Excellent! I taped most of it. One note - I heard some months back that vitamin D is related to calcium absorption, and that the levels of D taken in by our ancestors (naturally) is much higher than today with our basically indoor 'environments'. I have some doc on that if you're interested. You rock, dear! I'm in an adjustment period, post-FL visit. Feels strange. The healing modality I went into was good, great. Yet, the environmental vibes were..., well, I'm still coming back up to my home station. Need to adjust with continuity... Finished Reich's "Listen Little Man", and now into "The Mass Psychology of Fascism." The epigraph (Reich's) struck me. It goes "Love, work and knowledge are the well- springs of our life. They should also govern it." This struck me deeply because this directly relates to my deepest mystic insight that "spirit" has three major qualities -- love, creativity, and intelligence. I have yet to encounter any other mystic or philosophic insight which names these three qualities, and yet Reich did in 1946. Love, creativity, and intelligence in "pure energy" form are correct, but in human life, they take the forms of love, work, and knowledge. Love is love, work (proper) is creative and involves creativity, and knowledge is directly related to intelligence. My insight was of spirit, ie. life force, and Reich's work was based upon his understanding of life energy, so there seems a strong connection. Gibran said that "work is love made visible," but I think it's closer to right to say that work is life-force made visible which necessarily includes love, creativity, and intelligence. Seems that love is the more accessible to most people, so I gig Gibran's words, for the folk at least. :) Well, enough mystic rambling. I got the creative inflow/clarity I was hoping for during the time away. It's simple but complex. It involves laying out functional spirituality first and foremost, and then critiquing dysfunctional religion in the light of functional spirituality. Clarity I have, time I lack. Still, will be done. Light & Love, Bob
