The big questions

The freer the mind becomes

of personal needs and emotional preoccupations

less distracted by random thinking

less limited by preconceived ideas

the more knowledgeable and differentiated our intelligences are

the more there is peace and balance between the left and the right hemispheres (of the brain)

the more stillness there is in the mind

the more interesting things become

bigger and bolder the quest becomes:

– What is life

– Where does life come from, where is its origin

– What started the manifest universe

– Are there other, parallel universes

– What is the purpose of Existence

– Is there a God

– Is God the Reality or is Reality a dream in God

– Is Consciousness God or is Consciousness a creation of God

– Is Consciousness the ultimate substance of All-That-Is

– What is the purpose and meaning of humans

– Does God want something from me

– Is there something like a absolutely free will

– Do i have a specific purpose to fulfill in this life

– What is the ultimate goal of evolution

Quest: (according to Cambridge Dictionary)

– a long search for something that is difficult to find

– an attempt to achieve something difficult

Question: (according to Cambridge Dictionary)

– a sentence or phrase used to find out information

– in an exam, a problem that tests a person’s knowledge or ability

– any matter that needs to be dealt with or considered

– a doubt or confusion

The way i am “questing”, the way i raise such big questions is a bit different.

Rather than needing to reach the goal of my quest,

rather than wanting to find a reasonable answer to my question,

I see questions like doorways of attention and slightly focussed awareness into a certain area of existence,

windows that i open so that the unknown can come in

I experience a quest as the willingness, the courage

to let this unknown transform me,

expand my individual consciousness outward.

Therefore, no question can be too big

the heavy stuff is actually

light as a feather

to me

(Light as a feather – Flora Purim)
