Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 You know that a lot of this Nis play is just fore play Fore people what are too shy for actual one on one contact, At least in many cases, Right? Although, it's true that some actual friendships and communications do evolve out of these lists, no question. (I almost visited Toom, as almost did bob.) But that old fear of intimacy thing, is that what's going on, here, with bob? It was Eric Burne who coined the " games people play " cliche precisely in suggesting games to be played out of " fear of intimacy " bob and I used to correspond via e-mail, but guess who lost the thread, repeatedly. Seems I see a pattern here. Now Anna, surely you of all people, see a clear distinction between actual dialogue and game playing, don't you? I mean, you and I actually did have some sincere dialog, some pages ago. I found it quite refreshing! Remember? I wrote bob a sincere e-mail, just now. I hope he takes it to heart.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Foreplay? LOL. And to those who know, know, and to those who don't, don't________________(fill in THAT blank);-) It seems that in personal relationships we are ever refining our boundaries AND simultaneously returning to ourselves and one another. The skin is the first degree of separation (before the net, before vast communication became available, were written words, before written words, words, before words, subtle and not-so-subtle body to body communications). Now we are returning to the written word, and we don't know to whom we are speaking in these venues. Seems about right, n'est-ce pas? As all is in a state of flux, one needs to be LIBERATED enough to allow the " other " to change, and in so doing, change happens, to oneself and the exterior/interior world as OneSelf. So, the question is: Is Life and internal effect of an external process, or an internal process of an external effect. Yes, both AND neither. Herein lies the paradox, and we remain in the paradox of this instruction. Yes, Bill, we and some of us have had more personal dialogue outside the Niz forum. Some of us have called one another on the phone. Some of us have come to visit one another as friends. Life is Good. Love, Anna p.s. So, we meet on the net, in private words in e-mail, on telephone communications, or vis-a- vie we sometimes reverse the order of things, sometimes not. HUGS TO ALL.
