A Little Caveat from yesterday
by Milan Hamilton 03 Oct '18

03 Oct '18

Just a minor explanation about yesterday’s endorsement of Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota for Senator. It was partly in hopes of swaying her away from voting to confirm Kavanaugh, which would disappoint me and many of you I know. So, North Dakotans, tell her my support is with the hope that she will do the right thing. MM Sent from my iPad

Call to All 10 03 2018 Let’s go Kentucky!
by Milan Hamilton 03 Oct '18

03 Oct '18

Ok Friends, Today my Call to All goes to my sister-and-brother-in-laws’ state of Kentucky. Amy McGrath, running for congressional 6th district, which includes the city of Lexington. I just made my donation to her campaign and have a dream of turning Kentucky blue. Maybe a long shot this time around but . . .??? It’s up to you Kentuckians! Amy McGrath, a former fighter pilot and political newcomer, won the Democratic nomination in Kentucky’s 6th congressional district, defeating Lexington Mayor Jim Gray for a seat party leaders are eager to try to flip in November. Gray conceded the race, McGrath’s campaign said. McGrath will face Republican Rep. Andy Barr in the general election. In an interview with The Washington Post on Monday, McGrath said that if she won, it would send a message to the Democratic Party about the power of first-time candidates. “We’re not just going to sit by on the sidelines and watch and see what happens,” she said.

Confessions of Max Boot
by Milan Hamilton 03 Oct '18

03 Oct '18

I just found this link on Twitter of David Corn of the Washington Post interviewing Max Boot on his new book. I don’t think we need to read the book but I read the whole interview. This longtime conservative neocon now thinks the Republican Party as now constituted needs to be totally demolished and is even recommending everyone vote straight Democrat in the upcoming election. If you haven’t seen this it may be worthy of your 5 minute read. M "We need to destroy the Republican Party": A conservative luminary calls for a clean start bit.ly/2yjMYVt. If the link doesn’t work you can probably find it on one of your feeds. Sent from my iPad

And we too are invited to live without a why, live in order to live and love in order to love." >From Lama Tsomo "The Lotus has great symbolism in Buddhism.

This represents us as human beings, being able to span such vast levels of consciousness, of being." | | #yiv4693680061 table div table+table+table+table+table+table+table div table, #yiv4693680061 table.yiv4693680061module-6{width:57.17%;float:left;padding:0;}#yiv4693680061 table div table+table+table+table+table+table+table div table a{border:0 none;text-decoration:none;}#yiv4693680061 table div table+table+table+table+table+table+table div table img{width:100%!important;border:0 none;text-decoration:none;}#yiv4693680061 table div table+table+table+table+table+table+table div table td{width:100%;padding:0 20px 20px 0;}#yiv4693680061 | | What happens when a Tibetan Buddhist lama and a Christian clergyman sit down to talk? And not just any lama and clergyman, but a renegade Catholic priest silenced by the Church for his progressive and inclusive beliefs and an American-born secular Jew who once embraced Tibetan Buddhism as a student, and now is embraced as a teacher. These conversations between Lama Tsomo and Matthew Fox over the past years explore the essential principles shared by their traditions―and the differences that distinguish them. The Lotus & The Rose includes three public dialogues between Matthew and Lama Tsomo during weekend workshops at Stanford University, The Upaya Zen Center in Santa Fe, and The Jung Center in Houston. Also included is a more personal conversation with no audience except each other. And, finally, individual interviews with both of them, revealing more about their own lives and worldview. Also available to the reader are video excerpts from the presentations, conversations, and interviews. Buddhists, Christians, followers of other spiritual traditions―and perhaps no spiritual tradition at all―will be intrigued by the range of ideas, and impressed and enlightened by the knowledge and experience that Matthew and Lama Tsomo bring to their exchanges. In this perilously contentious world, all viewers will be heartened by the admiration, respect, humor, and warmth that flows between these two friends who celebrate their common ground and delight in their differences. | | #yiv4693680061 This book is a rare and shining example of religious tolerance, theological inquiry and spiritual education—such an important offering in these times of religious and secular polarization. What a breath of fresh air!” —Isa Gucciardi, Founding Director of the Foundation of the Sacred Stream, author of Coming to Peace “Anyone drawn to both Tibetan Buddhism and Christian spirituality owes themselves some serious time with The Lotus & The Rose. Their talk ranges from banter to philosophic discourses, [and] is full of engaging stories and often awash in laughter. Rather than being otherworldly and cut off from daily life, these two spiritual explorers are socially conscious and fully engaged....It covers a bookshelf of issues and history like an extraordinary class that opens a host of doors to a subject you hadn’t realized was so important to you.” —Paul Chaffee, Editor of The Interfaith Observer “In these far ranging, wise, juicy, naked conversations, Matthew Fox and Lama Tsomo explore the many profound inter-connections between Tibetan Buddhism and Mystical Christianity. No book I know exemplifies so richly the joy and truth that are born when two authentic mystics of different but inter-linked revelations come together in friendship, mutual reverence, and radical openness to mystery.” --Andrew Harvey, author of The Hope: A Guide to Sacred Activism | | | | | | ©2018 Creation Spirituality | PO BOX 424533 San Francisco, CA 94142 | | | | | Web Version Preferences Forward Unsubscribe | | | | Powered by Mad Mimi®A GoDaddy® company | | |

Daily Office Rituals?
by Seth Longacre 03 Oct '18

03 Oct '18

Does anyone have copies of any/all of the various Daily Office Rituals we used — particularly in the late 70s, 80s when we were experimenting with ones written from all over the world? I looked at Golden Pathways (literally had to look through the entire “index”) and only found one from India. But I know there were many others. Let me know. Thanks. Seth T.

Call to All 10 02 2018 I just gave to Heidi Heitkamp!
by Milan Hamilton 02 Oct '18

02 Oct '18

So for my Call to All action for today I chose another woman candidate, from a neighbor state to my home state. I am still sticking with my Midwest roots and even though this one will not get the Senate back on a progressive track, at least it will keep one more seat out of “Trumpcountry.” And it keeps a woman incumbent in that chamber of mysogenists. An added bit of not so trivial trivia is that Cannonball, North Dakota is where some of my colleagues with the Institute of Cultural Affairs lived and worked for a few years. I just gave to Heidi Heitkamp! To see details and contribute now, please go to: http://secure.actblue.com/donate/hh4nd?abt=email --- An ActBlue fundraiser has sent you this email inviting you to join their action. Your email address has not been added to any mailing list. If this email has reached you in error, we apologize. Sent from my iPad
