The Art of Asking Deep Questions

I have many questions throughout the day and wonder if they’re necessary or a hindrance. Should I drop them, and how does this affect understanding? Rupert says: ‘If you have a question, ask it, but dropping a question doesn’t put an end to the question. If it’s a real question, then the question sooner or later will come back again. What I used to do in the early days with Francis (Lucille), if I had a question, I would sit on it for two or three days, and I would really refine it so that when I asked it, it was one or two sentences. There’s a real art to asking a question. And the more clearly and succinctly your question is formulated, the more likely you are to get a satisfactory answer. Only ask the questions that remain with you for a few days, or those really deep questions that won’t leave you alone.’
