Harrison-- << Our role in this situation becomes rather clear << ... << they only have to be reminded. Gently. Ahh. It is a sort of remembering the future then? >From what you say, I suspect it is something like that. My beginning point is perhaps a blend of the two pictures you posit: We are birthed forth (big bang?) from some being of consciousness, and we are ever after pulled forward to the same place. In between, we are seeking our return. Evolutionally, this means we see ourselves as homing in on an ever growing consciousness. (The next step seems to me to be gatherings of people--a development of consciousness *between* conscious beings.) This for me brings up images of the solar storms we have seen, where there is an eruption on the surface of the sun, gasses geyser up and out tens of thousands of miles and are then pulled back to the surface. Definitely an Eckhartian image. So what does this have to do with open space? We are opening space for conversations for the future--to create it, influence it, make it conscious, remember it. Yes, we are remembering our future. But knowing that the future has many branches, do we not need to consciously choose the direction? Is there not an ethic we need to put to work here? An ethic of what serves conversation, inclusivity, life? :-Doug.
