Your life moves in the direction of the questions you ask.

You are here on earth to become self-realized and conscious.

Hey my friend - welcome to my new Substack community. I’m grateful you’re here.

I believe we’re here on the planet to learn to become self-realized. The more conscious you are of your thoughts, beliefs, actions and results, the clearer you are about your life.

I want to take you on a journey with me. For the last four years, I’ve been writing a memoir about my journey through trauma and experiencing a reality shift in my consciousness through the healing process.

Questions help you find your way back to your true Self. Writing this book has been the most healing thing (and the hardest) I’ve done. It started with questions to tap into my psyche (soul).

Twice a month, I’ll send you a question. I recommend you write it in your journal and let it simmer.

Every other week, I’ll send you a question to ponder and write about as a way to become more conscious about your life.

It’s important to ask questions that matter. You get a larger life by asking larger questions.

“Answers tell us where we’ve been,” said James Hollis, PhD, Jungian Analyst. “Questions get us on our journey.”

Hollis often said to people that psychoanalysis is not about curing you, because you’re not a disease, you’re a process.

“This is about making your life more interesting to you - a life full of adventure, a life full of daily choices that create and express your values,” Hollis said.

I was trained in 2009 as a master life coach then I went on to study inquiry with Byron Katie for years. Her work is the real deal. I’ve awakened through The Work.

Inquiry opens your mind to your truth. Your language center (ego) lies constantly - it’s the old repetitive, negative voice in the head meant to protect you. But it keeps you playing small. Most of your emotional suffering comes from your negative thoughts.

Inquiry helps you see the truth and as the saying goes, the truth sets you free, but it kicks your butt first.

My hope is that you’ll write your answers in the comments below. It’s fun to share and read what others write.

You have the answers within so let’s get started.

PLEASE post a response below if you’re comfortable. I want to hear from you so we can talk to each other.

What did you do as a child (play) where you lost all sense of time?

OK, here’s my answer:

When I was a child I loved to play outside. I played in the woods with my sister and we made areas we’d call our huts and collect moss, sticks and beautiful things to put there. I found my true Self in fourth grade at Girl Scout camp. We slept in a cabin, hiked, canoed, sat around the campfire roasting marshmallows and singing songs.

Now over to you. xo Sherold
