The more
we could do
is so large

:- Doug.

I’m on a search for the true element of the human spirit now readying—in each person, and all, and you.

:- Doug.

iPad, iPod, iPhone:
iSpend, iSpend, iSpend

:- Doug.

What is the true element of the human spirit now readying? Who will touch it off?

:- Doug.

To dilute power
say more

:- Doug.

For deepening of conversation
Is no how only do

:- Doug.

You live life at your speed, I’ll live at mine. But if we have not tried both, how do we know?

:- Doug.

There is more here.

:- Doug.

We are creating betweens. Another word for betweens is spirit. Risking, Inventing, Claiming, Holy spacing.

:- Doug.

Maybe “God” is the window through which we see and meet the world.

:- Doug.

Pain I can stand: what I want to avoid is suffering. So you may love me well it is suffering I must for you define.

:- Doug.

Participate, with: words that in practice are much more than in mental concept. This is crossing the frontier into the greater, the larger sphere.

:- Doug.

Discovering
our undiscovered
we find
our truest being
in being-with

:- Doug.

Sometimes we do not feel like conversing. Sometimes nothing comes to mind. In these cases go to our early training—to answer questions, always to answer questions of our teachers and parents. And deeper into our unconscious: relate stories. These prime the pump.

:- Doug.

Is it possible that OST : Control :: Thou : It? Self organization : management :: Spirit : Rationality? Community disorganizing : City Hall :: The All There Is : $ & #?

The It is in the Thou, the Control is in OST, the management is in self organization and community disorganizing, the rationality is in Spirit and The All There Is.

The smaller however, wishes the world to think it is the larger, in control, and the $ & # are the most important things in the cosmos.

:- Doug.

G*d is about

:- Doug.

Must we limit G*d
to above
rather than all about?

:- Doug.

We are not only about the larger, only the oceanic. We must bring this to the object-world, we must let it guide what we do with the objects of our lives. We must be aware of and use logic and rationality, but these as servants, held in the lap of the larger. The larger is the rights, the freedom, the living, the spirit of our friends and their families. But we must step always to the threshold of this larger to get our direction, our reason for being.

:- Doug.

Buber tells me we cannot live entirely in the You-world, but must let it guide, be the life of, the It-world. I see we need both, but we easily get distracted by the It-world. We want to have it all figured out, we want it under our control. Yet freedom is in the very lack of control, in meeting a You which requires its own freedom.

:- Doug.

There is no one right way to do the conversation: there are a thousand right ways. & we need to hear from our fellows—you!—we are doing it aright.

:- Doug.

Why is memory so important to us? Knowledge? Why is it more important than now? Are we ever again who we were?

:- Doug.

Our clients will try to avoid the conversation, the stay surface level, so we must then go deep. So go deep today.

:- Doug.
