it be that consciousness is the latest evolutionary innovation that,<BR>when
applied to conversation, catalyzes a new form of social system,
the<BR>conscious co-creative collective, the radiant network of deep
community? I <BR>believe that conscious conversation is the path to what
Thich Nhat Hanh<BR>imagined when he said: "It is possible that the next
Buddha will not take<BR>the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take
the form of a community, <BR>a community practicing understanding and
lovingkindness, a community<BR>practicing mindful living. And the practice
can be carried out as a group,<BR>as a city, as a
nation."[2]<BR><BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR clear=all><A

style="COLOR: rgb(0,102,0)" name=gafni>"Messiah" in the original Hebrew is
understood by the Kabbalists, quite astoundingly, to mean "conversation."
Master Nachum of Chernobyl, mystic and philosopher, points out that the
Hebrew word for messiah, Mashiach, can be understood as the Hebrew word
Ma-siach – Messiah, meaning "from dialogue" or "of conversation." His
assertion radically implies that the Messiah is potentially present in every
human conversation — every mutual act of
voice-giving."</A><BR></BLOCKQUOTE><SPAN style="COLOR: rgb(0,102,0)"><BR>(see
