Dear Kurt,
Thank you very much for your very important and interesting report on
Interspiritual movement (ISM) that began in the U.S. in which you occupy a one
of leading positions.
I am also very grateful to you for your support of the GHA letter to G20
leaders about the global peace science (GPS) in other personal email.
These two spiritual movements - GPS and ISM - are closely related and are
united in harmony at all of them diversity. This unity requires a clear mind
articulation of sound, as well as mutual support, participation and solidarity.
In relation to your report, I would like to add the GHA letter to G20 the
mention of your Interspiritual and interfaith movement in a number of
requirements for any option of the GPS in follows editing of paragraph 3.6. in
this letter:
3.6. Applications of the global peace science as the theories of global
justice, global law (especially human rights), global politics, global ecology,
global democracy, general and complete disarmament, global peace education,
harmony between religion and science, global culture of peace, global
interfaith harmony and global ?interspiritual movement? or ?universal
spirituality?.
Do you agree with this addition?
I am pleased to invite all members of your movement to support this GHA Letter,
sign it and send me feedback so I can include your names to the list of
co-authors of this letter. Could we hope for your solidarity, participation and
support for GPS creation through the G20? This will strengthen the position of
each of us, and most importantly - it will strengthen the position of peace
before the face of the powerful position of a war. Do you agree with that?
We invite your movement to discuss and support this letter GHA. Could you
extend it in your movement and at all your scheduled meetings in August -
October? It would be a real Interspirituality for global peace and against war!
I'm sure, spontaneous energy of Interspirituality many times will rise from the
union with the science of global peace.
With love, best harmony wishes,
Leo

Subject: UPDATES from & about the Interspiritual Movement's summer & fall
meetings
Hello GHA Colleagues, Leo, Bruce etc:
As many of you knew, I was going to be involved all summer and into the fall
with the many meetings, informal and formal, coming together about the emerging
"universal spirituality" or "interspiritual movement", described in great
detail in the book THE COMING INTERSPIRITUAL AGE
(www.thecominginterspiritualage.com).
We began with meetings in Colorado in June with Fr. Thomas Keating (renowned
interfaith pioneer) and members of his 25-year Snowmass Inter-Religious
Initiative from which came the famous "8 Points of Agreement" and later the
"Nine Elements of a Univeral Spirituality" elaborated by Bro. Wayne Teasdale in
his seminal works about "interspirituality" and in the Snowmass Initiative book
THE COMMON HEART (2006). I made sure I shared the ABC of Harmony and other
information on GHA and CIHE there. See also the film on Fr. Keating and
Interspirituality show last year at similar gatherings (Global Spirit/ Link TV,
www.linktv.org/globalspirit)
Many of us will gather again in New York City, August 23-28th (staying with
friends, family, colleagues) etc. for more time to get to know each other and
further process and vision. We will add to this group many leaders who are
available simply because they are in the New York area-- which is quite a batch
of significant leaders, many of whom were not able to join us in June.
Next will be the DAWN of INTERSPIRITUALTY conference in Cascadia, Washington
(www.satyana.org) late Sept./early October 2013 where we will further process
all this with nearly 200 leaders who are already registered for that
conference. That gathering begins with a 25-year reunion of Snowmass
Inter-religious Initiative participants and then the Interspirituality
Conference. Significant forward strides are expected from this gathering re:
worldwide movement. Matthew Fox and Adam Bucko's book: Occupy Spirituality:
A Radical Vision for a New Generation (North Atlantic books) will also appear
then; and a new book by Bucko and Rory McEntee on The New Monasticism will soon
follow.
Soon after, Kurt Johnson will host a presentation and panel on "The Emerging
Universal Spirituality" at the Science and Nonduality Conference (San Rafael,
CA) Oct. 23-27 in October (see soon, www.scienceandnonduality.com) [with
Matthew Fox, Edward Bastian, Cassandra Vieten and Rupert Spira].
Next will be the "Interfaith, Interspiritual, Integral" Conference planned for
Phoenix Arizona for Febr. 2014 (see www.ouni.org for that, still in the
preliminary stages; an annual affair by that sector of the Interspiritual
Movement).
As you know, the "Interspiritual Movement" is a part of, and a subculture
within, the global Interfaith Movement. It moves from interfaith dialogue to
the experiential realm of the inherent experience of "unity consciousness and
Heart" common across all the world's traditions and the implications of this
"oneness" regarding heart, love, kindness, ethics, peace, justice, world shift
etc. This is a movement that is just running on its own spontaneous energy,
but in a big way!
You can see it's pioneers (from all the traditions) at
www.thecominginterspiritualage.com
BEST to all of you and more soon!
