shalom
In all of my getting I found it helpful to get understanding. There is a
phrase found in the rooms of NA
More and more shall be revealed. Teaching, leading, transforming and
growing takes work.
In all my getting I have learned to seek some understanding by asking
questions and observing.
Am I where I want to be? so I am here with an open mind and the discipline
to be compassionate as well as certain about my vulnerability.
May we take a moment to consider and reconsider.
Take a breath.

respectfully
Lovingly
K. Sweetness Jennings

>> open and honest input, giving people the liberty to express one's opinion.
>> Here is that great point:
>>
>> ...One person who understood how this works intuitively was Alexis de
>> Tocqueville. In democracies, as long as there is not yet a majority
>> opinion, a range of views can be expressed, and it appears there is a
>> great
>> ?liberty of opinion,? to use his phrase. But once a majority opinion
>> forms,
>> it acquires a sudden social power, and it brings with it pressure to end
>> dissent. A powerful new kind of censorship and coercion begins in everyday
>> life (at work, school, choir, church, hospitals, in all institutions) as
>> the majority turns on the minority, demanding it comply. Tocqueville, like
>> James Madison, was concerned about this ?the tyranny of the majority,?
>> which he saw as the Achilles? heel of democracy. It isn?t only because
>> divisiveness created a minority faction steeped in lingering resentment;
>> it?s also because minorities can sometimes be more right than majorities
>> (indeed, emerging ideas are, by definition, minority ideas to start with).
>> The majority overtaking the minority could mean stamping out thoughts and
>> actions that would otherwise generate progress and forward movement...
>>
>> ...It is a fascinating moment when this sort of crystallization happens in
>> a mass culture like America?s, because seemingly overnight even the
>> definition of legitimate speech (or thought or action) also changes.
>> Tocqueville observed that quite abruptly a person can no longer express
>> opinions or raise questions that only days before were acceptable, even
>> though no facts of the matter have changed. At an individual level, people
>> who were within the bounds can be surprised to find themselves
>> ...tormented
>> by the slights and persecutions of daily obloquy... Once this occurs, he
>> wrote, ...your fellow-creatures will shun you like an impure being, and
>> those who are most persuaded of your innocence will abandon you too, lest
>> they should be shunned in their turn...
>>
>> In the midst of a pandemic, seeing the unvaccinated as ?impure? is no
>> surprise, because of course they could carry contagion. But as Tocqueville
>> pointed out, this *also* occurs when there is no contagion, and we begin
>> to
>> experience those who are on the wrong side as ?impure??as in failing the
>> purity test?and react to them as though they are dangerous. That we do
>> this
>> even when there is no pandemic suggests that there is, along with
>> realistic
>> fear of infection, something else going on here?a sense that those with
>> whom we may disagree are impurities in the body politic, bad people who
>> need to be taught a lesson, even punished.
>> A final poignant point to me in your piece Rosa was this gem talking about
>> what we do! Facilitating THE participatory proceess of OST.  Here in
>> context of public health.
>>
>> June 2021 Gallup
>> <
>> https://news.gallup.com/poll/350720/covid-vaccine-reluctant-likely-stay.aspx
>> >
>> poll
>> found that, among the vaccinated, 53% now worry most about those choosing
>> not to get vaccinated, ?surpassing concerns about lack of social
>> distancing
>> in their area (27%), availability of local hospital resources and supplies
>> (11%), and availability of coronavirus tests in their area (5%).? True to
>> the BIS?s impulses, this fear is metastasizing into disgust, even hatred,
>> of those who?because they believe or act differently?are now perceived as
>> threats: On Aug. 26, in a front-page story in the *Toronto Star*, my local
>> newspaper, a resident was quoted as saying: ...I have no empathy left for
>> the willfully unvaccinated. Let them die...
>>
>> In the midst of such a death wish for fellow human beings, even the person
>> quoted understood that an important mental capacity has been lost:
>> empathy,
>> or the ability to model other people?s minds. When we lose that en masse,
>> the results can be tragic, not least because getting through this must be
>> a
>> group effort.
