It fascinates and frustrates me that there is still a powerful belief among certain groups of reactionary thinkers (and I do not just mean America's religious right) that the enlightenment in some way negates human spirituality.  From another point of view, quite the opposite could be true. 

Thank you for sharing Jon Ramer's video...I think his work is a fascinating new art form.

p.s. During Black History Month you may be interested in reading a very, very different interpretation of the impact of George Washington Carver's life on humanity...he was much more than just "the peanut man."  (http://www.theseedswesow.com/)

Hi Edwin - Thanks for the offer the friend each other.  I am not sure what happens as a result.   I don't get this gift thing yet, either, but please accept this bowl of stones.

 Blessings, Katharine http://JoYW.org

Thanks Edwin, 

Somehow I will get involved.  I am a recently retired nurse and also have a small farm.  When this small farm is ready, I want to use it for teaching our mutual values of compassion, generosity and wisdom.  I will be in touch.

Thank you again, Anita Dobrzelecki, Bellbrook OH

thank you for the honor of your friendship, both here and on Facebook!

namaste,

Happy to join this group, Edwin, and great timing since I was reflecting this morning on the need to develop spiritual values in children (compassion; lovingkindness) and infuse these values throughout our systems (educational; economic; healthcare).
Would you like to have a conversation about this? Are you also in Barbara Marx Hubbard's "ACE" training? Blessings, Gail Grace.

Hello Edwin

Thank you for the invitation.

Good wishes

Kevin Price
