I know exactly what you mean by a "different psychic space." This was abundantly clear as I moved from the U.S. to China and back. In fact, it hits you like a ton of bricks the minute you get out of the air port.
But the witness can get deeper than the "national psyche." I believe that Isaiah had a great deal of insight into this when he speaks of the "escapees from the nations." So, from where I sit, I cannot know if Bhairitu's "witness" is deeper than the national psyche, nor can you. a --- TurquoiseB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey, some of us aren't attached to what is going > on.
