Contemplating the nature of good questions

[WonderSeeker]

How do you ask good questions? Perhaps even more fundamental: What is a good question? My thoughts:

• Good questions are "big-picture"-focused,
• Good questions open new doors; they aim to raise consciousness,
• Good questions are relative to one's own needs, and
• Good questions are foundational (like the italicized/bold question above).

Of course, what counts as a "good question" is entangled with our socially-constructed world. What this forum considers to be a good question won't be by mainstream culture. Does the ability to ask genuinely good questions rest on awareness itself? Can only "I" or "you" decide for ourselves what is or isn't a good question? I have no fucking idea yet, but this is a start.

Please share your thoughts~

Asking what makes a good question is a good question. 

 

To ask a sincere and deep question, you have to admit in the first place that you don't know and are clueless. Even reaching this state of admittance is difficult with all our taken for granted filters and assumptions. 

And then you make the intention to investigate/observe/learn, as/after you empty your cup.

You must question the questioner.
