something by yourself, without being stimulated by the thoughts or experiences of others. (Albert Einstein)


​


Who gets me out of my accident zone?


Questions vary depending on the person you meet. The questions I ask myself are different because each person has lived with a different position and worldview. And because of that meeting, the questions I have may change, or I may get completely different answers to the same question.

Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom.

 Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom. ​ Get your hands off the hanging cliff. Enlightened people say I had to get my hands off the hanging cliff. I can't believe it's a story from Buddhism, which emphasizes mercy and love. Doubts can be easily dispelled. A 'hanging cliff' is actually just an object of obsession, believing that it will die if it is released even though there is no problem. The 'hanging cliff' is different for each person. It could be youth, health, family, money, home, or children. Or it could be love, it could be friendship, it could be the approval of others.   It is clear that the person who cannot lift his hand from the cliff is not free, he is not the master of his own life. Whatever it is, if it is impossible to live without it, and if it is likely that he will die, he is already a slave to the cliff on which he hangs. If you let go, you will die, but why should you let go? For the freedom to pursue new possibilities in life....

alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self.

 alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self. There are three classes of alchemists. A person who only imitates the language of alchemy without understanding it, Someone who understands but is finally frustrated to know that the language of alchemy is to be followed with the heart and not the head, A person who has never heard of alchemy, but has already become an alchemist by living the life of obtaining the secret of alchemy and discovering the 'philosopher's stone' in his life... ​ Failed alchemists just want to turn lead into gold. He was obsessed with the myth of the self and its treasure, but did not try to live the myth himself. ​ There is only one way to learn, to learn through action. God created this world so that the teachings and wonderful wisdom of the soul can be realized through the visible, and he calls it 'action'. Everything behind the earth gives enlightenment. If you look into even a single grain of sand with love, you can dis...

君子上達 小人下達

Learning flows from the bottom up to the high. ​ A gentleman faces upwards and a small man faces downwards. (君子上達 小人下達) .. - Analects ​ It means that a gentleman goes through high-level studies and disciplines to rectify himself and create a better world, but a small man concentrates on fulfilling his own interests and greed. In addition, <Heonmun> contains words that tell how to do it. That's 'Hahak Sangdal'. It means that no matter how high ideals and dignified life are pursued, daily learning must be a prerequisite. ​ ​ Education must first teach the near and small, and then the far and great. If you do not go through the process of solidifying the basics properly in order to achieve quick results and teach high-level things first, you will collapse at some point, like building a castle on sand. However, if you stop at something close and small, you will not be able to make progress in your studies. The beginning of learning is small and close, but the end of learn...
