Thanks Ken<br><br>
I'm glad you were not put off by my repeating of the phrase used by
someone at the Halifax IAF conference. I didn't intend it to stop us from
commenting, only to invite others to join in. I cherish colleagues in the
same category in which I fall!<br><br>
Thanks for your reference to Gene's work. Many of us owe a lot to
him.<br><br>

While I am "pale and male" I certainly feel, "fresh"
not "stale". <br><br>
(In my little village the grocery store is called
"FreshMart". However the locals refer to as...
"StaleMart.")<br><br>
For those interested in the Grand Design thread, Gene's latest book might
be of interest.<br><br>
He has been under the thrall of the New Religious Mode and the New Social
Vehicle for 40 years. He goes for the 'whole <i>enchilada</i>'
including everything we did as the Order and a whole lot more.<br><br>
Of course for 11 of those years he lead The Academy and was continually
making curriculum of Joe's (and our) latest themes.<br><br>
(His recently published book "The Road from Empire to
Eco-Democracy" is all about challenges and proposals that assert the
New Social Vehicle. It is surprisingly easy to read and has a study
guide.) <br><br>
I still assume that the doorway to a 'new society' is not just an
apprehension and a response to the suffering of the innocent, but also a
recreated sense of ones relationship to the cosmos (The Grand Design) - a
renewed sense of authenticity in living.<br><br>
His book <i>The Enigma of Consciousness</i> is a work in progress -
perhaps another six months to complete. He is very open to
comments.<br><br>
Recently he has added a file containing a chart to go with the table of
contents.<br><br>
It is the first file in the list.<br><br>
