This is how human thought and science have developed throughout history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of that, <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2010\/12\/you-cant-multi-task-so-stop-tr\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2010\/12\/you-cant-multi-task-so-stop-tr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to science, your mind can\u2019t multitask<\/a>. It can only focus on one task at a time. So when you ask a question, it can\u2019t think of anything else but find the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The human mind is a spark of the almighty consciousness of God. I could show you that whatever your powerful mind believes very intensely would instantly come to pass.<\/p>\n<cite>\u2015 Paramahansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of your mind as a garden. Your habitual thinking is the seed of thoughts you plant, and then you reap its fruits in your body and the environment around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what you reap is what you plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike your conscious mind, you can\u2019t directly access your subconsciousness. But you can tap into it when you are in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Altered states of consciousness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hypnagogic and hypnopompic states<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dream states<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lofty questions are best used in transitional states of consciousness, such as the hypnagogic state (before you fall asleep) and the hypnopompic state (before you wake up).&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all pass through these transitions twice a day without knowing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So why not take advantage of them to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/how-to-reprogram-your-subconscious-mind\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/how-to-reprogram-your-subconscious-mind\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reprogram your subconscious mind<\/a> intentionally to your benefit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And lofty questions help you do just that\u2014they implant powerful questions into your mind, prompting it to find the answers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-lofty-questions-vs-affirmations\">The lofty questions vs. affirmations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How are they different from <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/positive-affirmations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">positive affirmations<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Affirmation is a clear, definitive statement you make about yourself as if it is already true. In other words, you repeat these affirmations until they become part of your belief system, and your subconscious mind acts in accordance with the newly implanted belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But here\u2019s the trick:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your subconscious mind is much more powerful than your conscious intention to rewire it. Often, people don\u2019t believe what they are affirming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vishen, founder of Mindvalley and author of <em>The 6 Phase Meditation Method<\/em>, explains there are three essential components to bending reality: desire, belief, and expectancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWith desire, belief, and expectancy, your mind can be so powerful that it can literally bring wonderful events to bear within days,<\/em>\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So even with a burning desire to change your reality, you can&#8217;t expect it to happen if you don\u2019t believe you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why affirmations don\u2019t work with some people because their desire isn\u2019t paired with belief and expectancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike affirmations, lofty questions bypass your subconscious beliefs about yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lofty questions trick your mind into seeking the answer when you ask yourself a question.<\/p>\n<cite>\u2015 Vishen, founder of Mindvalley and author of The 6 Phase Meditation Method<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-benefits-of-using-the-framework-of-the-lofty-questions\">Benefits of using the framework of the lofty questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you ask a question, you automatically expect to receive the answer.
