The Thinking Mind is a Questioning Mind

The thinking mind is a questioning mind. The quality of thinking is determined by the quality of its questioning. God gave us this power to ask the right questions, not stupid questions, not self absorbed questions, not meaningless questions, not imaginary questions, not evil questions but divine inspired questions.  The power of the thinking mind is in the questions the mind asks. Questions are the force that powers our thinking. Questions define the focus of thinking, the information we seek, the answers we find, the direction we take. Ask the right question, the thinking mind will find the right answer. A man’s destiny is determined by the quality of his questioning. The power of thinking can only be realised by applying deliberately it’s fundamental principles. These principles of thinking are applied, by it’s nature to every act of thinking. If you think; you automatically apply these principles. If you do not think; you do not apply these principles. What are the principles of thinking? All thinking has a purpose, an end. The thinking mind thinks for a purpose, that is the motivation of thinking. The purpose of thinking is a thought; an idea or concept from which we act. Our actions respond to thought. The result of thinking is a response. In pursuing that thought we automatically generate questions. Questions are the stimulus. To answer a question you need data. The question will determine the nature, focus, content and specifics of the data. The power of focus is in the focus of the thinking mind’s questioning. Once data is brought to bear on the question a conclusion is formed. But it doesn’t finish there. Conclusions are evaluated and accessed regarding assumptions used in the thinking process and implications or consequences of the conclusion. It would be very fool hardy to follow every conclusion without evaluating the implications of taking action on that conclusion. The thinking mind is part of our souls and God’s gift. God wants us to think, god wants us to question, because god wants us to find the Truth and to find Trust in Him.
