[Oe List ...] a new religious mode

[Thomas Morrison]

Hi everyone,

I still use the NRM 3x3 chart for my daily devotions (actually individual 
pages for each cell of, say, Knowing--all in a red ring binder; got them 
around 1971 I think).

Anyone still using them too?

Been thinking the same thing.... and another colleague just sent me these
quotes today:

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood
and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the
endless immensity of the sea."
- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

"Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to
or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply
interconnected with one another.  Working on our own consciousness is the
most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is a
supreme creative act."
- Ram Dass

I wonder, just what is the 'New Religious Mode' today? And where do we see
it emerging in ourselves or others?

Herman,

This article is fantastic!  It's if for the first time the
contradiction is named (for me) and we can see what needs to really
happen.  No longer am I distraught over the loss of the "public
option".   It is not addressing the contradiction.  What it does
clarify for me is something that I have brooding about throughout all
these emails zinging back and forth.  Why aren't we remembering our
own deep and profound insight that there will be no New Social Vehicle
without a New Religious Mode?  I find this article not only says that,
but points out what areas we need to work in to make it happen.  And
his words that as of now, that possibility is becoming less not more
prevalent is sobering.  I personally feel that this thinking and
action is what we need to focus on, not just our method for coming up
with an analysis and plan (ToPs Methods).  Anyway, thanks for bringing
this to our attention and I hope everyone will read it.

Grace & Peace,

Jack
