[Dialogue] A Great Life Completed

[PSchrijnen at aol.com]

The qualities of John Rupert Barnes were clear to me long before 9/11. But  
on that day they took another turn. 
 
The year before, in the summer of 2000 we had met at the order reunion  in 
Vail. We exchanged bits of news and in the conversation I told him that  before 
going back to London I had some meetings in Wallstreet. He advised me not  to 
go there. This surprised me. He went on to say that he had been exploring  
both meditation and his ability to empathise. He had been meditating on Bin  
Laden. In those meditations he had come across Bin Laden's desire to bomb  lower 
Manhattan. Being both of a man of this and the other world, he advised me  that 
hence it would be unwise for me to go to lower Manhattan in early  August 
2000. I told John Rupert I would be fine, that I had a fine place to  stay, and 
that I am sure Mr Bin Laden would find something else today. I stayed  at a 
hotel next to the World Trade Centre, and I didn't think anymore about John  
Ruperts advice. The rest you know. 
 
A uniquely sensitive spirit man he was. In so many ways.
 
Paul
