Subject: [Oe List ...] 144s, etc, and the May Archives event
Herman's comments (see below) about pulling together our wisdom strikes a
cord with me.
As you know, the month of May is a time we have dedicated to work on the
Archives at 4750 in Chicago. That is when we hope to have groups of people
working each week. This will involve sorting, ordering, and transferring
materials to new space on the sixth floor. It also will be a time of
eliminating duplications and identifying gaps so that we can actively seeks
to fill them from the countless personal files people have around the world.
Beyond these tasks, we will have an invigorating community life in the
evenings of good conversation and celebration. It strikes me that this could
also be an excellent time to push Herman's idea down the road: what would
be involved? what practical form would it take? how can it be a collective
effort? what are the practical opportunities for anyone, wherever in the
world they might be, to contribute to the process? A model needs to be
built. While we certainly don't have to wait until May to start building it,
it does seem to me that the gathered physical energy that will be present
during that month could do some work on it ... as well as dealing with the
important job related to pieces of papers.
Think about. I also urge you all to think about coming and spending a week
during May in Chicago. We are in the final stages for renovating the rooms
on the eighth floor with new floors, painted walls, new bedroom furniture,
new bathroom fixtures (all to host the 40 people coming at the end of March
for the International Initiatives Think Tank). The Archives volunteer
coordination team of Marge Philbrook, Pam Bergdall, and Rosemary Albright
will soon be sending out additional details about May activities. As you
hear more about these, please consider being a part of it.

They have been useful in community organizing, but not the easiest thing for
me to remember.. Alas, I no longer have the LCX "tertiary" books--when I
finally internalized them and then moved, they went to the land fill.

how I remember it. I guess we could ask Fred or David which of them gave
it. The lectures of S70 when printed did not have the names of who gave
them on them.

he could someday find himself on a deserted island and that the person up
front could be his only collegue.

mountain and sea). The NRM charts were the work of 1968, but may have begun
in 67 or even earlier. They were the foundation to the Odyssey, the first
of which was held in the South side RH in Chicago. I was in that first
event, taught by Fishel and Hess among others. We didn't make and NSV
charts, but shortly thereafter we created the Social Process triangles. I
have several papers of talks by JWM on the relationship between the NRM and
NSV, but for me, the insight that has struck me is that the NSV is the NRM
and vice versa. They are two sides of the same coin, and it is a matter of
transparency from one to the other. I think the NRM 144's is perhaps the
best work we ever did and the talks of Summer 68 in the Great Hall (JWM did
three of them, Meditation, Poverty and Transparent Being) were awesome.
George West did Contemplation, Gene Marshall did Chastity and Fred Buss did
Prayer. Fred Hess did I believe Transparent Doing but I don't remember who
did Obedience and Transparent Knowing.

Where are the NSV charts?

I see that 16 boxes for each NRM chart x 9 charts = 144 boxes. Were the
144s the precursors to the NM charts? And when did they arise?

pushy in church retreats. In addition, for 40 years I've used the MCP
charts in an EI-created breviary. Each box in Meditation, for example, has
some prose attached to it. I got it sometime around 1970. Don't know who
put together the breviary, but I daily give thanks for the workshop, (task
force, PSU, whatever) that put it together.
