The Art of the Question

1. When/why should I ask questions?

I should ask questions when truely comes from a doubt,  and also to get to know people better, getting interested in their life is through asking questions about who they are. Sometimes I observe myself and realize that I do questions out from a reaction instead of formulating them, sometimes just doing questions from reaction is a question without a basis, back round or importance. I think it is important to think about the question I am about to ask, because sometimes the question I do is not what I really want to understand. I think it is important to ask questions to have a better communication with others and with myself. And when it is from a real query.


2. What question should I ask first, since everything is so intricately interconnected?

The first thing is to ask myself what I want to understand about a situation, topic or whatever comes to dialogue. Looking at the root of the doubt, where does this question comes from? Which associations about this theme or topic comes to my mind? I've discovered that some questions are born from things that are already part of me. This connectedness gives birth to more questions. So I think it is important to meditate first about the whole picture and after that, ask from that place a question.

3. What question can I ask that is beyond the current fashions, tastes, and trends?

I believe that all fashions, tastes and trends are present most of the time. I truely believe authenticity comes out from subtlety. I think there is no need to stay out from all those fashions to go beyond, when I observe that there are many questions to ask that not come from ordinary sociability is from subtle intuitions about how I perceive things that are already predetermined.

4. How does art define my being?

My being manifests in every thing I ask, do, react, think, say, etc... That "being" sometimes is a copy from the outside and sometimes is a bit more authentic. But if everything that comes out of me is a manifestation, of course the art I do is a projection of the unconscious and conscious of my being. So my art defines my unconscious and conscious... and beyond that.

5. What is a community? Why do we have societies? What is our common unity?

A community for me is a harmonious "family". Probably the world we live in does not agree with harmony, because, chaos and human necessities have driven society to a vast ocean of labyrinths. And we perceive reality as that. As a human being acting as we have act since old ages. So a community can also be an insane and sick "family". A community being healthy or not, has the ability to contain and hold itself through the flow and fluctuations of life. With the participation of others, with the exchange, with giving and receiving. We have societies to function as one, or as many ones. But to work as a whole. But the problem with wanting more and wanting to have more power has made terrible societies. And our common unity is that we all have the power to give and to receive and to become better humans and to start living in a less egotistic reality.
