I did something new - I wrote a post but didn't send it right away - I really don't have the luxury of sitting on the computer more, but just wanted to say...
Hi Adam, We seem to have an interesting topic that people want to discuss and thank you for your interesting and stimulating views. I am probably being naive...
Hi Bill, Yes I totally agree that we can find differences. There are possibly an infinite number of ways we can differentiate ourselves. How we choose to do...
Hi Linda, Yes we can easily see ourselves as being different and you have expressed many ways in which we can do that, all of which I would agree with. At the...
Hi Klara, I love the comments about potential and seeds. I thought I better recheck the definition of levels. Here are the relevant descriptions from the...
Hello Linda, I think it is up to each of us to decide what to teach as part of macrobiotics. If you want to include yin and yang and the five elements you...
Hi Linda, Personally I do not think we need any kind of replacement. We can just be as we are and interact as is appropriate at the time. We can live life as...
Dear Simon/Group, I wanted to comment on the teaching issues presented here. Let me take some extreme examples to illustrate the first point. Do you go to...
Dear Simon, My apologies. By capitalising the Path I meant a spiritual Path and so my questioning didn’t help. My own view is that our lives concern the...
Hi, Simon, Just got up and have to run off for a few hours. Will answer this first as it is so simple. Yes, I agree with you completely here. Thanks, ...
Actually, no. it is not making sense. It is not making sense because you are ignoring an important aspect of the teaching/learning relationship. I also ...
Thank you Adam for this inspiring post! Melanie -----Original Message----- From: Adam Sent: Mar 1, 2009 11:06 AM To: moderndaymacrobiotics@yahoogroups.com ...
Hi Adam, I wonder whether we have very different interpretations of teaching. For me teaching is the process of education. Education is to draw out from...
Hi Bill, I like your Chelsea example. I watched Arsenal draw yet again yesterday. I love the tribal experience. I find it interesting that the two places it...
Hi Bill, I used Buddha as an example as he apparently grew up in a wealthy pampered environment and seemed to suddenly change, in the process starting a whole...
Oh sooo many posts since I last was here!! I did read them and am way to tired to focus on all of this right now as I have a lot of family around for the next...
Hi, Simon: This post may be slightly to the left of topic. I'm really appreciating your thoughts on this topic--very grounded, balanced, and clear-sighted....
Hi Adam, How are you? When people apply to join the group, I have to sometimes make hard value judgements because I realize from many years of experience that...
Hi Chad, As soon as my post left for the internet, yours arrived in my inbox! How are you? Here are some links <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eckhart_Tolle> + ...
Dear Simon, Maybe I am wrong here as well but I perceive again an impasse, and choose to analyse in the same way. I don’t know of Byron Katy so I cannot...
Dear Simon, Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my posts in detail. Maybe I am wrong but I perceive an impasse, and within that impasse I choose ...
Dear Daniela, Just a brief answer as it is off-topic (please feel free to PM if you wish to discuss further). Capitalism is about the accumulation of money, or...
Hi, Simon, Â I was part of a discussion group on A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle and listened to all the 2 our webcasts on the book at oprah.com which he led. He...
Thanks Bill, Lots of interesting points to think about. I do not know either the exact details of when, how or why people had these great insights into life...
Hi there, My middle name is Byrn. I’d happily look up the person you mentioned as he seems interesting but there is absolutely no connection. Communication....
We adore barter. We use it often. Unfortunately, we get 'taken' more often with barter as well. Inequities (gross as opposed to minor, which I never mind)...
People can come to their own realizations without teaching. Such discovery certainly needs no teaching. When I teach writing or meditation, while I am wanting...
Dear Simon, I remember being very open to all kinds of possibilities as a child and then again around the age of 14. I have always considered that learning is...
Dear Simon, How are you? At the same time we can question our personal desire to differentiate, label, sort, create hierarchies, levels etc. I think this...
