<br>
Thank-you Toni for your clarification of yours and Ron' focus for
Thespiritexpress. I often feel that when enough people put out
their intention/desire that change occurs in a direction that
group is desiring. The process "polices" itself. This also is
what I hold in my heart that the world will come together in
harmony when enough of us continue to project it out to the people
around us and beyond.<br>
<br>
Love to you all<br>
<br>
Carlie<br>

<div dir="auto"><span>Hello Dear Community, </span>
<div><span>We are back from a few days away to be with family
for a Memorial Service…... and off our computers, taking a
bit of a screen break. </span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>As we get caught up with the posts on Spirit Express
which Ron and I have read and discussed……we would like to
address the current conversation about our opinion regarding
the appropriateness of</span></div>
<div><span>politcal posts on the Spirit Express. </span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>When we installed The Spirit Express we visualized a
list serve that, up until now, fit our vision of a place to
post inspirational films, poetry, art, photography, and
local events </span></div>
<div><span>as well as a place to ask for prayers, support, or
encouragement and also a medium to address comments or
inquiries or share links regarding the non-dual groups we
host here.</span></div>
<div><span>We wanted it to be high vibe, neutral…..even
"non-dual," if possible. </span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>Both Ron and I believe in freedom of speech, and we
do our best to listen and consider opposing views than our
own AND we also feel this list serve is not the appropriate
place to share</span></div>
<div><span>politics at this time.</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>We are reticent to make any rules about this ….we
have observed already, that since many folks have shared
they would prefer this not be a place for politics that</span></div>
<div><span>is enough to curb that activity. We appreciate this
is a list serve serving itself, specifcally in this regard.
</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>We are aware there are many different political
veiwpoints in our Spirit House community and for many this
means exercising patience, open heartedness, and respect in
the face of</span></div>
<div><span>oppossing beliefs and opinions. For us, this is
where the spriritual work of non-judgement gets the road
test, so there is always that to consider and reflect upon
in these circumstances.</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>There is so much more that could be said here about
how, when, with whom and where to express our politics.
Suffice to say, the 12 Principles of Attitudinal Healing,
the Teachings of the Way of</span></div>
<div><span>Mastery, The Love Book series, The Course in
Miracles, The Pathwork……to name a few…..are all useful and
rich resources to help us stay grounded, present and open
hearted in</span></div>
<div><span>these very challenging times. </span></div>
