Brilliant ePamphlet @ http://www.mintzberg.org/sites/default/files/rebalancing_society_pamphlet.pdf



Read the whole thing and love the integration between Private and Public Organisations, the Right and Left and the importance of the third way/leg achieved through the plural civic/civil community where the whole of the many becomes more than the parts of the collections of individual drives and desires.

Bernadette Roberts Interview with Stephan Bodian

Found this interview @ http://www.spiritualteachers.org/b_roberts_interview.htm

Interview with Bernadette Roberts Reprinted from the book Timeless Visions, Healing Voices, copyright 1991 by Stephan Bodian (www.stephanbodian.org). In this exclusive interview with Stephan Bodian, (published in the Nov/Dec 1986 issue of YOGA JOURNAL), author Bernadette Roberts describes the path of the Christian contemplative after the experience of oneness with God.

I loved the clarity and challenge to convention - the congruence of Bernadette's "experience" illuminates the truth of her understanding.
