<DIV><FONT face="Arial Cyr" size=2>Dear Michael, Lena, and everyone
else,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I think your points are well-taken. I assure you, Lena, that I
continue to do OS while these questions come up. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>And I think your point about thinking something supposedly
American or whatever won't work becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy is also right
on. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I only really began to feel the power of OS after having
conducted some 15 or so such events. I recall a prominent Moscow banker and
asked him if he knew about OS. This was about two years ago. He said something
like, "Oh yeah, that Open Space, they hypnotize you or something," as if to poo
poo it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I think part of my inner work is being even more invisible,
letting go of my expectations. I have a two day OS coming up on Thursday,
keeping all my phalanges crossed!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>A friendly salute,</FONT></DIV>
