Re: [Oe List ...] We celebrate the life and death of JWM

I'm especially struck by the "Creativity is Prayer" quote. In the University of Creation Spirituality D.Min. program, half of the curriculum consisted of academic seminars, half of Art as Meditation. I appreciate the wisdom in that. >From currently reading Evolutionaries by Carter Phipps, I understand an edge question in science these days is "How does something come from nothing?" The answer is "We don't know." In gratitude for JWM's wonderful creativity in bringing something from nothing in all our lives, and for John and Lynda's faithful discipleship, Jann McGuire In a message dated 10/16/2012 4:16:15 P.M.

A new daily post plus a revised post (Xtra) go out each morning to e-mail subscribers. We also share the new, Xtra, plus 2 more extra posts each day on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, StumbleUpon, MySpace, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Yahoo, etc. A global reach to 160+ countries/territories is established. Hopefully profound reflection and dialog is happening. As we end each post we bow and say "Namaste."

Three cheers for Tim! Thanks so much... And your email does raise the question of how this list serve or the underlying technology might evolve... I hear that Cisco is thinking that all this will be in live-video rather than text... eg we kind of walk into a visible space and say a virtual hello... or something like that... Maybe that will happen in ten years....

How does he do that? I am happy to help with subscribing Sherwood. But just so you all know, every list message has a footer (which may show as an attachment) that contains information for how to get to screens that enable you to to manage your membership, including subscribing and unsubscribing, turning off mail, and so forth. Also be aware that if you want to subscribe an additional email (without necessarily having list mail go to that email), this is easily done, saving me from having to manually approve your posts that come from the "wrong" emails. Just ask me via private email if you need help with this. I am seeing a fair bit of (legititmate) post attempts from non-subscribed emails. Lately I've been marking those emails to just be always allowed to post, so maybe this is a problem that is already solved. Still, list mindfullness and understanding on your part is a good thing, unless you prefer to allow the mysterious hand behind the screen to control all. I continue to be in awe of how well old clunky obsolete email works to keep us connected. Just don't try to explain mailing lists to your grandkids. In the grand sweep of history email is a tiny blip on the timeline that is coming to an end, but it still works for us, and might even outlast us!

Dan Tuecke surgery

15 Oct '12

_____ From: Patricia Tuecke [mailto:ptuecke@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, October 13, 2012 9:43 PM To: 'Lynda Cock' Subject: Update Dear Lynda, It's been awhile since we connected. You've been on my mind a lot lately. I haven't been on the dialogue for several months. I would be pleased if you could send the message below to the dialogue for me. Dan is in the hospital, facing surgery on his spinal cord tonight about 9PM, and I would like to know our community is aware of that and keep him in their prayers. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Dear Ones, Some of you know that over the past 18 months Dan has been treated for conditions arising out of a diagnosis of transverse myelitis. Scarring on his spinal column at some unknown time affects his right leg. He has no control of his thigh muscle and his foot drops. He wears a brace sometimes and walks with 2 canes to help him stay balanced. From lack of normal walking and exercise he developed blood clots, a deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Just since Jan. of this year we have been to ER 8 times and admitted to hospital at least 6 times. One of those visits lasted 36 days between hospital and rehab. Last Wednesday we arrived back in Reno after a great visit with Lee & Leah Early in Seattle & son Eric Tuecke in Portland. His pain was such he couldn't stand or walk. So we went straight to the ER. He was admitted because of great pain in his back. Tonight he will have surgery on his spine. He has excellent medical care here at Renown Medical Center, but when they are messing with your spine it's a bit scary. His surgeon is excellent, very good reputation and we expect a good outcome. Your thoughts and prayers will help both of us. Pat

That was a very exciting link! Wish we could get back to Chicago more often, Mike Tippett In a message dated 9/28/2012 10:49:24 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, bergdall2(a)gmail.com writes: The subject line, "the old Order passing away," has been grabbing my attention for several days now as I open my email. While that is certainly a statement of fact in regard to our EI/OE/ICA community, it is far from being the whole story. During the past academic year, September-May 2012, ICA-USA had 200+ university students engaged in preparation field work for the city-wide share fair, "Accelerate 77." Then, for ten weeks during the summer, we were rocked daily with 40 interns passionately "bending history" as they completed the work. Their presence has been living proof of our 50th Anniversary slogan, "Midway in a Century of Care." The following link will give you a glimpse at what I'm talking about. You'll see Seva Gandhi, a full-time staff person of ICA-USA and a current member of the ICA-International Board of Directors, and Dylan Amlin, one of the summer interns, being interviewed about the "Sharing Approaches That Work" event on September 15: _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNtJle4YfH0&feature=bf_prev&list=UUdS0glKdGe DSaDVQfwuL6FA_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNtJle4YfH0&feature=b f_prev&list=UUdS0glKdGeDSaDVQfwuL6FA) All is good, all is received, that past is approved, the future is open.

Two books we highly recommend for your consideration
by Milan Hamilton 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Hi, we would like to recommend two books that we think might strongly resonate with anyone who has been drawn to RSI. They are both by Darryl Bailey. One is Essence Revisited and the second is Dismantling the Fantasy. They are concise, clear, and elegant writings about the Way Life Is. You can check out Darryl at darrylbailey.net. You'll find a couple of very helpful talks there that are a good introduction to his teachings. We can tell you more about him if you're interested. Warm regards, Milan & Linda Milan Hamilton aka Mellowmilan 80 North Center Street Redlands, CA 92373-8116 Phone: (909) 793-4482 Email: mellowmilan(a)verizon.net Blog: www.mellowmilan.blogspot.com

ICA Accelerate 77 is asking, "What are the dynamics of sustainable communities?"
by Karen Snyder 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

> As university students were interviewed to participate in the Accelerate 77 Summer Program, each was asked, "What does sustainability mean to you?" Consistently they responded that sustainability included economic, social and environmental dynamics. These three dynamics are taught in universities. > > We learned from various websites how others look at sustainable communities such as: > * Ecotrust's image under "What does a sustainable society look like?" at www.conservationeconomy.net > * An ecovillage image of "The 15 elements of ecovillage living" at http://www.gaia.org/mediafiles/gaia/resources/HJackson_whatIsEv.pdf > * Transition movement's image of "Transition to a Resilient Future" at www.transtionus.org (US) or www.transitionnetwork.org (global) > > Our intent was to integrate the language from these websites, ICA's community development program chart, and our experience. Paul Noah has created the beautiful design below to hold the current thinking. > > This is a DRAFT. In the midst of the energy focused on the Accelerate 77 Share Fair September 15th, there has been little time to develop and refine this work. We are now posting it on the listserve in order to occasion a broader conversation and feedback to create a design for sharing with sustainable communities in the future. > > Enjoy! And send your feedback!! >
