Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

You don't know?

who cares about relationship? There is none. It is a different thing. The free has no relation.

Then why are you bringing it up?! To me, it means very little, because it is one way.

Ah no, without relationship, in isolation, there is no learning. The trouble is, when you are free, relationship is also free.

There is no learning if one is not free, so to speak: only 'after'. But relationship doesn't exist, at any stage.

  You are talking about something else: learning from a LACK OF RELATIONSHIP-that's the actual fact: the mirror of a lack of relationship.

OK, when you don't know you are doing, you just do, without pretension. The rain does not ask why it rains.

Who's forcing whom? You didn't answer that.

  Who's pretending what? You asked a question, which was answered, that is not pretention. But because another answer was expected, you called it pretension. In fact, I wrote a different answer at first, then deleted it: it would've been pretension to say this mind doesn't ask that question, and the only thing it knows is that is not 'not-free'.

  Because freedom exists, why pretend it doesn't?

Not at all. Not at all. One is not concerned at all if whatever one is doing is right, without looking back, without carrying along. It is just right. That is free.

So, are we free from all those, and have a no direction conversation?
You said in total freedom from begining, there is new learning, is it right?

A conversation without direction? I don't know about that: the danger is that it could degenerate in non-sense.
