urgency & philosophy - Encounter

[Manuela Maciel]

I completely agree with Rebecca and Rob and Adam and Connie and Cynthia and
Ed.
In fact what Cyinthia, in a brilliant group therapist manner, it reminds me
of the quote of Ed`s student that so much touched his feelings. It touches
mine too, Ed, very much in fact.

A true Encounter... Eye-to-eye...
M.M.


Dear Colleagues,

I am reading the final papers from a class I teach on psychodrama at a
University Graduate School.   Here's a quote from one of the papers.  Really

amazing I feel.

Best,

Ed


"A true encounter is engendered from the intimate connections of limbic
resonance and regulations which occur between life forms and is the moment
of truly seeing and feeling the other, and the self in the other, which
bonds us as members of a living symbolic world.  In honoring these
encounters, we can together create new cultural conserves which serve the
whole of humanity."

Assunto: Re: urgency & philosophy

We have got to come to terms with the situation in the world.
We have to pull together if we can to create something that can address
this.
I cannot ignore the reality of what is taking place.  How can we allow 100s
of 
species to die daily?  As Jensen writes, a granade is rolling across the
floor,
it won't go away.  I work hours to find a way to apply sociatry.  I want to
have
others to discuss this with on this forum.  It reminds me of what my
great-grandfather
did in Europe.  Ed
