Dear Dick Mays,
I don't know you, but I am determined to let you know that Peter Wallace's talk
here is the best thing that has ever come out of the Movement. Him. His
credibility. His gentleness. His serenity. His humility. His goodness. Quite an
awesome experience, especially for someone with

You can delete your own posts off the FFL website.
Peter Wallace is a great spoken man of dignity and lessons in life.
Nice video shared here.

Thanks. I was able to delete that first post, but not the second, since I have
posted a third, which does not contain the introductory remarks annexed to the
second post (and also corrects another reference to PR instead of PW). I'll try
it again (getting rid of that second post); but if I can't
Dear Mark,
Very grateful, as always, for this thoughtful and discerning post. I searched
for evidence (in general) of what you have told me here (of course I knew
nothing about Peter Wallace, and naturally was entirely ignorant of specific
more ambivalent takes on him by persons who were close
If you will permit me to say so, vajradhatu, this judgment does not produce the
experiential evidence (immediate, intimate, since it must be based upon *what
you travelled through in watching that video*) of its truthfulness. Sure one
can pluck the words PW uses *right out of the context within

I think I am going to return to my purported Unity Consciousness, make you my
skin boy, and then years later, read what you have to say about me: this, so I
can get a true insight into myself. Because I think you might be able to tell
me somethingif you knew me like you get to know othersthat
Yeah, I enjoyed hearing him talk, a lot. The goofy looking guy, not so much,
but he didn't interrupt very often.

Most definitely. Because I happen to know, by past experience, that it would be
true.

Well I choose to rate it. Because even I (who am a keen student of irony)
wondered for a while there. But must stop here: I don't want to become the
object of irony in my appreciation of how you nearly drew me in by yoursfirst

Dear, dear, Robin,
You so love the deep end (as, I must admit, I do, too)...
My experience of Peter Wallace is confined to the seventies, but, back then, he
definitely had his quirky, lunatic, abrasive, dark side just like the rest of
us. I would be very surprised if that has changed, though, I

Yes, loving the deep end and long windedness, but always appreciated, at least
by me...
Yes, of course I considered the possibility that, over the years, the
arrogance, assaultiveness and, even, in some ways, simple-mindedness that I
perceived in him nearly forty years ago has been tempered or e

No buddying in public allowed? Is that a written or unwritten FFL protocol?

Thank you for your explanation and thoughts on irony, especially because I
often am flat-footed in the post-modern world.
As I said, it was complex. Something was evoked that went far beyond irony.
And it was meant to draw one in. Let's leave it at that for now and give it a
little more time.
