In the movie Family Man, Jack Campbell is shown a glimpse of an alternate universe in order to learn a lesson.
Have you considered; an unasked question can take us into an alternative universe? Either because of our assumptions/stories or our fear of asking a question, we end up being somewhere or thinking something we didn’t intend.
Recently Barbara was sharing with me an experience she had telling Monica about a situation that had been going on in Barbara’s life for a number of years. After about 15 minutes of sharing, Monica said she knew the solution to the situation for Barbara. Monica had not asked any questions, only listened to the sharing for 15 minutes and came to a conclusion about the actions Barbara should take.
