[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] What the heck did we mean with "Contentless"??

I also think of this in terms of event – an illusion shattering event may
have any content – what defines it is that it shattered an illusion.

With kindest regards.

We say that the method is contentless; so the focus is on process. That
makes sense.  

I think we can also legitimately say that the medium (method) is the
message.  It is the methodology that enables people to vision, discover and
come to terms with limits, act out of freedom and responsibility etc.  Those
messages are entirely transparent and embodied in practical processes. We
don't go around saying stuff like, " you are a free person", but people
discover their existential freedom in these facilitated situations.

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

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

                                                ejhs