>>
>> As I understand it, there are two main approaches to public health in
>> liberal democracies, and both have been tried historically in different
>> places. One begins voluntarily, out of respect for civil liberties, but
>> switches to coercion when some voluntary ceiling, deemed insufficient, is
>> reached. Ideally, this intervention is based on the principle of
>> least-necessary coercion. The benefit to this is that it may work to get
>> more people vaccinated in shorter order. But it also conveys that the
>> government does not trust its citizens to make good decisions on their
>> own,
>> a condescension that in turn?this is human nature 101?eventually generates
>> resentment, even revolt, and the disengagement of significant segments of
>> the population. The other approach, participatory public health, sees the
>> need for coercion as a sign that something in the public health outreach
>> itself has failed; if a ceiling is reached, society?s leaders should not
>> simply resort to force but rather confront the flaws in their own
>> leadership?that they should double-down on their responsibility to
>> generate
>> trust in the public. The goal of participatory public health is not to
>> crush, but to better engage.
>>
>> In that spirit, what follows is an attempt by a physician and neuroscience
>> writer and someone who got vaccinated, early and voluntarily, to
>> understand
>> those who have not made this choice. This essay is not about COVID-deniers
>> or anti-vaxxers, who oppose vaccines on ideological grounds. Nor is it
>> about the activists or political figures who feed off and benefit from the
>> corrosive discourse around vaccines. It is instead about the vaccine
>> hesitant?those who are concerned and anxious about COVID but *also*
>> anxious
>> about these new vaccines. These are the people who are not yet vaccinated
>> for reasons that the majority may not understand?and which are often more
>> anchored in history and experience than the majority would suspect. They
>> are the Tocquevillian minority that the majority is threatening with job
>> loss and other restrictions.
>>
>> One needn?t agree with the decisions or actions of the vaccine hesitant in
>> order to learn something from them and about them, and about society as a
>> whole. They pay attention to, and are vigilant about, different issues
>> than
>> the vaccinated, and have strong feelings about the people and institutions
>> involved in our public health?particularly politicians, the drug
>> regulatory
>> process, and pharmaceutical companies. For many, vaccine hesitancy is not
>> simply about the vaccines; it?s about the absence of faith in the wider
>> systems that brought us the vaccines. ?Public health moves at the speed of
>> trust,? notes physician and author Rishi Manchanda. If we want our public
>> health system to function better?safer, swifter, in ways that more
>> effectively safeguard the lives and livelihoods of all citizens?it must be
>> rooted not in coercion but in confidence, and not only among the majority.

>> Rosa Zubizarreta, thank YOU so very much for this truly awe inspiring,
>> interesting and intellectually important reference to needle points!
>>
>>
>>
>> I took special notice of the line:
>>
>> ... an infected person may at first show only the mildest and nonspecific
>> symptoms, such as a cough or sniffle, before they become deathly ill...
>>
>>
>>
>> It is SO TRUE, that ALL colds start with a sniffle, cough, or start of a
>> sore throat. That is our body and mind's way of telling us it's time to
>> start the fight against the bug bringing on these basic symptoms. But oh
>> no, that's not what our medical geniuses tell us... it is all right there
>> in black and white for anyone who gets covid, you get the same piece of
>> paper from all of group thinkers from CDC, WHO, NIH, Etc on down to local
>> docs, who say:  ...if you get covid DO NOTHING! Except run and hide from
>> your pets, family and friends... And you are also advised to spray chemical
>> cleaners (that you are then breathing in the whole time) on everything you
>> touch, each time you touch it, every day while in solitary confinement.
>> Then, say our health gurus, when you cant breath, and only then, you should
>> do something...go to the hospital, call an ambulance. Others who do nothing
>> and wait until they cant breathe  literally call the undertaker as they
>> pull out a pistol and shoot themselves.
>>   Suicide skyrocketing now during this disease. My solution is simple and
>> better and it works... The moment you feel a runny nose or sore throat,
>> cough, etc., gargle with hot salt water and rinse your nose with a saline
>> rinse...bye bye bugs...!
>>
>>
>>
>> I also take note of another great point in your Needle Points reference,
>> Rosa, and thank you most gratefully for this one also... not because it
>> proves my point on leadership loyalty and retaliation for failure to do so,
>> but because it is a profound truth that all OST facilitators should
>> understand before sending participants into the new lion's den known as
>> open and honest input, giving people the liberty to express one's opinion.
