villages and dependency...was second space in istanbul (long)

[Chris Weaver]

Raffi,

Although I have been accused of being poetic, I (mostly) just like sticking
sticks into wasps' nests.  I know it's working when I get to see a few more
of your cards.

Christy & Aart, thank you for sharing your wonderful words.

Chris

Chris,

Boy do you like speaking in Spirit tongue! Yowza! Probably have some
really great teachers!

"De nada", huh? Talk about open space and Nothingness! Now, that's
really Something!

Yes, come back to me about FIV. I feel more and more that we cannot
talk about and experience Spirit without occasional microdoses of the
shockingly offensive and profane. For me, I think that if you don't
have the profanity piece what you got is something that looks, talks,
smells like Spirit but waaaay too tame for me.

I'm a greedy guy, I likeSpirit. Lots and lots of it. A while ago
Chris "Kairos" Corrigan blogged about
a radio guy I'd turned him on to who's life's work is taking people to
new places with Spirit using radio. Check out Joe Frank
(www.joefrank.com) His Escape from Paradise, Eye in the Sky, and OJ
Chronicles are fine starting points. In my opinion, even though Joe
has been around some 30 years, he's still FIV-. He does engage in some
risk behaviors, but at last glance still negative.

Talking about FIV and psh'ers are the closest ways
I think I can relatively safely go to those places in this public
forum.

This Oslist is a grand experiment too, just like ost. And sometimes my
experiments have turned off some very important people. And while I
feel it is right to go to the profane at times, something else is more
important for me-- keeping up the conversation and maintaining
connection.

Here's to the non-contraction of flatland immunodeficiency virus!
warmly,
raffi
