An Answer In Mind . .

What's the difference?

Then the question is... What does one do with those answers in their mind? Use for something practical, belief or unbelief, questioned or open ended.

Does the mind come up with an answer or does what we are .

If what we are Is seduced within an ego mind state for Instance then Is a question asked In mind met with an ego Influenced answer .

Hi A.C.

I would say as an example If we all look up at the sun and we all ask ourselves this question In mind .

What kind of conscious being Is the sun .

From where will the answer to that question manifest from .

When I speak of an answer to a question I would say that the answer would contain 'the answer' and not what many would think that the answer might be .

Dam LOL I am confused perhaps this is not the best day but this whole thread is making my head spin LOL

Would you accept an answer based on percentages?

As I see it, all questions arise in the mind. Where the answers come from depends on how open we are 'what we are', and how free we have become from the ego mind's influences.

That depends on where you go for the answer... to your mind, which could only speculate at best... or to the sun being and get to know it directly.

Gee, daz... Sounds like a maze within a maze to me. I know what you mean, but could you say it more simply?

My example, as I relook at it in the light of your query, reveals to me the example was not conveying what was on my mind.
Because when i relook at it, there is no difference.
But I intuitively wrote it so i figured there must be or is huge potential that there is a difference i was seeing when I created the example.
and this is what i found.

The difference is in the perception/belief of the questioner, in that they can percieve the answer was provided by another entity, or themself.

This answer may still not relate well to the example, but this is where my exploration led me to, so...

I get this bit.
Isn't this the dilemma you are enquiring about, in that does the answer manifest from an external source and one percieves it internally, or does one manifest the answer and still percieves this answer the same way as the external one.
In that percieving inner and outer information is still processed/percievced by the same internal mechanism?

I don't get this bit. Please expand, express differently, something. ~smiles~
It has two parts to it, that's where I'm a bit lost.
The transition from the first to the second.
And the added thing of more than one person observing the answer throws me a tad too.

I however find that flawed in as much as; if we think of a question why would we bother to ask if we already know/knew the answer? It seems like a cycle that could become very confusing. I hope you find an answer so I can find one as well.

Have a great day,

Ah, but SC, what if the only way to find the answer within is to have a question to drive us to it?
What if questions are the process by which one increases in knowledge.
Sort of like seek and you shall find\acquire. If one doesn't look, one won't acquire.

Can one know an answer to a question without a question to answer?
The answers may be inside, but they are not answers at the moment, they are only information.
They become answers when they connect with questions.
Because isn't an answer simply information with an answer label attached to it because it fulfills the needs of the question.

So when someone says, "all answers are within you", does it make more sense to you to say, "all the information you need to answer any question is within you."

You mean the answers can come from a place where the questions do not?
