Questioning belief, asking questions, seeking answers. What is the answer to constant questioning, can we stop our questions for long enough to enable us to listen for the answers? Is it essentially necessary to stop questioning sometimes?

The only way to stop questioning is to find yourself, and you do this by first believing in your self. Questioning your beliefs allows you to discern the beliefs that you are now holding blindly within you.

Here's a quote I lifted from somewhere. I can't recall the source where I obtained it from, but it's telling us to live our questions and then we will eventually live our truth. The very questions we are using to seek our answers are always bringing us answers attached to them, for every question contains it's answer and the answer is connected to it. A question cannot be asked if an answer does not exist.

One day we will wake up and find that we already have the answers to many of our questions, indeed they have gradually been pulled into our awareness by the very asking of the questions themselves over time.

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will find them gradually, without noticing it, and live along some distant day into the answer. All the soaring's of my mind begin in my questions."

-Rainer Maria Rilke, a well known and respected German poet (4 December 1875 until 29 December 1926) is often considered by many to be one of Germany's greatest poets. He writes of love and life hauntingly beautifully and touches our humanity with his raw, yet truthful approach.

How true is this quote? Should I patiently wait for the answers to find me in their own time or should I keep asking the questions because they are always hinting and pointing towards the answers anyway, and they will eventually lead me to the answers connected to each question?

Questions serve you if you serve them.

This means that instead of trying to force the answers to satisfy your questions you just use the questions as stepping levers to lever a way towards where they are pointing towards. They always point towards truth. Truth is never hidden. The right question will be the right key to unlock the right truth for you now. Patience is needed
