Hey Bhav!<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Here's Bhav's question in brief: Do western style questions work in
every culture as an approach?<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
Harold<br>
<br>
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.<br>