>> Here is that great point:
>>
>>
>>
>> ...One person who understood how this works intuitively was Alexis de
>> Tocqueville. In democracies, as long as there is not yet a majority
>> opinion, a range of views can be expressed, and it appears there is a great
>> ?liberty of opinion,? to use his phrase. But once a majority opinion forms,
>> it acquires a sudden social power, and it brings with it pressure to end
>> dissent. A powerful new kind of censorship and coercion begins in everyday
>> life (at work, school, choir, church, hospitals, in all institutions) as
>> the majority turns on the minority, demanding it comply. Tocqueville, like
>> James Madison, was concerned about this ?the tyranny of the majority,?
>> which he saw as the Achilles? heel of democracy. It isn?t only because
>> divisiveness created a minority faction steeped in lingering resentment;
>> it?s also because minorities can sometimes be more right than majorities
>> (indeed, emerging ideas are, by definition, minority ideas to start with).
>> The majority overtaking the minority could mean s
>>  tamping out thoughts and actions that would otherwise generate progress
>> and forward movement...
>>
>> ...It is a fascinating moment when this sort of crystallization happens
>> in a mass culture like America?s, because seemingly overnight even the
>> definition of legitimate speech (or thought or action) also changes.
>> Tocqueville observed that quite abruptly a person can no longer express
>> opinions or raise questions that only days before were acceptable, even
>> though no facts of the matter have changed. At an individual level, people
>> who were within the bounds can be surprised to find themselves ...tormented
>> by the slights and persecutions of daily obloquy... Once this occurs, he
>> wrote, ...your fellow-creatures will shun you like an impure being, and
>> those who are most persuaded of your innocence will abandon you too, lest
>> they should be shunned in their turn...
>>
>> In the midst of a pandemic, seeing the unvaccinated as ?impure? is no
>> surprise, because of course they could carry contagion. But as Tocqueville
>> pointed out, this also occurs when there is no contagion, and we begin to
>> experience those who are on the wrong side as ?impure??as in failing the
>> purity test?and react to them as though they are dangerous. That we do this
>> even when there is no pandemic suggests that there is, along with realistic
>> fear of infection, something else going on here?a sense that those with
>> whom we may disagree are impurities in the body politic, bad people who
>> need to be taught a lesson, even punished.
>>
>> A final poignant point to me in your piece Rosa was this gem talking
>> about what we do! Facilitating THE participatory proceess of OST.  Here in
>> context of public health.
>>
>>
>>
>> June 2021  <
>> https://news.gallup.com/poll/350720/covid-vaccine-reluctant-likely-stay.aspx>
>> Gallup poll found that, among the vaccinated, 53% now worry most about
>> those choosing not to get vaccinated, ?surpassing concerns about lack of
>> social distancing in their area (27%), availability of local hospital
>> resources and supplies (11%), and availability of coronavirus tests in
>> their area (5%).? True to the BIS?s impulses, this fear is metastasizing
>> into disgust, even hatred, of those who?because they believe or act
>> differently?are now perceived as threats: On Aug. 26, in a front-page story
>> in the Toronto Star, my local newspaper, a resident was quoted as saying:
>> ...I have no empathy left for the willfully unvaccinated. Let them die...
>>
>> In the midst of such a death wish for fellow human beings, even the
>> person quoted understood that an important mental capacity has been lost:
>> empathy, or the ability to model other people?s minds. When we lose that en
>> masse, the results can be tragic, not least because getting through this
>> must be a group effort.
>>
>> As I understand it, there are two main approaches to public health in
>> liberal democracies, and both have been tried historically in different
>> places. One begins voluntarily, out of respect for civil liberties, but
>> switches to coercion when some voluntary ceiling, deemed insufficient, is
>> reached. Ideally, this intervention is based on the principle of
>> least-necessary coercion. The benefit to this is that it may work to get
>> more people vaccinated in shorter order. But it also conveys that the
>> government does not trust its citizens to make good decisions on their own,
>> a condescension that in turn?this is human nature 101?eventually generates
>> resentment, even revolt, and the disengagement of significant segments of
>> the population. The other approach, participatory public health, sees the
>> need for coercion as a sign that something in the public health outreach
>> itself has failed; if a ceiling is reached, society?s leaders should not
>> simply resort to force but rather confront the flaws in t
>>  heir own leadership?that they should double-down on their responsibility
>> to generate trust in the public. The goal of participatory public health is
>> not to crush, but to better engage.
