hi Helene,
Hmm, I actually experience your English as very good! And I experience
your thinking as /excellent/:
"...So i think we have but one way: let things happen, trying nothing,
giving up ends and means more and more people will /progressively
participate and feel the effects of OS, relax their
soul...*"progressively" can be very fast! */
This is 100% aligned with the topic (and more importantly, the spirit)
of this thread:
"Open Space wherever, however, whenever, with whomever as often as you can"
We might consider inviting the unlovely, and the uninviting.
Let's consider what it means to be open. DO open. All the way

but indeed: if we invite very widely or even aim at "Trump-ists" and,
for instance, at a OS 50% of the participants happen to be,that sort
of very new participants, the spirit of OS perhaps have no chance to
be really present, so it will be no OS. So these persons wouldn't even
imagine what is OS!
But nobody can guess what proportion may give a critical mass in each
different circonstances, and it would be vain to try how to control
that!!!
So i think we have but one way: let things happen, trying nothing,
giving up ends and means
more and more people will progressively participate and feel the
effects of OS, relax their soul..."progressively" can be very fast!
i mean, if it occurs that in an OS people have all the same points of
vue, the same kind of ideas and purposes, then it's clear that it's no
more an OS; if it works really, the range of participants will become
wider and wider; so i would say
a - it is most important to keep caring and loving feelings precisely
towards people who have agressiv, spiteful or scornful attitudes
(perhaps very rich and "powerful" persons get "bad" because nobody is
praying for them nor giving them true hugs),
b - but let OS by itself achieve his mind; just pay attention to
avoide any restraining of, or diverting from OS: "do i / does
everybody feel really free to have any sort of ideas, to ask any sort
of question, to propose any sort of workshop? is there real freedom?
sorry for writing long AND in this awful english...

Hey Daniel, I don't think Mr. Trump has any problem finding his
breakout in the open space of the contemporary world. I find the
issue exactly to be that he wishes to close off the space to others.
He's being a space invader. How do you handle a space invader? Maybe
if we both gave him a big hug.

If we invite the uninviting and love the unlovely, the rest is up

Is it not?
Isn't that how opening space actually goes?

Yes, it's about opening space...
I'll write a book review some day.

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?

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.

Donald Trump has said what some people here in the USA (and
elsewhere in the world) have also been saying and feeling.
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.
