Questions like "why did God/I start creation?"

"to what extent am I God?"

"who is everybody else?"

remain unanswered....and there are a *lot* more unanswered questions.

So what we really ALL desperately *need* is an EXPLAINATION which will put our mind at rest.

We have no real explaination as to *why* we are here, or where we are going. We have to GUESS. It is all a big mystery.

If anything, we have too many explainations which all contradict each other....sigh.

Who is that royal WE that haunts me so ;-)

I dont feel any need or want for explanations.

I enjoy the exploration and discovery.

I dont feel insecure or ill at ease.

An explanation is a heavy bag to carry...lots of contradictory explanations must be like being weighed down in concrete.

Explanations simply fill in the holes with cotton wool.....so people can imagine theyve found something more than nothing...Love in emptiness...others in oneness...etc etc

Theyre not meant to be truth, learning or explanations are only band aids, not healing

what can put the mind to rest is not explanation, no amount of explanation can put the mind to rest.

What else could one accept other than existence?
What is so difficult to understand about it?

Life is like the ladder to the chicken coop.
Long, steep and full of s**t.

These replies are all very well, which people have given me, but I feel a bit skeptical about them. Its very easy to feel carefree when one is happy. But when the trouble starts one feels a need for answers.

It feels as though people are saying "Answers! explainations! what? Theres no need for them old boy....they only clutter the mind. Relax, let go, the mind will never be happy anyway".

Which has an element of truth to it, but its not the whole story. I find it a bit blaze. There is nothing *wrong* with wanting an answer.

I'm made to feel a bit of an idiot because I'm asking for one.

Very well most of us here are happy with 'no explaination' and 'no answer'. I'm not sure that is true for me.

Each to their own.

I think the trouble itself is the need for an answer. I, for one, am not saying its easy to let go of the want for answers though.

Yes, we are human, and as such we sometimes have questions, serious questions. It is a bit late today to enter into a conversation but I'll apply my mind.

We are all living truth or... we are all truth living.

My opinion!

when trouble comes, most of the questions that arise are in the form of "why's". why me?

these questions arise because of some basic beliefs and assumptions held . e g when trouble comes, there is an assumption and a belief that there is a supreme being that supposed to look after you. thus the demand for explanation when things are not going smoothy
