<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is amazing to come back from a brief holiday to
find an explosion of emails about Truth! What truly wonderful people inhabit
this list... We have a dialogue group here in Scotland and one of our recent
topics was Conflict. It was fascinating to discover as our dialogue developed
that our understanding and embrace of Conflict changed radically in the group.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What initially we approached as an issue
associated with stress, disturbance and avoidance, became something deeper and
it emerged, grew and finally developed in our appreciation as a valuable and
necessary stage in the unfolding of insight and perception and sharing of truth.
So we could see that without conflict we would lose a vital window on reality.
But only if we went beyond the 'stuck place' of sides in conflict, and could
enlarge our vision to consider the totality of what the conflict was
about.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This resonated strongly for me with what
Krishnamurti used to emphasise, that one must see what is, directly and clearly,
without judgement, thought or interpretation. As one sees and feels with
clarity and vital, passionate awareness, the distinction between observer and
what is observed - the conscious but artificial human duality - is clearly
an illusion. Truth is the reflection - experience - of oneself
in the particluar state of attention and observation that is
happening. And here one learns. There is something very liberating about this
and it seems to resonate beautifully with all that has been said and experienced
about letting go in facilitating open space.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lastly, I cannot resist this line from the
letter to Hebrews 13 that was read in church today, "Be not forgetful to
entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels
unawares."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With great appreciation.</FONT></DIV>
