How To Get Answers
There is a straightforward way to find answers to any question you have. Ask and be patient for the answer. By the way, even Einstein used this approach.
Ask a Question
First, ask the question. What do you want to know? What do you want an answer for?
How can I make more money?
How can I increase my sales and enjoy doing it?
How can I enjoy my life more?
How can I pay this bill?
How should I deal with this problem?
How can I make my bedroom more attractive?
Set an Intention
Another, similar method is to set an intention.
I want to see how to make my house more beautiful.
I want to see a way that I can keep my job and make more money
I want to see how to get fit in a way that I enjoy.
Be Careful What You Wish For
An important part of this process is being specific. General questions that will have vague answers will not be helpful. If a smart ass answered your question, what answer would they give? If you don[‘ like it, maybe you’re answer is not specific enough. Vague questions are things like “What is the answer to life?” Another way to think about this is, sometimes you will have an immediate answer or possibility in your head, but you don’t like it. Clarify your question. For example, you might want to know “How do I find a. date?” and the answer might be “Go to an online dating site,” but you don’t want to do that. Instead, you could ask, “What is another way to find a date other than online dating?”
It’s like the genie in the lamp. Be careful what you wish for.
Be Open to the Answer
The next step after asking your question is to be open to the answer. Allow the answer to come when it comes. Maybe it will be immediately, maybe it will be next year. Just be clear about what you want and answer to, and be comfortable not having it. Simply “put it out there.”
Related to that is being open-minded about what the answer is. Maybe the answer is not what you want to hear. Maybe the answer is you’re asking the wrong question. Pay attention to how you feel and don’t try to force an answer into a box. Maybe someone is offering you a solution, but you don’t like it out of prodice. Be flexible.
Usually, the answer will come when you least expect it, like when you’re paying bills, watching a movie, or taking a walk. Einstein believed it was important for people to spend time alone so that they could hear the answers. Einstein felt that people should have lots of time alone to do things like sailing and playing the violin, which he did regularly. That’s when his ideas came to him.
Update Your Question
You can update your question if you don’t like the answer. Maybe you ask, “How do I make more money?” but “working more hours” is not something you want to do. You might say, “What is a way that I can make money and enjoy myself?”
How Does This Work?
It’s important to understand that your mind is more of a receiver than a computer. By setting a clear intention, you can allow yourself to receive thoughts. But you have to be open to receiving.
