What would you ask?

SheepKing

I'm sitting on the idea of getting into some conversation with my subconscious. Some people call the subconscious their higher self. Some people say when you talk to yourself and get responses that are of above average quality overtime you are learning to communicate with your spirit guides. Some people think if you talk to yourself you're odd.
I lie down staring at the ceiling and often ask myself "What should I ask? What should I say that would be relevant to my life and help me out when the going gets rough?"
So, what would you ask?

I like to ask about why I feel the way I feel, and what blind spots I have...
For example, in your case, perhaps you might ask, "Why don't I have any good questions to ask?", which might lead to (for example), "You struggle with the idea that there is meaningful truth. The hypocrisy that exists in your mind is that everything is perfect just the way it is, versus the reality that there are certain things a mind must realize in order to better itself."
To which you might reply, "So what is the correct?", and maybe you hear, "Where there are two conflicting truths, each of which seem equally correct, always have faith that both are true to some extent. It is correct that things are perfect the way things are in this moment, and it is also correct that there is a progression of revelations a mind must go through to better itself. You can't think of any meaningful questions because you are attached to the idea that things are perfect now, and applying that truth incorrectly. Things are perfect now as a result of perfect execution of cause and effect. The correctness of this moment is only correct in terms of how it's come about from previous decisions. It's those previous decisions that are imperfect. Incorrect decisions, with correct execution of cause and effect, lead to suffering in the 'now'. Instead of focusing on the perfect execution of cause and effect, instead focus on how you can make better decisions. Then you'll be able to find all sorts of questions to ask."
That's what I hear at least :-P.

I would ask, "What can I do to improve myself?"
Anyway, I agree with Sean's Reply, it seems like a good idea.

Hah, ask "Where's Waldo?"
When I tried that, I got a "Wherever you want him to be." P-: It was probably my imagination, though.

I would ask what comes when you divide Pi with 0.
If that one doens't happen, then I'll simply ask for accurate pi.
Then I jolt and fall to the ground lifeless, as my subconsciousness runs on an eternal loop hogging all my mental resources needed to keep my heart beating and breathing going.
Or even better, I might end up out of my body with a fancy "ArithmeticException(DivideByZero) message ringing in my ears.
Worth as shot.
Seriously... How does the subC know when to just "forget it" and throw some crappy answer instead of trying to define an accurate representation. It might have a time switch or something...

Is there really a difference between your subconsciousness and your own imagination? If you think about something the only answer you will get is one that you already know, you didn't know that you knew it. Your subC is you're inner self, but it is still just YOU.
...okay I just answered my own question. Your imagination is all fantasy brought up by triggers that happen in your life to think that. For example, if you're playing a game or reading a book, you sometimes think of different ways for something to happen or for someone to answer a question, and other weird things. Your subC usually focuses on reality and try's to use science or reasoning to explain everything. Unless it gets tired and tells you "IT JUST DOES!" My mind has done that before.
um questions I would ask(and have before):
Why am I here? What am I supposed to do with my life? Why haven't I killed myself yet? and Is he thinking about me?

"I would ask what comes when you divide Pi with 0.

What about any number by zero? And what's inaccurate about pi? It's not inaccurate, it's just a never-ending decimal. It's kindof like asking for an accurate value of i. Even math isn't full of objective truths. There are holes, and they fill them in the best they can.
You're a math major, I'm assuming?

wait...you cant divide zero by any number because zero isnt a number its a place holder.
@thepantsthatbe
Numbers are perfect. Mathematics is perfect. Some numbers are just too perfect for our own understanding, so we explain them the best we can. Its the people that mess up the perfectness and simplicity of Numbers. (sorry, I turn to math as an escape away from emotions and unclear answers.)

Lol at the parenthetical explanation.
However, I disagree. Of course, as the years go by, we develop more concret explanations in Math, but that's just the same as Science. However, mathematics are never perfect though we strive to make them damn close. That's because we rely on them so much. If mathematics were perfect, someone would've easier explained everything by now. But we can't. Or maybe it was our system of mathematics to begin with that needs revising? Who knows. Math cannot be perfect. Math is the product of man, and man is completely and utterly imperfect.
And that's why we all live. We strive for perfection, even though we ourselves are not and by no means ever will be. :D

Okay very true. Mathematics is unperfect because it is manmade. But, numbers are still perfect. Too perfect to be understood and that is why mathematics is unperfect. Do you agree with this?

dude you just like.. blew my mind :P
but..
i would ask.. what are next weeks lottery numbers?
where did sheepking get that sailor icon?
did he draw it?
who designed the quarter?
do i need a shower?
do they realize that this is a joke about how i cant keep my mind straight?
why am i still typing?
... i like Pi

Here's an interesting question I might try sometime:
"Who am I?"

Actually, I ask myself that question everyday. Because I'm supposed to be the only one who really knows who I am. But yet I can barely trust myself.

@Jeffrey: I'm right here. See?
As for serious questions: Could you explain to me the best way to do [insert confusing task here]? What's the best way to project my violin sound? What am I feeling about [insert confusing situation here]? What the hell does [insert random complicated french word here] mean?
You get the picture. I would like to simply clarify some stuff. Annoying then that I can't yet communicate directly with Mr. Subconscious. Oh well! =)

Close. Computer Science major. =P
And I chose Pi and division by zero merely because I assume most if not everyone of us is familiar with both concepts.
Easier to make point this way.

Lain, Did we really create math or is it just that we found the rule that fits the observation. In reality, I think it is numbers that are flawed, because they are, infact, what is manmade. Just look at the mayan number system and the greek/roman one that we use today.
The one that we use today is in a base 10 format, we use only 10 numbers total.
0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9.
However, when the Mayans Created there Long count calender (current end of the world theme going on around the net) . They Used a base 13 System. which uses 13 numbers total before repeating or adding.
0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-X-Y-Z
The Fact of the matter is that with either system, you are getting thesame rules, the only difference is that one is in another base.
A semi Famous Reference to 42 in The hitchikers guide to the galaxy and the other books by the same author.
"What do you Get When you Multiply Six By Nine?"
The Answer, in base 10, would be 54, however, if you use 13 base multiplication, it would equal 42.
Also, Why is Zero not a number, Isn't every number just a placeholder?
It's not the numbers or the math that is imperfect. It's Humanity that is Imperfect, It's not theat the math or the numbers are worng, it is just that Observation, i.e, the human element, which is imperfect.
Dividing any number y zero equas zero, it's just that when you follow the algorythms developed by human observation, we end up with 0.0einfinity. This doesn't mean that it was the math or the numbers that were wrong, It means only that the original observation was incorrect or overlooked that issue. It's just Convention that allows us to say that any number divided by zero will equal zero because it makes logical sense in multiple situations, just like when you are dealing with any number to the power of 0, which will always equal one. This works because of the situation below.
x(y^0)=x not y or 0
for example (try this on your calculator if you want)
15(3^0)=15
The point I'm trying to get across: Eerything is perfect, and therefore nothing is perfect. To say otherwise just doesn't make sense.
