A Partial Diary of the Collective Buddha

[Douglas D. Germann, Sr.]

Kenoli--

Your list is evocative to me. Thank you for collecting all these things in
one place. It is important to have, and I shall keep it as a checklist for
myself.

One place I would differ with you, slightly, is the notion of "unregulated
participation."

My experience is that regulation is sometimes helpful, as in what I call a
Listening Stick Circle. This is similar to what is sometimes done in OST,
with the caveat that the person with the stick is the one being listened
to, and others will listen deeply, without interruption or comment. This,
in my experience, has helped the flow of Spirit, or at least gotten out of
its way when it decided to show up.
