Harold A few more questions ...
Warm wishes Paul Why are we still calling OST a technology ? Why is the LAW of two feel a law ? If the "principles" are not prescriptions but descriptions why are they called principles ? How can it possibly take 2 days to "teach" OST and why would anyone ever want to teach it anyway ? Why do OST "elders" on the OS list keep advocating dogmatic views about OST? (Oh yes you do) What if one less thing to do was facilitation ? How could OSI begin a humble inquiry into new and valuable ways of opening space? And learn from them ? What questions do we need to ask that cannot be formed into latinised words and phrases ? Where is open space technology when the world needs to open space most - right now ?
