Thank you, Jim W. "I think" (or "imagine," see below) is the key. Don't quote me, but it could have happened. Maybe Cohen bumped into such RS-I expression by someone we know, or got it from the same well we did, like the one H. R. Niebuhr drew water from. Anyway, Cohen is making more and more sense, and this book especially. Thanks, Darrell, for sending the quote, and thank you, Jann M., for plugging the book when it came out last fall. John C. And thanks, Marshall Jones, for your e-mail yesterday. BTW, have you moved back our way yet? _____ From: John Cock [mailto:jpc2025@triad.rr.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2012 1:57 PM To: 'Colleague Dialogue' Subject: RE: [Dialogue] Creating the future He had RS-I at age 19, in Paducha, taught by Slicker--I think. _____ From: dialogue-bounces(a)lists.wedgeblade.net [mailto:dialogue-bounces@lists.wedgeblade.net] On Behalf Of darrell walker Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2012 1:16 PM To: Dialogue Subject: [Dialogue] Creating the future Colleagues, Echoes from the past. This quote from Evolutionary Enlightenment--A New Path to Spiritual Awakening by Andrew Cohen (Select Books New York 2011, p. 205): The future is not a given. What's going to happen is not already known and is not predetermined. The higher stages of consciousness and culture that lie in front of us do not yet exist. This sounds like a simple point, but it is profound. Many of us who are spiritually inspired tend to subscribe to metaphysical worldviews that tell us that the higher levels and stages of development are already laid out. But they're not. The newly emerging potentials in consciousness and culture have not yet appeared with enough consistency to become self-existing levels, or new "habits" in the interior fabric of the cosmos. They only come into being to the degree that you and I consciously participate together to develop those higher capacities in ourselves . . . This is why the awakening human at the leading edge today bears such a profound responsibility to be an evolutionary pioneer--to be the one who is literally living in that place between the present and the future.

Book Suggestion
by Rod Rippel 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

Those interested in the formation of myth-making in a changing, pluralistic, globalizing culture and the inter-related dynamics of emerging religious Modes/social Vehicles might consult the 1st chapter of Burton Mack’s book, “Who Wrote The New Testament.” The chapter is entitled “Clashing Cultures” and it is a great description of the collapse of the Greek polis/cosmos culture and the middle eastern Temple/King cultures as they collided in the aftermath of Alexander the Great’s military adventures and the subsequent emergence of the Christian Myth.

Revised song: Let the Earth Breathe
by Ellie Stock 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

Greetings from St. Louie on this World Environment Day! A couple weeks ago, as part of the report from our Awaken the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium/ICA 50th Anniversary event, we included the song "Let the Earth Breathe" written for the event. Since that time a number of revisions have been made on the attached music notation (can't be put in email text). Below are the lyrics. Ellie Stock LET THE EARTH BREATHE Letthe Earth breathe! Letits heart beat, pulsing and firing the fruit of itsseed. Letfour winds tease, air bright and clean. converging and swirling throughlife’s mystery. Letwaters wreathe. Letrivers be, pristine and free from deep valleysto seas. Letsinging streams stir slumbering leagues, awakening the dreamer and changingthe dream. Let mountains rise! Let forests thrive— primal communitiesbirthed to survive. Let kindred be wise, not compromise their courage and carefor greed’s beckoning lies. Letoceans race! Letnew waves chase ancient tides washing ashore cosmicgrace. Letrhythms of peace, each land embrace, all creatures together in Earth’ssacred space, creation now honored in Earth’s sacred space, all creatures together in Earth’s sacredspace. ejhs 5/12

Hi Dear Colleagues, I have been reading the postings under the above topic for many days now, but with a bit of growing discomfort. I have loved the panoply of beloved colleagues' names that all of our offerings have brought to my consciousness, and especially the wondrous tapestry of Robert Shropshire's full and unrepeatable life. My concern is that all this "naming," although I believe it is offered in authentic love, prayer and appreciation of "Black colleagues" in our Order, seems to be subtly suggesting (even representing) the racial separation that is still present in our collective consciousness, and therefore in our society. Perhaps this is one thread of what the UMC has named "white western privilege." To my knowledge we have not sparked a conversation anything like "Being Indian in the OE," for example, when Mali Balm, or Desmond Balm, or Shakuntala Jadhav or countless other colleagues died. I'm not negating the good and positive memories we have collectively generated because of Robert Shropshire's sudden and sad passing. I'm just thinking Shop would perhaps be singing to us -- "we are the red man, we are the black man, we are brown man, we are the yellow man, we are the tan man, we are the white man......" Just my two cents, offered in love to you all. Marilyn On Mon, 4 Jun 2012 13:11:40 -0700 (PDT) R Williams <rcwmbw(a)yahoo.com> writes: I'm not sure but I think it was Carlos Ollison.

Being Black in the Order Ecumenical
by R Williams 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

Joyce, Your brief comment, in remembering Robert Shropshire, about what it was like to be black and to have been in the O:E has me wanting to hear more about what that experience was like, and trying to recall our black Order colleagues prior to our being dispersed around the globe, embracing cultures of color everywhere. In addition to you, Carlos and Shropshire, I remember Larry Ward, Nadine Ward, Harold Williams and Richard whose last name was, I think, Epson. Other faces are pictured in my mind's eye whose names I cannot recall. Who were they? My interest is peaked by the fact that the white majority, in the U.S at least, is shrinking and will likely soon no longer exist, combined with the fact that there is a glimmer of indication that cultural diversity of all kinds is coming to be not only tolerated but embraced by more and more people. On behalf of the future, with an eye toward how all people may live together in peace on this flat, increasingly diverse and crowded planet, I would love to hear more of your reflections, as well as those of others, on what it was like then to be black and in the O:E and what, with 50 years of experience behind us, we all have learned. A conversation like this could be a fitting tribute to Robert, Nadine, Harold and others now departed who have impacted our community and consciousness over the years.
