seeks OS input</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">To the OS list:<br>
<br>
I have been a lurker around OS for nearly 30 years, having looked over my
shoulder at some of the work being done at General Motors when the Saturn
operation was first planned. (I am retired from GM.)<br>
<br>
Since then my wife Esther and I have participated in several OS events and
even facilitated a couple ourselves. We have also been active in alternative
conscious explorations.<br>
<br>
This list, of many we subscribe to, seems most open to new thinking and
hence we ask for your help.<br>
<br>
We have this idea and hunger to LIVE more fully in OpenSpace, having reached
all kinds of limits in "regular" organizations and we are thinking about
placing the following announcement/ad in the Mountain Xpress and Spirit In
The Smokies (which are alternative press vehicles) here in Asheville North
Carolina.<br>
<br>
We would appreciate suggestions/input/ideas and thoughts relative to our
approach. We would also appreciate hearing more on how you LIVE daily in OpenSpace.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Here is the piece we have constructed
so far:</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">"CENTER for BEING</span></font></b>
828-298-5800: Sundays 11:00 am – 12:30. A leaderless alternative to organized
religion in Asheville. Being and practicing conscious presence together as
One. Facilitated only by spirit or intelligence. Together, in a circle, we
explore and practice deep listening, sensitivity, synchronicity, spontaneity
-- sharing from our hearts & minds. Based on Aquarian Age and New Millennium
truths in such modern manuscripts as: “The Power of Now” & “Stillness
Speaks” by Eckhart Tolle; "Beyond Belief, The Secret Gospel of Thomas" by
Elaine Pagels," Harry Potter" by J. K. Rawlings and others."<br>
<br>
Warmly, with appreciation<br>
Peter & Esther Fisher<br>
Asheville, North Carolina<o:p></o:p></p>
