I don't think that it was an OS which DID NOT WORK, it work as it could and should, and it was the start, but the start which was not as I planned - working for the whole day, as we were out of topics, people asked me what we will do next, so I said that now we shall discuss the results and it will be the closing session, which was very optimistic for all who was 'strong' enough to stay up to the end. and also I got a call that the woman wants to make the same kind of meeting for the 'owners of the facilities' but with many people (as much as possible) invited. she said she liked the form of the meeting.
Elena -- I marvel at your tenacity. When and if the people of your country wake up and find themselves in a place that really feels good, and works well for the - - it will because of the continuing efforts of people such as your self who believed in them and continued to open space for their lives to grow in. As you described so well -- some will choose to enter that space and some won't. I am not surprised the government officials were slow to enter. In my experience, such people often see their job as The "Closers" of Space. . . so why would they want to support something that would put them out of business? And then there was "that woman" who called. She obviously "got it". When that happens to me it makes everything worth while. And for sure -- what actually happens has little if anything to do with what I might have planned. Which is almost inevitably a blessing. My plans look so weak compared to what actually happens. Great to hear from you.
