Personal Update
I was updating my biodata for 
, and thought it might save some time to post the update here as well, as a supplement to my usual droll links and Bush-bashing.
I should probably also mention that I attended the Landmark Forum a month or so back, and begin my advanced course tomorrow, as I continue to attend the weekly seminar, for which I volunteered to serve as a group leader. As you can see, I am fairly serious about reinventing myself. I have little choice as unenployment doesn't last forever and doesn't pay all that much anyway. In a week or soI may post something about Landmark, which did grow out of EST, but doesn't much resemble what I heard about EST in the early '70s. Meanwhile, I finished Reality by Peter Kingsley, and all I can say is, Read it!
A couple of months ago I volunteered to serve as list manager and web master for an upcoming conference chaired by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seraphimsigrist on Archpriest Alexander Men, a hero of the Russian resistance murdered in 1990, presumably by the KGB. This is now up and running, as you can see. In other news, I recently completed an essay on "Pragmatic Idealism: The Power of Purposeful Thinking", in response to a call for papers on The Power of Purpose. It was interesting to develop some spiritual directions for the new century from the writings of the man to whom I devoted my doctoral dissertation some thirty years ago, and those of the Quaker visionary who had inspired me a decade before that. As I look at the practical points at the end I seem to be looking at the outline of a book. First, though, I must finish up my thoughts on the disaster of 9/11/2001 and the evil course our history has taken since -- and perhaps even before.
