Thank you Peggy and Arun

What you say
Is fully simple and absolutely almost impossible, 
It is helpfull and painfull as well
But it is the only way that keeps you sane.
We know it from our experience here in the Middle East, 

Avner

  Shortly after Gil sent his message to the list on his experience with OS and high conflict situations, I asked Arun Wahklu, who has opened space for Indians, Pakistanis and Kashmiris, what his thoughts were on Gil's message.  I did this to continue my learning from as many folks with real experience in this arena as possible.
   
  While I didn't get his response to the list in a timely way, his words struck me as important to share, so they are below.

  Dear Peggy
   
  Thanks for forwarding Gils views to me.
  Here is my response:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Different minds see "Reality" differently.
  Infact, "Reality" out there, is a projection and  manifestation
  of the Inner Structures and paradigms in the minds of the key players.
   
  The more "spacious" and free the inner consciousness of the players,
  the more likely there is to be movement towards reconciliation and harmony.
  However, as Gil has rightly pointed out, most players have very restricted,
  fixed and violent mind sets. Also there are many conflicting "mind structures"
  in the situation, thereby leading to the mess she has described.
   
  Behind and above all these mind structures is Pure Spirit......even in the most dreaded
  of " terrorists" and "militants" .At the Heart of every living being, is Pure Love.
   OST in such situations will work only if   the facilitators hold this Vision firmly
  in their Hearts.It will call for enormous Faith.Only then will they be used as instruments of Spirit,
  which will move things in the direction of Healing, Peace, evolution.
   
  If the facilitators are  not coming out of an inner space of Love, they should not
  attempt to tinker around with OST or any other thing in high conflict situations.
  It could be as dangerous as a mountaineer climbing a mountain without the 
  right equipment, preparedness etc. The intention should be total surrender to the Divine Essence
  which is the most Open Space, which is the Peace that Passeth undersatnding.

  Heres  a mesage from the Source for all of us:
  ( I am just about to  randomly reach out for "Opening Doors  Within" by Eileen Caddy,
  with a prayer of Gratitude for the wonderful connections that are part of the Play  of 
  Existence):
  July 30
  Give constant thanks for everything.
  There is so much to be grateful for: open your eyes, look around, and see how
  blessed you are. As you do so, you will find yourself filled with an overwhelming feeling of 
  Love and gratitude, and the whole of life and living will take on a new meaning.
  The people around you will mean more to you because your heart is filled with 
  love for them, and you have a deeper understanding and tolerance towards them.
   
  You will find yourself grateful for them , for their love and companionship, for just being themselves.
  Your eyes will open to all the beauty and harmony around you, to the wonders of nature.
  You will see with eyes that really see;you will hear with ears that really hear; and you will speak with words of love and undersatnding. Life will be good for you because you are taking nothing for granted, but are appreciative of everything and can see My hand in everything.
   
  Finally, regarding shared need, there is no person on planet Earth who does not deeply want Peace, Love, Justice,Harmony and Joy. For those of us who are being called to work in this area, remembering this Sun behind all the clouds, keeps our Spirits high, and surprisingly, makes us instruments of  Healing .
  A practical tip from my own experience. Focus on what is good about people,(from where thye light is shining through) no matter how small, and put your attention there. That is  the road to the Sun behind the clouds.

  Lots of Love and hugs
