In addition to the type of questions, one's motive in the questioning process itself seems to be of paramount importance. How for instance does my question serve humanity and its present needs. How does my question facilitate my movement from this is "what I believe"to " this what I do": ...ye may be free to ask what you need to ask, but not such idle questions as those on which the men of former times were wont to dwell. Fear God, and be ye of the righteous! Ask ye that which shall be of profit to you in the Cause of God and His dominion, for the portals of His tender compassion have been opened before all who dwell in heaven and on earth. (Baha'u'llah) Dear Geoff,
