Experimentation

Experimentation is not the same as making mistakes or permission to make mistakes.

Before experimentation begins there is a pressing idea of a possibility. This does not allow one either to set it aside or just to discuss it. It initiates action.

This action is accompanied by keen observation; of the action itself and all the consequences, internal and external, material and spiritual that happen to take place. All this is meticulously noted, mentally and on paper. Finally it is shared with others who are also into experimentation.

This last part, sharing makes the learning a self perpetuating spiral.
