Olfana: I would be happy to have whatever statement I now make reproduced upon your lists. I enjoy, very much, the communications that occur there , and at one point, S made the joking comment that she felt the Teachers were, indeed, signed on with their own E-mail addresses-- , , etc.--and most certainly, S struck a note of truth in this. Anytime you are engaged in these communications, discussions, and discoveries of the ways in which you perceive us, what you wish to learn from us, what you are learning from us; this is the heart o f the matter for us as Teachers. And we study you all vigorously in those moments. Do not doubt that when you phone each other, we are conference calling in those moments, that the letters you write to each other are shared by us. The poems and personal journals that you write of your interest and ongoing research into this process, we are privy to these, my dear students. (Smiling) I hope you are comfortable with this thought because it is unavoidable. We are there with you, and we intend to remain so. I would say one brief point regarding this. We are not Peeping Toms. We do not wish to invade your own territory or personal zone, and therefore if, indeed, you ever choose not to have us observing or watching you, simply think the thought, I wish my privacy, now. And you’ll have it, I guarantee you.

Therefore, these E-mail lists are something of an unplanned, but greatly appreciated, manifestation of your own ability to take this ball and run with it. And we watch the lists with great interest. Indeed, those of you who feel The list is my group, now. This is where I go for the main sense of what is about with this Teaching Mission. We welcome you there! We are certainly there with you. We want you to feel affiliated with this broad sense of the outreach and connection that can occur with these lists. An d we hope that you can, indeed, see that this potential for a sense of strong caring and bondedness, this brotherhood, sisterhood--S coined a word which we enjoy--this family-hood of Gods children coming together, exposing themselves, expressing their thoughts, their concerns, with the trust that they will be heard with appreciation and respect, not with a desire for condescension or attack but, I am listening. Please speak to me. We relish the way in which you are sensing this growing family-hood on the lists. And we feel as much a part of these groups as you do.
