Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm I see this as learning from the future as it emerges...

Ahh. It is a sort of remembering the future then?

>From what you say, I suspect it is something like that.

My beginning point is perhaps a blend of the two pictures you posit: We are
birthed forth (big bang?) from some being of consciousness, and we are ever
after pulled forward to the same place. In between, we are seeking our
return. Evolutionally, this means we see ourselves as homing in on an ever
growing consciousness. (The next step seems to me to be gatherings of
people--a development of consciousness *between* conscious beings.) This
for me brings up images of the solar storms we have seen, where there is an
eruption on the surface of the sun, gasses geyser up and out tens of
thousands of miles and are then pulled back to the surface. Definitely an
Eckhartian image.

So what does this have to do with open space? We are opening space for
conversations for the future--to create it, influence it, make it
conscious, remember it. Yes, we are remembering our future. But knowing
that the future has many branches, do we not need to consciously choose the
direction? Is there not an ethic we need to put to work here? An ethic of
what serves conversation, inclusivity, life?
