Hi everyone 🙂
I’m truly honored Di that you find our friendship valuable in both our lives ♥ And by the way, I also have the same problem of trying to write down every specific point I want to discuss & mention, but then I gave up too, because I found that this will make me write very long long long posts, so now I keep up with just short & f…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing with us the film discussion, I will certainly watch the film, read the discussion, & re-discuss it with you 🙂
I understand now better your point of criticism toward the presenters. You mean not integral between human & non-human. I absolutely agree with you about that…

Hi everyone 🙂 I have three points to add here:
1* If I understand your point correctly Orla, you mean to criticize people who talk about tolerance toward the other as we all share the same world, because they actually maintain the idea that there “is” an “other” rather than saying that we are actually “one” not “self vs. other”?
If that’s what…[Read more]

Hi Orla,,,
I absolutely agree with you that our cosmic integrative vision should not be limited to the boundaries of education & learning (in school/college/academia), but should also overflow to all other spheres of our lives – on all levels, individual every-day life, group activities, social & global organization…

Noha Tarek replied to the topic The role of spiritual direction in deep time journeying in the forum my forum new one 7 years, 3 months ago
That’s great Di 🙂 I think the best thing is that you write through practice. It’s hard to imagine this, unless you do it in practice with children. You can spend a regular time with children in KG, or even better, with children in orphanages, or perhaps even with refugees (along with international organizations’ centers in Australia). It would be…[Read more]

Thank you Di for your reply 🙂
I didn’t completely understand what you’re working on now. Did you mean that you’re writing a paper/book about 40 values to nurture in children, that link new knowledge with traditions?
I think that for the children to build on their own cultural values, based on their unique experiences, they have to be guided by…[Read more]

Hi everyone & thank Di for this beautiful thread… I know this is a very late addition, but I just read through your wonderful posts…
Adding my own “reflection”, as Teilhard advises us… It’s very brilliant Di the expression that you mentioned about coming through the lens of the Universe Story upon this Network here, trying to “free…[Read more]

This is a wonderful post & comments…
There are a lot to comment on, so I’ll only suffice with a few…
I agree that the word “tolerance – Tasamohh in Arabic -” is not sufficient here. I remember a teacher of mine (can’t remember exactly when or where) explained to us in class that it’s not good to say that (as the majority of Muslims in Egypt)…[Read more]

Dear Brian,,,
That is exactly what I’m searching for also Brian. For a while now I’ve been searching for materials to teach Big History to children (ages 6:12) in a charity organization here in Egypt. Though it’s a bit harder for me, because I haven’t taught children before (my specialization is political science research). I’ve currently…[Read more]

Thank you SO MUCH for notifying us with this wonderful MOOC Jennifer ♥ It is so amazing.

Dear Richard, Juliana, & Dick,,,
Thank you so much for this beautiful comment, which has truly moved me 🙂 I’m very happy to see that you have the same appreciation for human empathy & compassion as I do, which it seems arises from our common interest in psychology.
I sadly, cannot claim that I closely understood the boy’s wish to die or the…[Read more]

Yes absolutely Noha. I completely understand since we have the same concerns from people inside traditional religious frameworks here as well. One of our goals on the Network is to help people feel more comfortable with these views and to know that they don’t have to choose, they can hold both, and even enhance both. Hoping to offer some programs about this in 2017. Would love to hear any feedback you might have as we plan next year.

I truly cried when reading your comments. I don’t know what to say! Thank you so much for being tolerant with me, with all my faults, confusions, & misunderstandings!

Kyle,
You have to realize that you hold your own prejudices that the social, economic, & political context around you forces upon your psych. Thinking that you are an unbiased observer hinders your ability to understand & analyze the dilemma of violence going on, instead when you lay bare your prejudices in front of you, this would be an…[Read more]

Again I agree with what you say, which you say so beautifully, & sadly – because I know this is not reality – I think that if enough people in the world think like you, it would’ve been a different plant. I hope you’re not angry with me for my, perhaps shockingly different, view towards those groups, but I look forward to you being tol…[Read more]
