More than security we want certainty. When we are feeling insecure, we want to make sure that our next step is on some certainty. Security is only an interim position: if we cannot have this certainty, then at least we can be secure: we can curl up into a fetal position and not go outside. So we need to experience certainty to be able to step into the world and the present.

:- Doug.
What we are doing with any local enlarged conversation is working on the sidereal scale: we are transforming humanity into something larger, different in kind not just size.
Different in nature. Touching something larger than one life, larger than a multiplicity of persons, of a new quality: whole, inclusive, working.

There is something among us that already lives. From this imaginal disc we grow.
