laughing because different strokes, etc. I rarely liked the gazing. OTOH, I wasn't comfortable attending and NOT participating in gazing. And they don't like people coming late to avoid the gazing...
WDM gave me a steady spiritual family when I first left campus. I'll always be grateful for that. Even so, I was never looking for another theory of consciounsess, etc. so I didn't mind their lack of that. And I do think the whole mutuality angle is an important one that very few others discuss. Didn't go last night but am busting with curiosity about it (-: ________________________________ From: Alex Stanley <j_alexander_stan...@yahoo.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2012 12:49 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Saniel Bonder in Fairfield visits --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "feste37" <feste37@...> wrote: > > > > And it cost $20 too.

I wasn't at all impressed the first time I went to see him and Linda at the FF library, about 10 years ago. But, on his next trip to FF, he was here with Pascal Salesses, a WD teacher who had just moved to FF, and I felt a connection with her. I'm grateful that Saniel started WD, but I've always connected better with some of the other teachers. And, I can't even begin to get through his books. For me, the WD experience had nothing to do with ideas; it was all about the gazing.
