Wild Mind
towards supporting emergence of wild minded thinking
All too often when we are in crisis and pain, we are drugged away from the community's sight. Wheather we are suvivors of war at home, overseas, tramatic sudden insights to the horror of our culture, we are going outside what is proscribed for us to think or feel in. Some of us are undergoing spiritual transformation. We need to think out of our narrow mind ...learn more

Hi Rozz
. . and hopefully many others that join this group . . which I feel is highly necessary as part of this organisation. I was APALLED to find only one focus item (out of hundreds) that mentioned 'soul' or 'spirit'. We DO need, individually and collectively to break out of our narrow, logically minded, rut and start living with soul and a connection to that which is greater than any person, any organisation . . . and certainly greater than the rules we were brought up to follow . .. like apologising for raising our voice! Be true to the inner you, Roz. As you say, that won't be easy because of all the pressure to conform to the conventional ways . .. but maybe with some art or drama, or writing you could help to release all that TRUTH and awareness of a higher and better reality that NEEDS to come out. See www.pintados.co.uk for some ideas . .. and to see that you're not alone. Bless you and anybody else who's prepared to admit they feel something similar. WE're the one's who'll really make the difference in the emerging humanity. Keith |

Rozz, do you have a suggestion for the name of a new AOF that mentions the word soul or spirit? And would you perhaps advocate a system that allows you to create a new aof yourself, like a tag system?

My edge is when I've raised my voice and then I apologize for it, knowing that other people in my school are put off by it. I know it comes from two sources, one my early childhood deafness, but the other source is my family. We would be getting close to some hard feelings, and raising our voice would be the way we would start to argue and work it all out. Something I don't do with my middle and upper class friends. With their help I've gotten more sensitive to my own voice volume and notice it sooner. But I find that I bring it out among friends and people who are ok with it because of their own class background, or they are hard of hearing like me.
The big disability for me is the release that I have to struggle with to relieve in other ways, and in some cases there is not another way I can do it. So it hampers my ability to express really difficult feelings and find the words through the process of conversation at a higher volume for a little bit.
