Why do we often ask how, and not why?

[adraw]

I recently came to realisation, that lucid dreaming is directly dependent on motivation. But also found myself in search for techniques and methods. But actually: Isnt it more important to ask why and not how?

[Mes Tarrant]

I'm not sure what you mean...

[adraw]

np. It has too much information with to few words. It was just a reminder not to forget to remember why we actually started learning lucid dreaming.

Oh that's easy. I don't think it's something we forget. I think we're reminded of it every time we practice it.

Everyone has their own reasons for why. It's just an amazing experience for the most part. They already know why. It's like trying to acheive a goal and constantly asking why you're trying to acheive it. It might be encouraging, but how is the actual method of coming to the why.

Why not?

What is the method of comming to the why? ... Pretty interesting sentence. And it fully expresses the state i wanted to talk about. What makes us actually want methods, for things, that should be as simple as motivation. That is the purpose of this thread. Why do we actually want answers formulated in techniques and methods? /--- Why do we often ask how and not why.... And that would be also the clarification for you : Mas Terrant

What if you always try, but you feel you are not making progress, becouse you actually dont want it? What then? Sometimes it happens, that pure motivation comes into background and the essence of progress is lost that way. I think, thats the time to ask why. And even better why not ... .
