The magic is among us. The imminent, the forgotten: one. The magic is between us, released when we bump.

:- Doug.

Fission and fusion: we can release energy either by splitting or by bringing together, but the larger energy is in bringing together.

Of course it makes sense: we are bringing the energy of more than one to the scene. But it is more energy than we thought they contained: how is that possible?

:- Doug.

There is a magic here that exceeds the logical, rational, this-will-bring-people-together kind of arguing: it is releasing the power of human fusion. It releases people. It unleashes people.

That is probably a good metaphor, for we so often try to leash people to our tasks and no more, when the more they could do is so large.

:- Doug.

My one thing is conversing and in that divinity.

:- Doug.

G*d meeting

:- Doug.

This is the work
Persons meeting persons
and in here
the divine

:- Doug.

G*d is distributed but not diffuse.

Hello Climate Spacers!

Our next Climate Space Skype conference will be Tuesday, April 21, 2009, 6:30 pm New York Time. To convert this to your local time, go here: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

In this call we will address these questions:

1. How do we collect information on what we are doing around the world?
2. How do we organize it in a useful form?
3. Where all can we post this information so that it will be on many climate action Websites and elsewhere?
4. What filter are we looking through?

If you have not already, please be sure to email me your Skype name so you can be included in the call. My skype name is douglasgermann in case we get disconnected.

Looking forward to our call.

Questions? email me at 76066 [dot ] 515 [aT] CompuServe [ dot ] com.

:- Doug.

PS: The key to these local conversations we are hoping to engender all around the world is opportunities: seeking out and inventing ways to make social and economic opportunities out of the climate crisis.

Whom else can you invite to this Skype call?

:- Doug.

When you are seeking to help another you are lifting yourself.

:- Doug.

Offer and invitation: there is nothing else. In a verb-al, adjectival world, the world offers to us, and we can accept or not; still it is our duty to offer our own invitations, else we have not fulfilled our purpose. We have something to give; we have something to receive. We are not complete without both. This it seems to me is the essence of love.

There are offers all around us every instant. We have only to open our spirits. There are offers in us and we were too timid. But from hear on, from now on, we invite. Yes, and….

:- Doug.

G*d is the seeker
G*d is the lover

:- Doug.

Count on inherent
organization, coming-together
(is this love?)

:- Doug.

Since the world is self-organizing, what then are we to do?

:- Doug.

Footprints in the Wind^sm # 947

We are entangled together, and cannot separate ourselves if we try.

We are changing the world, and cannot stop our effect if we try. The question is, are we changing it for good or ill or just adding dead weight to what the others are doing?

The world is in process of self-organization, and we cannot stop that if we try. We can help it along.

Please pass it on.

Love
sends us not
out
but we are already
part
of the flow
the river is
every
drop

:- Doug.

We must be open to G*d
yet not passive

:- Doug.

Let us see what people can do
Let us see what people will do
This work is not allowed
Therefore it must be done

:- Doug.

Service: love. Unauthorized, for the king of ego will not allow. But the king of ego is mumbling and G*d pays no attention to the mumbles. Immediate: nothing in between. In the between: right here.

Singing: not understood by logic. Beyond rational. Joy! Fire! Shouting! Dancing!

Uncategorizable: no slots; making it out of new, making it all new.

:- Doug.

Not everyone will grasp what this is about: some have their heads turned a different direction, by different things. All I hope are able, but we choose different things, we allow ourselves to be pulled by different things. That is good when it is a matter of different ways of serving, but when it is the ego we are serving is when our eyes close. You cannot serve both G*d and ego.

G*d may then be called the egoless. Not solely that, but that is of G*d’s essence.

:- Doug.

What are you hearing? Whom?

:- Doug.

I will not sell
If you cannot see it
You cannot have it
Only will I sing

:- Doug.
