So is the act of questioning, itself, contraindicated, or is it the expectation of an answer, explanation or solution that’s blasphemous? (he asked, with bated temerity…) Thanks!

Well, nothing is blasphemous, but yes, I’d say that every question already has an answer built into it.

I remember U.G. Krishnamurti saying that every question is arising from the answers you already got. He would have said, that you should get rid of all the answers once and for all.

I’m not that extreme or would say it’s even gentler than that. Just look where the question is coming from. Is it focused on form? Does it arise from form or from the formless? In other words, is coming from the Unknown or from the Known?

That’s all you have to look for.
