here are some of my thought:
1) I'd love to see the discussion have a bit of pre-planning, an agenda of
sorts. I don't believe I really have enough of the big picture to help
with this.
2) It might also be interesting to have some sort of "goal" in mind. I
realize that the true outcome will not be determined until after the
discussion, but that doesn't precude us from trying, as a group, to write
up some sort of summary or something following each topic of discussion.
Looking forward to it all!

I'm not an expert on anything, and I know nothing about systems theory.
My only credential is a 'no-credential' credential.
But you know that, and I am sure it doesn't bother you.
I will participate, if you like (but remember, not even I know what to
expect from a character like me... :-) ).

Hi Thomas,
I'm very busy right now, but your proposal sounds worthwhile to me, and I
would, if invited, be interested in participating.

Your idea is admirable, but I am not impressed, principally because of
my experience with the great inefficiency and wastefulness of the chit-
chat messages online.
Thus, please take me off your lists altogether for now. I am overburdened
with messages, mostly what I call junk email and information pollution;
I wish you well with your project, and no doubt you will hear from again
in the future, when I can get some time to participate.

Thanks for sending this, Thomas, and for including me in your plan for
discussion. It sounds very interesting, and I applaud your initiative!
Make Time Good,

Tom,
I think this is a splendid idea and I would certainly want to subscribe to receive ongoing messages.
You might well include Ken Burkhardt from Ryerson who has a handle on the
Aristotelian concept of unity through shared substances
Ill see if I can make the time.
The kinds of unity which are meaningful to me are:
a) The unity of "spaceship earth"
b) The unity through coherence and recognized complementarities of all (real)
science.
Also, - the dis-unity implicit in deconstructionism and some forms of
constructionism, and relativism can deny us the leverage to make a better
world, or even a viable one!..

perhaps it is because I have several key projects already in process which
take up my email activity.

A Seminar on wholeness and integration would be most interesting to me as I scan what mainstream educators consider integration and wholeness....
Glad to see you back. Did I ever tell you how much I enjoyed the papers you sent me? I'm moving to a smaller place now so hope that means I have more time to spend on line....
Cheers,
Barbara
