: For those for whom cultivation does not
: address a conscious need, not cultivating is
: equally a good thing.

I agree with most of what you said, Steve, but I still think........

Everyone is cultivating in some way or another. Some people cultivate themselves better by jumping right into the experience and watching where the chips fall. Others close themselves off by sitting alone and emptying their minds.

Maybe the use of the word "cultivation" is causing problems? Is meditation the only means of cultivation? Does anyone not-cultivate?
