[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] ICA-USA

[Lifeline248 at aol.com]

Good Word, Jack.   
    But what about access to decades of Good Work flowing from that Word, now 
out of reach and deteriorating in the basement of the Kemper Building?   
    Those boxes contain the Living Legacy of an aging population, many of 
whom spent a lifetime spreading that Word.  Yes, we believe in the Word of 
Possiblity; and no, it's not for us that they must be preserved.  Coming 
generations, the Next GenerationS, need that Wisdom on paper.   
    I don't understand the lack of collegial responsibility and just plain 
logic that seem to be at the base of the Board's decisions and, sadly, behind 
our choosing to submit, consciously or not, to the defiance manifest on the part 
of those Gate-Keepers.   It makes absolutely no sense to me. Please correct 
me if I'm overstating the case.   
    I'm taking the initiative to send this to the OE listserve too and adding 
your e-mail just in case it didn't get automatically appended when I hit 
Reply.
Grace, Peace, and Love,

Dear Colleagues,

I have watched the list serve messages about the ICA include 
embittered attacks on the Board and I am saddened by it.  It is not 
surprising in the light of the reality that the literally thousands 
of us who both received our life (via RS-1) and gave our lives in the 
Spirit Movement have both a profound sadness and an anger about the 
fact that what we did and what we were/are and what we dreamed about 
putting into history seems to have been dismissed as irrelevant, or 
not to be included.  To me, the Living Legacy event is but a shadow 
of what is really the living legacy, and that is the thousands of us 
who are still giving our lives to make the world responsive to the 
Lord of History, if I can use that language.  Be that as it may, it 
serves no purpose, in my mind, to continue to castigate the Board.  
Their deeds and decisions will be judged by the Lord of history just 
as the deeds and decisions of the rest of us.  If they can bring into 
being something new and great, in the name of ICA, then so be it.  It 
would be appropriate for all of us to pray that they do.  They have 
to live with the reality of how people were treated and we can decide 
to say no (or yes) to what they have done, and move on.  It does them 
and us no good, in my opinion, to vilify their motives or intents.   
Please, let it be, and let us continue to keep our faces and hearts 
moving toward the future.  It needs all of us, and it will take all 
of us and many many more the rest of lives.  So let's get on with it.

With respect and love to all of my fellow Order/Movement members.

Jack Gilles
