Well, who does Donal Trump invite? Not Muslims obviously. I just read "Talking to the Enemy" by Scott Atran https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14848338-talking-to-the-enemy
Yes, it's about opening space... I'll write a book review some day. /Jan To: [email protected] Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2015 09:49:23 -0500 Subject: Re: [OSList] Open Space wherever, however, whenever, with whomever as often as you can From: [email protected] Wait. Is Donald Trump invited? His ideas? Are those who have thus far repressed similar thoughts and feelings as expressed by Trump...are they also invited? Because: if he is not, if they are not, if those ideas are not, then: the space that is purportedly open is in fact closed. VERY closed. Perhaps this dynamic is what causing Trump's various expressions to resonate? Perhaps this dynamic is in fact energizing Trump's campaign? http://www.trans4mind.com/jamesharveystout/repress.htm Repression. It is similar to suppression in that a thought or feeling or emotion is not expressed -- but in repression, we deny that the element even exists.

These are the words of fear. Unfortunately they are also the words of a demagogue, seeking to play upon the fears of others. That there is danger is clear, but an infinitely greater danger is that we sacrifice our essential humanity to our fear. Sealing our borders, closing our doors and windows... we close our space. And while it may appear safer, that is an allusion. Life cannot be lived without space to live in. We are no exception. Recently we have been celebrating the warmth and depth of this global community. It is a wonder. But the beauty of this community is not an inherent gift, I believe. Rather it is the reflection of what we do. Opening Space. Opening space is not magic. We did not invent it. It is not even complicated. At root level it is simply inviting people to be fully who and what they are, to greet each other and to enjoy the space. We can do it. We can invite others to do it. And now is the time.
