Questions Are Energy Transportation Capsules
Questions really aren’t passive. They are very much alive.
A well-formed question carries energy. It has tension points seeking resolution. It can activate, inspire, and empower people to take on things they never had before. And when applied to the problems that matter most — personal, professional, or systemic — it can set in motion what nothing else has been able to move.
Forming the Right Question is an Art & a Science
Most of us have never learned about this important life skillset. We ask questions casually, habitually, without considering that the way a question is formed determines whether it opens new territory or keeps us circling the same ground.
There is a 42 year story behind this short video. One question — asked decades ago, carried across the world, and only now arriving at its first real possibility of delivery. Kim shares what that question was in this video.
Find out why learning to form a question to solve any problem may be one of the most powerful and underestimated skills available to any of us.

Forming the Question
The next part of what I’m going to talk to you about in this other section called Forming the Question is such an interesting area. It’s so interesting. The ramifications for learning how to form the right questions to help solve problems — yours or other people’s, or systemic problems — is incredible. This is a science and an art.
I’ve had the good pleasure of being in this realm for forty years. Literally forty years. I’ve been fascinated with the area of Solution Delivery. I’ve been fascinated why certain problems can’t be solved sooner. I see not only possibility, I see the agency of causality being totally doable.
And through my lifetime, my father taught me how to ask questions. He was a very inquisitive man. And I fell in love with inquiry. I fell in love with asking questions. But what I learned to do early in my life, through doing it and doing it, is learning how to formulate the questions. And what I discovered is that forming a question is doable, is transmittable, is teachable, and is deployable — because questions are not inactive. They’re not passive, they’re active, they’re dynamic, they have energy in them. They’re not mute, they’re not dead, they’re not just things, they’re not just particles. They’re charged particles.
In a question where you have two tension points or three tension points — whatever the tension points are — that are seeking resolution in time and space.
Questions are alive. And questions, when formulated well, can activate people, can inspire people, can empower people to do and say and take on things they never had before. Questions, and learning how to ask them and formulate them, are a key to solving all of our problems on earth from this and future generations.
I spent so many years asking questions — not only in my show It’s Rainmaking Time, but asking questions. I asked a question so many years ago, and it took me all over the world. I’ve spent, I don’t know, about forty-two years of my life on it. And only now at this time in history is there a potential to bring this through. First time.
Not easily, but it’s the first time. And the question that I asked, and I sat with, and I shared with others is:
What would it take to deliver a critical mass of solutions and discoveries that would benefit humankind in this and future generations?
If you would like to book an appointment with me about how to formulate questions that get things to move, please book your appointment. Thank you very much.
