Yes going direct to the sun for answers Is a good call .
It would depend on the sun having the answers to what the sun Is .

I am trying to put across that there Is only one answer to every one question although many could think of different answers In relation to what kind of being Is the sun for example - but there will be only one answer for that question . .

probably not any clearer he eh ehe

Look at it objectively. There is a curiosity which wants to explore, so fine, do that.

Curiosity seeks silently, without desire for its preference, in a sincere quest to find out what is there.

Hi Elena .

Ask yourself a question that you know In mind . 2+2 for example .

where does that answer come from In relation to that question asked .

Ask yourself a question that you consciously don't know the answer to?

Does the answer to that question exist? If so where?

I get the curiosity aspect Gem .

I can link curiosity with enquiry .

Self enquiry arises In mind to some but not In others .

What brings forth such questions to some and not others .

Not necessarily. As I see it, getting to know the sun would be in direct intimate communion.

And the same for getting to know the One Answer.

Self 'enquiry' is like internal dialogue, 'inquiry' is silent and observant.

It's like one guy is standing there on one side of the river asking 'what's on the other bank?' thats enquiry but he'll never know... and the other guy is curious so he swims across the river and takes a look around.

I would say Gem that one can self enquire (or Inquire) In many ways . Does one self enquire within an Impatient mind set or Is one prepared to let things unfold .

similar perhaps In the meaning behind 'If Mohammed won't come to the mountain, the mountain must come to mohammed .

I understand your line of thought .

So the sun knowing the sun would be the same as xan knowing the sun .

Does that depend on xan knowing xan primarily?

Hi A.C.

I asked on another post something similar I feel In that what prompts a question .

Perhaps the question arises because there In waiting lies the answer .

Perhaps the answer precedes the question .

I kinda touched on something the other day where the knowings precedes the experience .

Interesting . .

Only if xan is the same 'kind of conscious being' that the sun is.

If you are asking... Where could an answer come from that is the same in every kind of being?

that would take xan knowing xan and the sun in essence.
