<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>A few days ago, a friend from Bangladesh told me about the following ancient Indian principles of spirituality.<br><br>I was struck by how similar these principles are to the principles of Open Space Technology (in parentheses).<br><br>1. Every Person you encounter is the right one. (Whoever comes is the right people.)<br>2. Whatever has happened, is the only thing that could have happened. (Whatever happens is the only thing that could have, be prepared to be surprised!)<br>3. Each moment in which something begins is the right moment. (Whenever it starts is the right time.)<br>4. What is Over is Over. (When it’s over, it’s over.)<br>5. Nothing is permanent.<br><br>Jan Höglund<br>Sweden<br><br> </div></body>
