<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Shortly after Gil sent his message to the list on
his experience with OS and high conflict situations, I asked Arun Wahklu, who
has opened space for Indians, Pakistanis and Kashmiris, what his thoughts were
on Gil's message. I did this to continue my learning from as many folks
with real experience in this arena as possible.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>While I didn't get his response to the
list in a timely way, his words struck me as important to share, so they are
below.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Peggy</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for forwarding Gils views to
me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here is my response:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<HR>
</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Different minds see "Reality"
differently.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Infact, "Reality" out there, is a projection
and manifestation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>of the Inner Structures and paradigms in the
minds of the key players.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The more "spacious" and free the inner
consciousness of the players,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the more likely there is to be movement towards
reconciliation and harmony.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, as Gil has rightly pointed out, most
players have very restricted,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>fixed and violent mind sets. Also there are many
conflicting "mind structures"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in the situation, thereby leading to the mess she
has described.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Behind and above all these mind structures is
Pure Spirit......even in the most dreaded</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>of " terrorists" and "militants" .At the
Heart of every living being, is Pure Love.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> OST in such situations will work only
if the facilitators hold this Vision firmly</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in their Hearts.It will call for enormous
Faith.Only then will they be used as instruments of Spirit,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>which will move things in the direction of
Healing, Peace, evolution.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If the facilitators are not coming out of
an inner space of Love, they should not</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>attempt to tinker around with OST or any other
thing in high conflict situations.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It could be as dangerous as a mountaineer
climbing a mountain without the </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>right equipment, preparedness etc. The intention
should be total surrender to the Divine Essence</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>which is the most Open Space, which is the Peace
that Passeth undersatnding.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Heres a mesage from the Source for all of
us:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>( I am just about to randomly reach out for
"Opening Doors Within" by Eileen Caddy,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>with a prayer of Gratitude for the wonderful
connections that are part of the Play of </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Existence):</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>July 30</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#800080 face=Arial size=2>Give constant thanks
for everything.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#800080 face=Arial size=2>There is so much to be
grateful for: open your eyes, look around, and see how</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#800080 face=Arial size=2>blessed you are. As
you do so, you will find yourself filled with an overwhelming feeling of
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#800080 face=Arial size=2>Love and gratitude,
and the whole of life and living will take on a new meaning.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#800080>The people
around you will mean more to you because your heart is filled with
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#800080 face=Arial size=2>love for them, and you
have a deeper understanding and tolerance towards them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#800080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#800080>You will find yourself grateful for them
, for their love and companionship, for just being themselves.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#800080>Your eyes will open to all the beauty
and harmony around you, to the wonders of nature.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#800080>You will see with eyes that really
see;you will hear with ears that really hear; and you will speak with words of
love and undersatnding. Life will be good for you because you are taking
nothing for granted, but are appreciative of everything and can see My hand in
everything.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=left><FONT color=#800080 face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=left>Finally, regarding shared need, there is no person on planet
Earth who does not deeply want Peace, Love, Justice,Harmony and Joy. For those
of us who are being called to work in this area, remembering this Sun behind
all the clouds, keeps our Spirits high, and surprisingly, makes us instruments
of Healing .</DIV>
<DIV align=left>A practical tip from my own experience. Focus on what is good
about people,(from where thye light is shining through) no matter how
small, and put your attention there. That is the road to the Sun
behind the clouds.</DIV>
<DIV align=left> </DIV>
<DIV align=left><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lots of Love and hugs</FONT></DIV>
