Hello!
Yes, you have heard from me before. I have posted 7 or 8 questions already. And each time I have pressed through some resistance in order to post my opening question.

I have just gone through several rounds of questions and anwers with Gennaro and jj, under Amplitude and Force. Since Gennaro did not understand my initial question he asked for further clarification. Finally, I had something to respond to. I rephrased the question in a way that was much clearer and both Gennaro and jj were able to add valuable information. Over all this has been a deeply satisfying exchange.

This leads me to ask the question, "Is the forum an appropriate venue for a non-initiator/responder?"

Does anyone have any suggestions for making the forum a healthier learning tool for non-initiators?

Responding to nothing

This is a very important question, and the survivial of the Forum depends on this being resolved.

From time to time I have been tempted to be confrontational so that there is something to respond to. Some of those attempts backfired miserably.

When someone does post, I can feel the silence where they would like someone to say uhuh, or that meant something for me too, that was valuable.

Often wisdom comes from the mouths of fools and babes, and some of us may get tongue-tied with all our earnest refusal to initiate. Ra says the strategy is only for important decisions. And sometimes it is nice to taste the mechanism You initiate, against your strategy. It goes wrong. Now you can respond to it going wrong. I think that is how the whole universe started actually.

Is that a thought for you? I tell you, that is not for me. Enjoy the taste, I know there is someone out there who found that throw away delicious. And already we are playing tennis.

Since almost 90 % of the population is not here to iniciate then the forum would be a big failure if it did not cater to that crowd! The process you describe is very similar to many of my experiences. It is a clumsy back and forth where eventually you get the thing that allows you to respond correctly. A bit like sifting through coal for that diamond. In that sense the forum is great because it is a back and forth, an ongoing discussion where you can always go back and say, "that's actually not what I wanted to ask, even though I didn't know it at the time, but what you just said has braught up something else in me..." and so it goes.

If you have an open head center, then a lot of your questions don't really need to be answered. But then again, the answers might be useful for another person. This and that of the mind.
I think that if you live your design you don't need to know any of the stuff we discuss in the forum. But the irony is that your mind will not let you live your design unless it is happy with the theories. Thus you find yourself back at the forum hashing out the theories. If this sounds a bit circular, it is. It's the search for the golden grail : you have to travel around the world to discover it was right under your doorstep.

The million dollar question for a generator is : "What is response?" If I write a post, is it a response to something in my life or am I iniciating? And that is your question, I think. My answer is to do your best. :)
Write the posts that really feel like they are coming from response and don't write the others. If in three days you still have a question, then write it. But either way don't take it too seriously. We all have third lines in our charts and we can all benefit from making mistakes. The only way I found how to live my design was by not living it. It was a process of elimination: "Well that sure didn't work, what about this..."
This is especially true at the begining.
Thanks for your posts.
