Guest guest Posted February 27, 2001 Report Share Posted February 27, 2001 I am busy with teaching and research projects and hope to catch up on the e-mail over the weekend. Thank you for many beautiful posts and sharing your wisdom and for exemplifying the philosophy of nonviolence for which the list stands. Over the last few years I have noticed that it is very easy to have misunderstandings using the e-mail due to the lack of facial expressions and smiles that accompany this medium of communication. So choosing words with care is essential, especially in a Satsangh like this one. When I have made mistakes in the past or some one feels hurt by what I have said, usually offering an apology initiates the healing process. Fellowship involves mutual support and encouragement and we are fortunate to have many wise people with great depth of spiritual experience who inspire us. A balance has to be struck between everyone being natural and expressing themselves and yet not straying too far from the boundaries of friendship. Given my occasional odd sense of humor, it is not always easy for me either! Perhaps others can make observations on the possibility of miscommunications on e-mail. I know that Greg-Ji is our role model when it comes to e-mail communications and we would appreciate some guidance from Greg on this. And others, Amanda, Gloria, Jerry, Linda, Mike, Mark, Robert, Wim, Jessica, and anyone please feel free to share. In a virtual Satsangh like this one, the quality and the method of expression needs some care and sensitivity to others.
