I think I am ti...Thanks, Susan! I stand corrected.<br /><br />I think I am tired of them because I have way too often seen people claim that they are using hte "Ruhi method" when all they are doing is asking those "level 1" questions that we have all been using for over 100 years.<br /><br />And yes, I, too, hope that your guide (which is fairly comprehensive in its level 1 questions) will lead people on to the deeper questions about application and implication.<br /><br />Lotsa love to you,<br /><br />MeadMeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046847133963919765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1734645058271734681.post-23147649381107532512014-04-23T17:41:24.192-07:002014-04-23T17:41:24.192-07:00As one of those who have put together a study guid...As one of those who have put together a study guide such as the ones you disparage ! :-) . . . http://susangammage.com/a-study-guide-for-the-2014-ridvan-message<br /><br />I wish to speak in my own defense! <br /><br />Breaking it up the way I did allowed me to really understand what was being said in a more specific way; similar to the first level questions asked in Ruhi book one, where the answer to the question can be found in the quote. It's a powerful technique which teaches the skill of turning to the Writings to find the answer - a skill which still seems to be lacking in our community (at least as evidenced in the various forums I look at from time to time, where personal opinions, not backed up by quotes are the norm). <br /><br />Knowing that every community is different, I imagined that tutors or those facilitating discussion on these questions would come up with second level (applying it to daily life) and third level questions (implications for situations with no apparent or immediate connection), as defined by Ruhi Book 1. <br /><br />Susan Gammagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15235400088416854614noreply@blogger.com
