Why Are You Here? Five Inquiries for Clarity

  • Published

Why are you here? Not just on this page, but in this life.

The Inquiries

  1. Core Reflect on moments where you felt most like yourself. Identify the common thread in these experiences.
  2. Values Observe the principles that guide your behavior when you are alone. Identify your top three values.
  3. Purpose Remove all expectations from others. Observe what remains as your natural drive.
  4. Capacity Notice where you move with ease and where you meet friction. Acknowledge both aspects.
  5. Alignment At the end of each day, ask: Did my actions reflect my true nature?

Accessing the Subconscious

When answers remain hidden from the conscious mind, use this method to bypass logic:

Stillness Ask your question. Sit in silence, without grasping for an answer. Breathe. Allow everything to surface. It can be a word, a feeling, an image. Say yes to it, continue to observe. What shows may be something unexpected or deeply familiar. If there is nothing, try again later.

Body Resonance Pay attention to physical sensations. A sense of centering or lightness indicates a truth.

Rapid Response Write the first word that appears after reading a question. Speed prevents the analytical mind from filtering the output.

The Observer State View your life as if watching a film of another person. Note the patterns that are obvious from an outside perspective.
