Qurery - required?

FC is all knowing. It encompasses everything. It can only be experienced and not known intellectually. So, is the process of raising questions required?
Ans. Right. FC encompasses all there is. But for the process of birth, it does limit its all encompassing knowledge. It has a set of derived experiences. If we let ourselves just flow with these experiences and consider them as everything, then we get away considerably from reality and build illusionary realities for ourselves. We forget that soul is just a vessel carrying experiences and body is the meduim. If body and outer world are only considered as 'what is', our journey gets tiring and bulky. So, if we raise queries, we do get answers from our deepest aspects and we are, to a large extent, avoided from the trouble of getting astray and remain at par with intended 'what is' (ie the intent of the consiousness. Also, this is an effective method of opening up communication with our deepest aspects. Can't comment on whether or not it takes one to self realization, but it does help from getting astray and looking for external support.
Note: Prior to writing this note down, in the morning I was having a feeling that I will all together give up asking questions and accept life as it is and as it comes. Happened to pass by a butcher shop and he was beheading a hen. Felt repulsive and bad. Was grief stricken for the hen as it was crying for its life. Had a feeling that throughout the day, I'll not be able to get normal perhaps as the sight is a real pity. Must have been in this state for about half an hour. Then a query came to my mind: Have I seen the sight? Could I alter it? Why is the butcher slitting the hen's head? What is causing this disgusting feelings in me?
I got my answers: I can't change the sight of seeing the hen cry with pain and neither can I alter it as the law of demand and supply is operating. People consuming the hen like food will relish it and that's why butcher is chopping off its head. Even if I take this particular hen home, there are so many others being bred for this specific purpose. So, the butcher is right. But its a sorry sight seeing the hen like this. These thoughts are being aggravated by astral forces (to this intensity). So, I'd better proceed with other tasks and let go off this thought.
