Hey, may I still call you Balder, Bruce? I think of it as your real-er name since you chose it yourself.

Now, is there a common grapevine type of feature around here where one can post some tidbits like a synchronistic quote and such?

Oh, and thank you for continuing the cultivation of this particular group of crazee monkeys, B. I mean it sincerely.

Hi Balder, I don't see a place to leave comments on the newly added "notes" feature on the left side of the main page.

Blindness or blondness?

Mascha

There is no section at the bottom of the "notes" pages where I can leave a comment.

I'm on a Mac and, for the life of me, can't see the "add note" link you are describing in either, Firefox or Safari.

No. Sorry. No option.

Perhaps a feature for cultivators use only?

Hey Balder, thanks for the warm welcome. Also, I noticed you put up a Shinzen Young video. Awesome! Been listening to his Expand Contract youtube channel for a while now. It's been a great part of my practice.

Sorry Baldur. I was posting it and editing it. In the future I will try and edit as little as possible, so you don't have to approve it several times. :)
Sincerely, rl.
P.S. Thanks for approving it. :)

Yes, every time I go back and edit it, it seems that you need to approve it again. Sorry about that. I didn't know either. Thanks. -rl.

Hi Bruce, I'm really sorry this hasn't worked out ...not just for you but for those who genuinely value what you made available here and at Gaia. Big love, Lol

Hi Balder, and thanks very much for the welcome. I'm looking forward to discussing Integral, art, and the everyday. I'm going on retreat shortly for about five weeks so it may have to wait until I return.

Ok, so what's an integral mentoring and "ministry" open house?

So soon we'll be calling you Father Balder? Or Brother Balder?

Thanks for the welcome Bruce! (sorry for the delay...just got back from a trip to Bodh Gaya)
It's good to see the open space you created on gaia continuing here.

Hey Brother,
Got your message about non-participants. I am a loyal lurker, every other day or so. Hope I can stay, but if you need the spaces, I understand. I suppose I can still lurk without membership, and send you an email if I suddenly erupt into a powerful need to express a thought. :-)
Best wishes,
David

Left this message at a post, but thought I'd send it as a personal message as well, in case you never saw it there.

Bruce, I would like you to check out my latest post at IL :

A Flare for Living, Be Not Afraid

You have seen earlier rounds of the "flare" model, but I have added some refinements along the way. Also, I attempt to speak in favor of some good old metaphysical speculation, and try to conceptualize how it might fit in with the Integral line of thought, even though IPM tends to shun metaphysical speculations.

I wanted to see how accurate my reason is in regards to Integral line of thought. I don't want to wait to become an expert before I philosophize about Integral things, but I don't want to offer wrong conceptions of IL either. Best I can do is post, and then seek quality review by persons such as yourself.

That is, of course, if you can find the time.

Darrell

Hey thanks Balder. That sounds great. I read a great deal on my ipad and being able to post directly with ease is something to look forward to. And, by the way, you gave a very nice articulation of both your own thought and OOO in response to LaymanPascal. I've been following the exchange with interest.

Thank you Bruce! Looking forward to discussing Integral theory and how it interfaces with other post-metaphysical theories. Right now I'm most interested in AQAL theory and the three major components of the map, the interior-exterior dimension perspective, the individual -collective dimension perspective and the third being "enactment," with the possibility that enactment could also be seen as a dimension -perspective, and if so the implications of this.

Hi Bruce, just realized it's you! Thanks for welcoming, and great job - this place seems to be the hottest integral hub these days!!

Thanks Bruce, Good to be a part of the forum. I'm looking forward to getting a bit involved with it. I'm glad we will be discussing my paper down the track. You may need to right click on it , to access it on the metaIntegral site, probably because I used an older edition of Adobe Reader.
