Question - Words used in A Course in Miracles
The
miracle, being a way of perceiving, is not knowledge. It is the right
answer to a question, but you do not question when you know.
Questioning illusions is the first step in undoing them. The miracle,
or the right answer, corrects them. … Knowledge is timeless,
because certainty is not questionable. You know when you have ceased
to ask questions. T-3.III.2:4-7,10,11.
The
ego compromises with the issue of the eternal, just as it does with
all issues touching on the real question in any way. By becoming
involved with tangential issues, it hopes to hide the real question
and keep it out of mind. ... the one question that is never asked by
those who pursue them is, "What
for?" This is the question that you
must learn to ask in connection with everything. What is the
purpose? Whatever it is, it will direct your efforts automatically.
When you make a decision of purpose, then, you have made a decision
about your future effort; a decision that will remain in effect
unless you change your mind. T-4.V.6:3,4,7-11.
The ego does not know
what a real question is, although it asks an endless number. Yet you
can learn this as you learn to question the value of the ego, and
thus establish your ability to evaluate its questions.
T-8.IX.1:3,4.
All
questions asked within this world are but a way of looking, not a
question asked. A question asked in hate cannot be answered, because
it is an answer in itself. A double question asks and answers, both
attesting the same thing in different form. The world asks but one
question. It is this: "Of these illusions, which of them is
true? ...
A pseudo-question has no
answer. It dictates the answer even as it asks. Thus is all
questioning within the world a form of propaganda for itself. ... the
answers to the questions of the world contained within the questions
that are asked … . An honest question is a learning tool that asks
for something that you do not know. It does not set conditions for
response, but merely asks what the response should be. But no one in
a conflict state is free to ask this question, for he does not want
an honest answer where the conflict ends. T-27.IV.4:1-5/5:1-4,6-8.
