James,
It's 'fun' of you to start this thread.
I liked John's 'Merry Christmas' as part of it - as well as his
description.
My 1971 (was that more than 40 years ago?) Social Process document only
goes down to 'Reconstructed Universe'.
Where can I get the document that goes to the next level?
and 'Happy New Year',
Ken

triangle is common symbols process, lower right is social art process, lower

reconstructed universe process, lower left is shattering intrusion, lower right
is revised content, top is contentless context process . . .
Does this clarify?

Dear Jim and Paul,
Could we have meant the structure of a contentless process, which is only
informed by the participants responses?
Or could it have been talking about a state of Being, not Doing, or Knowing,
but Being... Contentlessness...not focused on the material, but on presence of
wonder itself.. not necessarily discontented or dissatisfied. Contentlessness
could be about the absence of noise and the bliss of silence.
The wonder of words and the reality of the situations in life creates the
context for the meaning of the words and how we use them. Our reflection gives
form to our understanding, and our understanding is how we live out the
meaning of our lives, in separation, in unity, in fullness and contentlessness.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanuka,
Evelyn Kurihara Philbrook

Dear Jim,
In meetings these days we refer to
balancing focus on content and process. Maybe 'contentless' has to do with
focusing on process: the way things are done rather than what is done. I
suspect it must have been more complicated than that....

Looking on the internet, it comes up as
Con`tent´less: Discontented; dissatisfied
What did we mean? What might be synonyms?

Hi Jack--
There is a tune, but
it's not written down. Our son, who is a musician, is visiting this
weekend and is going to write it down--can send it then. Til then it's
in my head and on tape...the tune is reminiscent of a madrigal melody.
It's part of series called New World Madrigals.
Grace and peace,
Ellie

Advent and Christmas blessings...
IN THE FULNESS OF EARTH’S TIME
In the fullness of earth’s time
In the silent desert night
Unfolds a rose and lifts its head
To the wonder of dawn’s light
Praising life’s strange plight
Creation’s timing is perfect
Its Mystery rebirth
In the stillness of earth’s space
In a crowded city place
Awakes a soul and lifts his head
To the wonder of his fate
Called to lead life’s race
Creation’s timing is perfect
Its chosenness rebirth
In the fullness of earth’s time
Across five thousand lands
Stretch the arms of woman and man
To build the earth again
Joined in life’s strange dance
Creation’s timing is perfect
Its Mystery rebirth
Creation’s timing is perfect
Its chosenness rebirth
