The answer does not exist without the question

"The answer does not exist without the question". This is an interesting idea. It is in my view essentially true of all things. Now I am not saying that the question must come first, only that they both co-exist, they both are independent of each other as well as tied to each other. They exists as both the individual and the collective at the same time. This is a universal phenomena, all things have an individual aspect and a collective aspect.

There cannot be oneness without individuality. One owes it existence to the other. Duality and non-duality are another way of expressing this concept. One is can only exist with reference to the other. I personally prefer the expression of the individual and the collective. The answer and the question together form a collective but still have individual existence contained within the collective.

My body had individual systems, the systems have individual organs, my organs have individual cells and so on, this is in my own small universe within. I exist as an individual person, in my family, in my city, in my country, on this planet, in this solar system and so on in the universe outside.

At all times we are all individuals and together as a greater collective. At all levels.

Thank You