>>
>> In that spirit, what follows is an attempt by a physician and
>> neuroscience writer and someone who got vaccinated, early and voluntarily,
>> to understand those who have not made this choice. This essay is not about
>> COVID-deniers or anti-vaxxers, who oppose vaccines on ideological grounds.
>> Nor is it about the activists or political figures who feed off and benefit
>> from the corrosive discourse around vaccines. It is instead about the
>> vaccine hesitant?those who are concerned and anxious about COVID but also
>> anxious about these new vaccines. These are the people who are not yet
>> vaccinated for reasons that the majority may not understand?and which are
>> often more anchored in history and experience than the majority would
>> suspect. They are the Tocquevillian minority that the majority is
>> threatening with job loss and other restrictions.
>>
>> One needn?t agree with the decisions or actions of the vaccine hesitant
>> in order to learn something from them and about them, and about society as
>> a whole. They pay attention to, and are vigilant about, different issues

>> To Amanda Bucklow,
>> Thanks for your feedback. You fell right into what I will call the
>> TocquevilleTRAP that is outlined in the thoughtful link provided by Rosa
>> Zubizarreta on Needle Points (Thanks again Rosa!).  Please allow me to
>> take
>> on your hit piece, Amanda, point by point.
>>
>> But first I want to thank and commend Michael Pannwitz for your response!
>> You hit on points which i believe are profoundly wise.  And thank you for
>> the story of Harrison getting his great book -The Practice of Peace -
>> published.
>>
>> Fascinating Michael!  You said Harrison's publisher rejected the book.
>> Amanda, what if Harrison did what he was told (as you told me), to hush up
>> - ...change the subject... and as Koos told me, to get lost and ... PLEASE
>> go play somewhere else...? Well I guess we may not have the genius of Open
>> Space Technology if Harrison would have taken no for an answer and allowed
>> others to silence him and cancel his book of discoveries. Thanks Harrison
>> not giving up or giving in to your critics!
>> ________________
>>
>> Michael Pannwitz, you said:
>> They (Harrison's publisher) felt it didn't fit into their program... this
>> was
>> not the end of the book....What happened?
>>
>> ... In no time flat the book was printed and distributed and later also
>> translated by folks in 8 countries around the globe in North America,
>> Europe, near and far Asia (from the European point of view), Australia,
>> the Caribic ...
>>
>> Harrison called this phenomenon the "Global Chaordic Publication".
>>
>> It is the string "Who is BS-ing Whom?" that instantly fired up my
>> synapses which resurfaced this phehomenon... and my thoughts later on.
>>
>> Mulling over the current pandemic lets me wonder what incited the worst
>> pandemic on the globe.
>> Not surprising myself in any serious fashion I felt it is us ouselves...
>> like the creature in Pogo looking in a mirror seeing his enemy, see here
>> > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_have_met_the_enemy
>>
>> And what is it, at the core, that causes this disaster? Which virus is
>> that? What is the name of the disease this virus creates?
>> How about "control", the only real enemy of "selforganisation".
>> And who is best at controlling.
>> Yep, us.
>>
>> What was the impedement to publishing "The Practice of Peace"? What
>> hindered an established, mainstream and well known publisher to turn
>> down a book from an author that had a vision?
>>
>> ... If we start controlling OSLIST it will lose its meaning...
>>
>> Thanks again Michael for this profound wisdom, making two top tier points:
>> That the name of the REAL disease the Virus has caused is: CONTROL....
>> and,
>> that:
>> ...control of the OS list will lose its meaning...

>>  Amanda, you said the following which i will respond to point by point:
>>
>> ...One of the most important things about respectful disagreement is
>> congruence and consistency. I notice the following in your response to
>> Koos:
>>
>> I said I did not agree with the posted comments.
>> I guess you feel the vaccine works as promised despite all the deaths we
>> continue to see... good for you.
>> I have had covid twice, initial round and omicron and killed it with table
>> salt in 4 days.
>>
>> I am happy to engage in respectful disagreement with those who are willing
>> to be called out on their mental models and I am calling you out, Mark, on
>> your manipulative arguments which will definitely feel like bullying to
>> those who find inconsistency and flip-flopping deeply disrespectful.
