Over time I found that one of the most important things in any spiritual teaching for anybody is to have a really basic and simple understanding of that teaching. And the reason for that is because as one gets involved in a spiritual teaching, it's really easy to lose sight of the basics, or the foundations. View quote

At the end of the day, when you look back, no matter what you are, who you are and what you do, you'll always go back to the basics or the undeniable.

Stick with the basics, stick to what you're sure of, and stick to something that cannot be judged as being either false, ambitious or arrogant. View quote

I believe that some of the strongest stories we can have begin with very simple archetypes...The great mother, or the great father, for example. And you work your way from that, slowly, to more complexity. The idea of this guy who wants to be with the woman he loves – you can say the same of the movie Gladiator, for instance. If you strip everything down to the basics, it's just about Maximus wanting to go back to his wife and every other thing stopping him. Even Homer's Odyssey; he just wants to go back and the entire universe is conspiring against that ambition. View quote

In the development of intelligence nothing can be more "basic" than learning how to ask productive questions. Many years ago, in Teaching as a Subversive Activity, Charles Weingartner and I expressed our astonishment at the neglect shown in school toward this language art. ...The "back to the basics" philosophers rarely mention it, and practicing teachers usually do not find room for it in their curriculums. ...all our knowledge results from questions, which is another way of saying that question-asking is our most important intellectual tool... There are at present no reading tests anywhere that measure the ability of students to address probing questions to the particular texts they are reading... What students need to know are the rules of discourse which comprise the subject, and among the most central of such rules are those which govern what is and what is not a legitimate question.
