Complementary kinds of questions need to be formulated, asked, and responded to: 1. How valuable/helpful are they to each different person? Maybe words other than "valuable" and "helpful" need to be used here as well. 2. Are they valuable/helpful in different "ways" to different people; not just to different "degrees"? 3. Do they "contain" that which is valuable and/or helpful; or do they point-to or call-attention-to that which is valuable and/or helpful? 4. Can people be "in control of" some of the realities being considered here; all of them; none of them? 5. Must there be proper "authorities" in charge of the use of the realities being considered here; to be sure that they are not "improperly used" or "abused"? Who is to say who such "authorities" should be? 6. Given the records we have about major religious teachers who have founded and guided the development of the major religious traditions within "Spaceship Earth"; what do those records suggest might have been the responses of such persons to the above questions? What additional questions and suggestions might they have to offer? 7. Are complementary people likely to respond in different ways to the above questions --- depending upon how preoccupied they are with issues of: control, domination, authority, exclusivity, dichotomization, etc? 8. What kinds of people do (or will) want to be in control of how other people respond to the above kinds of questions? Why? For any good reasons? For any reasons which should NOT be honored, respected and/or supported? Who is qualified to say without serious bias? (c) 2005 by Paul A.
