Chris & Michael, Oh Yes, how you have surprised us all!! And is doing so, you have opened the way to a deeper, reflection and ‘trans-formation' of some very core values that we need to re-visit. i.e.copyright etc.etc. In that moment of surprise, we were shifted in some way. Each of us re-ac

Dear Chris, My only suggestion would be to have the 5 o' clock news after dinner. This way, it can run until it runs out. In Spain, at one of the OT symposiums, we did this, and 20 people gathered after dinner for "high play" and whatever needed to be expressed. There was silence, where peo
