This feels like a big question to me. Thank you for asking it.
The belief that has formed itself in me is that there is a light that
clothes itself in nature. Some people call it God. Some the Tao. Some
Spirit. Some Allah. Some Brahman. Some Jehovah. Some have no name for
this light. I personally do not believe it has a name, because whatever
people say about it only ends up in paradox at best. Our human tendency to
name things seems to draw us to seek to name what is beyond names.
I can't say I always use this light to find my way in the world of
information, but it is the light I seek to learn to use.
What makes your question so real for me is that I usually have my EYES
CLOSED. I have been told that the one-eyed cannot be trusted so I have
many scars, walk nervously and carry a long stick ;-).
In my view this is the hope for learning organizations...
So someone might to mention that after a successful eye opening experiment
the light will hurt for a while because I am used to having my eyes shut .
So I don't just shut them again and think this eye opening business is not
for me.
So someone might mention that it must always be taken into account in the
stories of those who claim to have their eyes open that they were standing
somewhere else, so whatever they could see won't tell me much how to move
from where I am. I will find this out only by learning to open my own
eyes.
So someone might mention that people who are willing to share their own
learning about how to open their eyes make good company when you are
looking for a little light on how to do the same.
Warm regards
Mark
