Calvino Rabeni's Homework Suggestions

The idea of homework is that one engages a particular theme in a constructive way, within one's own life and experience.  When I think of Ways of Knowing, the following topics come to mind. 

• Contemplation
• Embodied Ways of Knowing
• Personal Knowledge, Self-Knowledge, Personality and Character
• Personal Purpose and Motivation
  
• Keeping Commitment and Focus in Practice
• Help, in all its Guises
• Insight and Discernment
  
• Creativity, Imagination, and Intuition - "Imagination is the Gateway to Reality"
• Traditional metaphors for ways of knowing - Heart, Mind, Soul, etc.
  
• Knowledge and Knowing - especially, outside the constraints of Pattern and Information
• Levels and Contexts of Knowledge - e.g. personal, transpersonal, psychological, spiritual, etc.
  
• Cultural aspects of Knowledge - Evolution of Culture
• Communities of Practice; Sangha

That which oppresses me, is it my soul trying to come out in the open, or the soul of the world knocking at my heart for its entrance?
