Can I know myself solely by asking internal questions?

Answer 1

No, you need to interact with others in order to learn how you interact with others.

Answer 2

No not completely. TAcording to the ancient Vedic wisdom, the way to actual self realization is to approach a bonafide spiritual master who has seen the Absolute Truth, render service unto him and inquire from him submissively. In this way one can understand who they are in reality. Here is some basic wisdom about who you are disseminated from the self realized souls.
We are not this material body, IE; Race, color, nationality, Religion, mind, intellect, senses, job, etc. We are all eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. We never die, only this mortal body dies.
This material world is not our real home, it is called Maya (illusion) and is temporary and full of misery, only one fourth of the souls come here, and the rest are enjoying blissful eternal loving relationships with our Maker named above. Those who are intelligent, take up the process of self realization (Bhakti Yoga) which gives one real peace, happiness and reality. Then at the end of life they can return to the eternal Kingdom where there is no more birth, death, old age, or disease and be eternally happy. I am so glad I know who I am now.

Answer 3

Yes, but the process is often simpler: allowing Light of Presence of God to abide. This in-sight in-forms the quest.

As another answerer remarked, "asking" is sincere, else somewhat more superficial.

You might look at "Climb the Highest Mountain," Mark Prophet, as it deals with climbing one's own ladder of awareness; "The Way of Inner Vigilance," Salim Michael, as a type of inner sensibiltiy; "To Live Within," Lizelle Reymond, which Jacob Needleman characterized as bringing a new way of knowing to our civilization; "Watch Your Dreams," Ann Ree Colton, dreams being a good portal to Self; "The Master of Lucid Dreams," Dr. Olga Kharitidi, "Light Is a Living Spirit," "Man, Master of His Destiny," and "A Philosophy of Universality," "The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?", Free and Wilcock, http://www.divinecosmos.com O. M. Aivanhov; "Long Pilgrimage," John G. Bennett, and "Expecting Adam," Martha Beck.

Answer 4

No, but by working on some task. Wow then you get to know yourself pretty well and pretty quickly. You will realise if you are lazy, focused, joyful etc.
Then another way to know yourself well is to be in any kind of close relationship with somebody. Then you will get mirrored how you are and you also will learn a lot.-:)

Answer 5

You can know yourself by contemplating internal questions, just asking them isn't enough. And you better dig really deep and not opt for the easy way out.

Answer 6

i would say no, it takes interacting with the world, actually putting your concepts into action, for anyone to truly know theirselves
when you do that, you will learn the dimensions of yourself,
you may tell yourself your kind, but until you have opportunity to test that out, you will not know that you are kind sometimes, sometimes not, or that certain situations bring this out in you, others push it down

Answer 7

You are yourself. There is no question in that.

The quality of who you are is decided by your actions, and what meaning is assigned to those actions by yourself and others.

Internal questions are often good for nothing more than planning and entertainment, in my personal opinion.

Answer 8

Wouldn't that be wonderful if it were true? Unfortunately, we deceive ourselves all too easily, we rationalize our shortcomings, we fail to see what others see. There is what we know about ourselves that others know, what we know about ourselves that others do not know, what others don't know about us and what we don't know either, and what others know about us that we don't know. That last one - I hate when that happens.

Answer 9

no, because you will never get the answers.

Answer 10

No.
