>> here's one of my favorite stories about feedback, harold.
>>
>> some years ago i did one of those 10-day meditation courses (goenka, vipassana, for those who care) and then helped with hosting another one. on my third, as a participant, we had an old indian guy, the #2 teacher in the world at that time in that practice, sitting in with us, but i thought the actual course teacher and the overall organization were a little dodgy.
>>
>> we were just forming the community in the midwest US, working toward building a center. the practice was all about equanimity. i went to this great teacher, a kind of mountain of gentleness, and asked something like, "what is more important, my responsibility to point out things that could help make the community better here or my staying in practice of equanimity?"
>>
>> he says, reassuringly, "these gypsy (not in an establish center) courses are always a bit difficult, not the ideal, always with different arrangements and challenges, BUT... if 10% of the people get 10% of the benefit, that will be enough."
>>
>> for me, it's same with open space.

I've no interest in taking on others anxieties about Open Space.

It's the second-hand feedback, via email no less. "Some people" nearly always means "me". It's also slightly passive-aggressive. I try not to take on other people's anxieties about open space - of which there seems to be a lot around - and simply get on with it.
