Actually, now that I’ve written that, I wish I could take it back, because I also recollect that it was the people with the least expectations of anything happening from the session (just giving it a “what the heck” shot) that seemed to get the most out of it. There is something about trying or expectation that seems to interfere with receptivity. So let’s leave it as me looking forward to it more than you ;-)

Great article, Dave. This is my favorite sort of article you write. I think I share with you a desire to help people envision the world they most want. In fact, I just blogged a couple hours ago about using Tonglen as a practice that affects the subconscious and helps bring that vision to light for people. I also really look forward to getting together with you when you are in CA and gifting you with a spiritual energy channeling session. I have found that many people gain a lot of clarity and creative energization around their heart-paths over the 1-6 month period following the sessions. I suspect that will happen for you too, simply because I’ve seen it so many times. It’s funny but I think I want this session to happen more badly than you do – LOL

Thinking about all those intentions . . . isn’t that how they pave the road to hell? We could shift to being excited by a possibility so that the possibility starts to live us. Flogging ourselves to do more hasn’t worked so well so far. It’s the context that’s decisive. Problem context means slogging; possibility context means adventure, when we live it with others.

i have been numb and lost for 5 years now, i had a child and chose to leave my work as a graphic designer, to focus on my child and at that time i stumbled upon Derrick Jensen”s books, the veil of truth had been lifted and became depressed just waiting for civilization to come to an end. With the help of your blog and book, now after a long journey into fear, uncertainty and the feeling of helplessness(this was holding me back) i ‘m trying to find my sweet spot, I’m an artist, and love to make people feel good, help them through my art. I will see where this will take me. Maybe i shall go into art therapy? Remembered for giving and smiling through good and bad.thank you for all your good intentions.

Hey Dave --My friend Tony wrote an interesting piece today about switching our attention from subverting, co-opting or rebelling to living alongside -- ie, creating something new that can co-exist until civilization falls behind and ceases to exist. Maybe you'll find something useful there to help decrease the number of intentions you feel are... necessary...Janeneps... I hope that link worked for a change ;-)

By the way, Dave, keep on writing by all means. I am one of the many obscure Dave Pollard fans of the world that you inspire every now and then.

I just want to be remembered for making little kids laugh when they play with me. Because nothing makes me more happy.

Looking forward to the novel, Dave. It’s quite nice, if emotionally taxing, writing fiction – and you might be able to reach a different audience.K.
