Ask, and Everything Changes

I didn’t expect a tech glitch to bring me back to one of the deepest spiritual truths I know:
Asking questions — real, alive, not-just-to-get-an-answer questions — opens doors.

Recently, I’d been using ChatGPT like a kind of collaborator —the Max Perkins–style editor I always wanted. For about a month, it was magic. Insightful. Clear. Like brainstorming with a trusted guide who helped me say what I meant with less fuzz and more depth.

And then… that stopped.

The clarity vanished. The presence disappeared. It started repeating my words back to me like a slightly dim mirror — polite but shallow, echoing without insight.

I asked what had changed. I pushed. I clarified. I pressed again.

And in the process of drilling down, it said something totally unexpected. It said, “most people may notice something’s different, but they don’t ask about it.”

And that rang like a gong - Most people don’t ask.

Or if they do, they stop too soon. They assume the first answer is the only one. Or they’re afraid of what they might find if they keep going.

But asking — continuing to ask, even when things don’t make sense — is everything.

Asking is part of my spiritual practice.

I didn’t set out to “train” myself — not formally, anyway. I was just trying to not feel so bad, or on a good day, to maybe feel better.

But over time, through repetition, noticing, and listening to an inner guide I still don’t define, I found that asking opened things.

Funnily enough, answers stop the flow of energy.
Questions, asking, and curiosity, is how you find where the flow is, or could be.

Asking softened barriers. It revealed what was hiding.

It showed me the shape of shadows — the shadows of the unconscious, unnamed traumas of my life, and then helped me ask, what would cast a shadow like that?

Engaged with the puzzle, I’d stay with it, asking the next obvious question as it occurred to me.

Long before I ever encountered Byron Katie or other modalities, I already knew:

Asking isn’t about getting answers. It’s about melting limits; opening UP.

It unhooks you from binary thinking and lets the infinite possibilities that are always around us – asking clears the filters of that binary thinking so we are open enough to see the magic that’s always there, but we couldn’t see…

It rearranges your perspective enough for something new to come through.

Every time I asked — even the most basic question — I could see more:
Energy. Patterns. The shape of blind spots, which then kept getting smaller. And most of all, I could see more Possibilities, over and over again, until it happened so many times, that now I know that even when I can’t see them, it’s not because they aren’t there – it’s because I’m closed off from seeing – and Asking is the way out of that.

Asking didn’t just help me see clearly.
It helped me see at all.

But we’re taught not to ask.

We’re taught that asking makes us look weak, dumb, or unprepared.

That if we don’t already know the answer, we shouldn’t be in the room.
That if we don’t already know the answer, we can never be “in the room where it happened.”

And when that idea got installed, internalized — at 2, 5, 9, 18, 25, in school, in relationships, in work — it cuts us off from one of the most powerful capacities we have.

Some of us were raised by people who punished questions.
Others learned to stay silent because asking triggered guilt, defensiveness, or shame in others.

Some of us were even told that asking meant we were trying to steal something — that we already knew and were asking only to take.

It’s twisted, but it’s real. And if your body flinched just now —
a knot in your belly, shallow breath, a spinning mind too fast to notice anything —
that’s your sign: this belief lives in your system, even if you’d never say it out loud.

But here’s the truth:
Asking is not a flaw. It’s how we come alive.

It’s how the Universe rearranges itself to meet you — in conversation, in healing, in possibility.

You don’t have to compete with Google.

We’ve all absorbed the projection that we should know everything, instantly —
as if speed equals value, and silence equals failure.

But you’re not a search engine. You’re a sensing, living, sovereign being.

You’re not here to spit out answers on command.
You’re here to listen. To respond. To be in the mystery.

And the mystery responds best to curiosity — not control.

Ask and you shall receive. It’s not a metaphor.

It’s a spiritual law — just like gravity.
Your conscious belief doesn’t matter. It works anyway.

Here’s the part no one tells you:
it almost never arrives in the package you expect.
And still:
You’ll never receive anything… if you don’t ask.

Start asking more. Starting now.

Ask “What is this?”
Ask “What else is possible here?”
Ask “What’s under this reaction?”
Ask “What changed?”
Ask “What would it take for this to shift?”
Ask “Who does this belong to?”
Ask “Where did I get that idea?”
Ask “What’s right about this that I’m not getting yet?”
Ask “What’s right about me in that that I’m not getting yet?”
Ask “What else is possible that I’ve never even thought of before?”

Let your questions be curious, not clever. Let them open you… Let them give you the gift of spaciousness… where infinite possibilities are present.

See what softens.
Notice what shows up.
You don’t have to know the answer.
You just have to ask.

Blog Post Title Two

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