>>
>> Please change the subject because this is going nowhere in terms of
>> learning and appreciation. It certainly does not acknowledge the grief and
>> loss of those who couldn?t kill the virus with ?table salt? in 4 days.
>> ______________
>> OK, Amanda you are calling me out on my ...mental model... and want me to
>> change the subject because it has no learning and appreciation, and that I
>> fail to acknowledge the grief and loss of those who couldnt kill the virus
>> in 4 days using table salt? You call me a bully, and accuse me of being
>> disrespectful, a flip flopper and inconsistent? Wow, that is quite a pro
>> hit piece wrapped in  intellectual language of a mediator. Impressive take
>> down attempt. Well, now i am calling you out.    First, NO MA'AM, I will
>> not change the subject nor go away and play somewhere else as Koos
>> directed
>> me. You fell right into the Tocqueville trap of seeking to silence, censor
>> and send away those who disagree with your opinions, or as you put it your
>> ...mental model...  You want to kick me out of the club, right? I offered
>> an alternative to doing nothing to kill the virus if one becomes sick out
>> of immense feelings i have to acknowledge the grief and loss by those who
>> could not kill the virus and who died or got gravely I'll. Like a lot of
>> my
>> friends.  To me you are the one being disingenuous and deeply
>> disrespectful
>> by saying that Amanda.  And I hope you too look in the mirror to see
>> yourself as an open space facilitator seeking to close down a conversation
>> by insult.  If you did see value in the conversation, perhaps learning and
>> saving lives would result in your circle of influence.  And as I alluded
>> as
>> one of my motives, to help people who facilit8 OST to be more keenly aware
>> of keeping out of the Tocqueville Trap...  Here is the quote again from
>> the
>> Needle Points piece Rosa shared. I Respectfully request you read it along
>> with the rest of the link Rosa provided. Again I thank you for your
>> feedback regardless of how wrong and offensive I find it to be. I did say
>> I
>> agree with John in part to keep haters (like you) off my back and to
>> enlighten us facilitators (by the way, I love your handle: Facilit8)..  I
>> wish you wellness and hope and trust you see now Amanda how you fell into
>> the Tocqueville Trap:
>>
>> One person who understood how this works intuitively was Alexis de
>> Tocqueville. In democracies, as long as there is not yet a majority
>> opinion, a range of views can be expressed, and it appears there is a
>> great
>> ?liberty of opinion,? to use his phrase. But once a majority opinion
>> forms,
>> it acquires a sudden social power, and it brings with it pressure to end
>> dissent. A powerful new kind of censorship and coercion begins in everyday
>> life (at work, school, choir, church, hospitals, in all institutions) as
>> the majority turns on the minority, demanding it comply. Tocqueville, like
>> James Madison, was concerned about this ?the tyranny of the majority,?
>> which he saw as the Achilles? heel of democracy. It isn?t only because
>> divisiveness created a minority faction steeped in lingering resentment;
>> it?s also because minorities can sometimes be more right than majorities
>> (indeed, emerging ideas are, by definition, minority ideas to start with).
>> The majority overtaking the minority could mean stamping out thoughts and
>> actions that would otherwise generate progress and forward movement...
>>
>> ...It is a fascinating moment when this sort of crystallization happens in
>> a mass culture like America?s, because seemingly overnight even the
>> definition of legitimate speech (or thought or action) also changes.
>> Tocqueville observed that quite abruptly a person can no longer express
>> opinions or raise questions that only days before were acceptable, even
>> though no facts of the matter have changed. At an individual level, people
>> who were within the bounds can be surprised to find themselves
>> ...tormented
>> by the slights and persecutions of daily obloquy... Once this occurs, he
>> wrote, ...your fellow-creatures will shun you like an impure being, and
>> those who are most persuaded of your innocence will abandon you too, lest
>> they should be shunned in their turn...
>> https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_de_Tocqueville
>>
>> I apologize and am sorry for offending anyone with the opposing viewpoint
>> I
>> posted and my comments that followed.  Please don't kick me out of the
>> club...
>>
>> Respectfully Submitted with Congruence, Consistency, and Honesty wishing
>> Peace of Mind to ALL you Peacemakers.
