[OSList] Questioning Questioning

[Harold Shinsato via OSList]

Hey Bhav!

It sounds like you've started an interesting inquiry around inquiry 
itself. I'd like to open space for your answers as well as the other 
responses from Harrison & Michael P. - so we (and all the elders) can 
best "sit" the question.

Here's Bhav's question in brief: Do western style questions work in 
every culture as an approach?

I'll open it a bit more: What culture assumptions do we bring to our 
requests, inquests, inquiry, 'quest'ions, that might help or hinder the 
authentic opening of space?

     Harold

P.S. Of course I remember you Bhav. I remembered you before I met you - 
as your influence preceded your presence at least in my 
time-space-continuum. Thanks for reentering it here on the OSList.
