"Asking" - Part 1
       
      We've forgotten how to ask. We have become afraid to ask - simply to ask. 
      We attempt to ask with manipulation, with anger, with using pain, with 
      tiredness, with tears, with desperation. We think we need these things in
      order to ask. Asking has become very confused. But, asking with any of 
      these things is not asking. There is asking and there is all the stuff
      we bring into the asking. Let us not confuse the two. Our real asking
      is always quite simple. The stuff we bring into the asking makes it
      seem quite complicated.

      So, for the moment, we will simply use this reminder: Asking over here,
      stuff over there. We will go to the heart of the real asking by laying
      our fears and conditions aside. It is not that we deny the "stuff"
      that has been attached to our asking, we can examine it later. It is
      to see that asking is not connected to all the "stuff" and the
      commotions we bring into it. We have forgotten how to ask, period.
      Almost all our asking has a charge to it. Let us put aside everything
      but the real asking. Only when the real asking is heard are we ready to 
      look at all the extraneous conditions that have been attached to all
      our asking. It is by seeing that our "stuff" has nothing to do
      with our asking that we are finally ready to be free to ask.

      So we begin by saying to you: Stuff over there, and we will get to it
      in a while. Together, let us have a look at asking.

      For your consideration,
