I saw this paragraph on the State of the World Forum listserv that I've just joined:

During the retreat, the Forum entered into a strategic alliance with
Stephen Covey whereby Stephen will assist in the development of the
human resource and process technology for Forum 2000. Steven will also
host a series of dialogues, entitled 'Masters of Leadership' during the
event. In addition, Franklin Covey has offered special access to the
Covey leadership seminars for all those involved in the development of
Forum 2000. Those of you interested in this program, please contact Jim
Hickman at the Forum offices (jhickman@worldforum.org).

It made me think about how mental things stay at conferences, and that as the great minds do their wondrous gymnastics, perhaps it would be even more wondrous if the miraculous domain was in play. For all that could be thought up by the mind, I think about what more could be received with no mind in play.

I've lately come across someone who does the best invocation of the sacred that I've ever come across. He did it for a little packed house at the Bodhi Tree Bookstore in Hollywood on his first stop on a book tour this week. When I saw the above paragraph, I flashed on him doing this for the whole Forum – taking everyone into that space where they are witness to the unreality of the physical from the All that is beyond it.

You can get the flavor on his Web site. It's Jim Dreaver at http://www.jimdreaver.com. He lives in Sebastapol, and maybe you can get him to pay a visit and do his thing for you. Also, I could send you a tape I made of it.

Have started a new WebRadio Show. Get there from my home page. Would love to be at the Forum with my microphone...

Good luck on the job. Hope it's juicy and not stuffy.
