<P><FONT size=3>OST always works because the 4 Principles always, </FONT><FONT size=3>inherently work because they reflect the truth. Truth, goodness, joy </FONT><FONT size=3>and love are all the same. Find one and you find them all.

<P>Julie,</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>You've articulated the biggest reasons that I am so drawn to OST. An invitation to enter such a space of truth is such a treasure...and I wonder if to do so in the presence of/cohesively with others is one of the factors that makes OST so </FONT><FONT size=3>unique (scary for some?). To whatever degree it is accepted or embraced, the opportunity to move from our nature of truth with others is a valuable, powerful gift. I believe that life is an invitation to "manifest who we are" and I love the fact that OST reminds people how to go about that process! One step further, I love that OST highlights how simple that movement is. Four principle (reminders), one law, and you're off. I am only a participant and a reader on the list so perhaps there is more that I'm missing, but then again, perhaps there isn't!!</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>As for you facilitators that are present as this process unfolds...what magic...to share with others in the experience of finding/ of living/ of being "</FONT><FONT size=3>t</FONT><FONT size=3>ruth, goodness, joy. <FONT size=3>Find one and you find them all." I feel so fortunate to be in a life that grants me the opportunity to move from that space, and am even more thankful that i get to share it with others.</FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>Thanks for the warm and fuzzy thoughts!</FONT></P>
