I think the mailing list experience can be more than sharing

views and experiences. I see greater familiarity happening

in the chat room. I see people coming together in person and

liking it. Yeah, the email experience is sanitized and

convenient, but there are ways of bringing it closer to the

nature of real meetings. That's a whole other subject.

some very specialized interests which are not that common, I've come to meet

a great deal of people that I've known on the Internet and some quite

miraculous events have occurred because of it.

 

One current example, a friend of mine locally (Mark an anaetheologist) ran a

medical mission to Sarajevo, and was skilled in putting this sort of team

together. So, I asked Mark to organize. I had met someone else (a doc on

the internet) who said the need in Nepal was great. One of that country's

princes is a very dear and old friend of mine (Rajiv Dhungel). I put the

three of them together and guess where they are now? In Nepal offering a

team of specialists, including two energy healers who work with two of the

surgeons, to the impoverished, (with my sister who loves this running around

the world on medical missions).

 

The Internet is one of the most incredible and remarkeable tools of our Age,

and I think we have only seen the very tip of the incredible capacity this

vast network has. The other thing that I've seen is that people's ability to

trust and know those they meet, and to develop their intuitive skills is

unbelievable. The more people you meet IRL (in real life) that you've met on

the Internet, the more you know how valid your intuition or that energy

reading the fingers on the keyboard is :-) Try it, you'll like it ... *g*
