Turn and be turned
We cannot get control over this thing called spirit, called conversation. We can only meet and be met, turn and be turned.

Process is world of It
Buber, I and Thou, p 54 equates process with unlimited causality, and therefore, by the logic on p 51, equates it with the world of It.

Doomed to never be conversation
Causality, and so teleology (and so goals), are of the world of It, so that “conversation” which sets out to bring about an outcome is doomed to never be conversation. It will only be a bargain and a price paid or demanded. Conversation is never guaranteed. Conversation is when Thou meets Thou. See also Buber, I and Thou, p 51.
