My present experience leads to constructing such a text as inquiry proceeds and evolves:
Topics will be selected as a natural falling out from types of questions. Questions can be arranged according to the topics.
- Questions from: my inquiries; student's inquiries at satsangs; recorded inquiries; texts.
- Answers: Teacher's at satsangs; teacher's recording; classic texts; my answers.
- Select eg 20, or 50 "classic" or common spiritual inquiries.
- List the source of inquiry - book, teacher, or me.
- State initial answer from book, recording, or other.
- State second answer from an authoritative source, eg classic text.
- The third answer, mine.
First steps: seeking questions from current material, including podast downloads, etc. Group questions according to broader categories. Match the answers.
Method: Use this blog, each post to present one question, with its three answers. Use the website to place the questions into categories and prepare to publish.
Project goal: 50 - 100 page text, 10 chapters/categories, 10-20 Qs/chapter? 6 months to 1 year?
References: The ones important to me; reader is challenged to find the answer from those important to him) Lankavatara, Nis, Ramana, Zen, etc; Adya, Gangaji, SMayi, Pamela, Bernie, Sherman, ?
