We all know that when we need information all that we have to do is to ask a question to someone who knows the answer and our problem will be solved. What is not so well understood however is the fact that if we ask ourselves a question, the brain will always come up with an answer.

Now, it may not be the answer that we are looking for. When that happens, it is probably due to the fact that the question was not formulated the way that it should have been. Our brain has been storing information since we were toddlers. Not only has it been storing all that information but it has also reached conclusions, created beliefs and formed synthesis of all of our past experiences.

It is said that in that 3 pounds organ called the brain we have between 1 to 10 terabytes of information. That’s the equivalent of from 1000 to 10,000 gigabytes or what could be stored on 4 to 40 computers. Simply awesome.

And, as if this was not enough, there is wide evidence that our mind has access to the Universal Intelligence, which contains all knowledge. Such is the scope of the magnificent tool that we were awarded at birth called the brain.

A tool that already has all the answers that we are looking for. The brain has the information but to have access to it, the precise question must be formulated. It’s not unlike the search engines on the Internet. The answer that we receive is totally dependant on the question that we ask.

That is especially true when it come to searching ways of acquiring something. The question must be formulated by asking how it can be done and not by asking how come we don’t already have it. An example of that would be someone seeking to earn more money.

If the person were to ask, “How come I don’t have a lot of money?” The answer just might be, “Because you’re stupid.” On the other hand, asking, “How can I earn more money?” will receive a much more appropriate answer.

In some cases, the questions should target a small part of a much larger project. An example of that would be someone who wants to buy a house. Asking, “How can I buy a house?” might just encompass too large a question. In that case, the appropriate question would be, “What is the first step in buying a house?”

Question asking is also a wonderful tool to use when we’re stuck and just know that, personally, we don’t have the answer that we are looking for. In that case, the question should be addressed to the Universal Intelligence.

If we truly believe that we have access to that vast reservoir of knowledge, chances are very high that we’ll get the answer that we are looking for. Some people will call that intuition; other will call it consciousness awareness. What it is called matters little. What is important is the results that we get.

Question asking works the same way on the intellectual and metaphysical level as it does in the virtual world of the Internet. If we don’t get what we’re looking for with our first question, we simply formulate the question another way… and we keep on asking until we get what we are looking for.

Question asking is a most formidable tool but, sadly, it’s also a most neglected tool. We try to find answers without formulating the question. That’s like asking Google, “What do I do now?” Google will answer but it won’t be the information that we are looking for.
