[Oe List ...] Trying Hard To Get Real -- about the ICA

[William Alerding]

David,

	What would you say is the MISSION of ICA today? Has it been clear to 
everybody? When the Panjayat called the Order out of being back in the 
1980's, ICA became a shell. Many of us no longer felt united in a 
corporate mission. There was no authentic leadership to lead. Without a 
community and without leadership focused on a mission, what was left 
was a group that did interesting projects. This allows the demon of the 
economic to rule. We used to focus on the MISSION and let the economic 
be handled  but not to rule our lives. The trouble with letting the 
economic rule, is that the corporate business community  lives on an 
I-It relationship. We lost the I-You relationship that Goleman talks 
about in his new book, Social Intelligence. The business world knows 
how to downsize people, but it doesn't act out of empathy. The Order 
knew about empathy.

Just some rambling, irrational thoughts.
