The questions starting with Who, What, and Why always prompts When, Where, and How. Only after these generate multiple options, do we ask the final question, Which.
Questions are the key components to learning. Any parent can tell you, that as soon as a child begins to comprehend their environment, the questions start to flow. It is how every human creates their cache of knowledge. Without questions, our only source of knowledge would come from books of interest, our limited life experiences or those of family, and instinct. Trial-and-error would be the method of choice delivered through the School of Hard Knocks.
But the six questions of discovery are much more than the mental calisthenics for all knowledge; they are the keys we use to unlock the truth needed to live by. They are, by Divine design, tied to the natural order of our existence through the Power of the Wisdom of Three; the natural laws of science having only three components. No, they are not six stand-alone questions; they are really two pairs of three questions, each pair intended to enrich the knowledge that makes us uniquely human.
Who, What and Why answer the questions about our human trinity of personas; our Personal, Professional / Vocational, and Spiritual selves. In essence, they reveal our purpose. Who we are, as a person? What we are, as a student, worker, or a retiree? Why we are, spiritually? The answers to these three questions form our self-image. It is our self-image that projects the three characters we portray: who we see our self to be, who others see us to be, and who we perceive others believe us to be. All these answers combined, should lead us to one unified individual: not three different and separate personalities. Who, what, and why we are, regardless of when, where, and how we are!
When, Where, and How make up the questions that direct us toward our future accomplishments. They should clarify our actions while supporting our human personas through our three-conscience human abilities: our Thoughts, Words, and Deeds. These questions allow us to seek out the truth from other sources. It is our thoughts that conceive the questions, bringing them to written or oral words so we can learn and teach them for and to others, and our actions or lack of action make up our deeds which are created by applying their answers appropriately or, in the case of poor decisions, inappropriately, to our personal, professional, and spiritual lives.
All of these question lead to what the choice question is, Which? The answer to that question makes the difference between wise or unwise decisions. Our freewill, guided by our emotions, knowledge, and values will ultimately control the answer to that question, as well as the final outcome and consequences.
Asking the discovery questions of everyone will only confuse you; look around, there are many inquisitive fools. We must learn how to weed out those sources who do not know the truth or those who benefit from ignoring or withholding the truth. Those people, possibly loved, should never be trusted to provide true guidance or to enflame our emotions. They know that many can be manipulated to use emotions, as the determining factor, when answering the Choice question.
In addition, we must use of these questions appropriately to be effective. Start by using the other laws of nature in unison with these. One such law is The Law of Determining the Truth. It provides a simple to remember, yet difficult to master, formula for uncovering the true facts of life by asking the right questions, to the right people, at the right time. Then, once the truth is obtained and the right choice is made, we should follow the Law of Applied Truth; we are each born to learn, then teach, and finally, to live the truths of human life.
If this is my last post, I want all to know there was only one purpose for all that I have written; to have made a positive difference in the lives of others.
