The document discusses principles of dialogue and deliberation. It emphasizes the importance of listening without resistance, reflecting on underlying assumptions, and creating space for respectful discussion of different opinions. The goal is to thoughtfully explore issues from multiple perspectives in order to generate new insights and pathways forward through cooperation rather than debate.

6. Simply be still. Listen from silence
within yourself, without resistance.
See the potential, participate
from the whole, stand at the hub.
Habits and opinions. Loosen
your grip – hold the lightning
Underscores – Participation Underscores – Coherence
Underscores – Unfoldment Underscores – Awareness
In speaking I am creating.
Courageous speech, into the void.

9. We see the nighttime world by
means of the light “carrying” the stars
to us, so this vast expanse of sky must
all be present in the light which passes
through the small hole of the pupil into
the eye.
The stars seen in the heavens
are all present in the light which
is at any eye-point, regardless of the
different locations of the viewers.
The totality is contained in each
small region of space.
