Exploring the New Paradigm
of Interbeing
by Xavier Paul <pipaltree@vsnl.com>
Dear Friends,
This is a message from the
Bangalore meeting, first day. This is truly a marvellous
place to have our Alliance meeting in. We are surrounded
by mother nature and good clean air, and we meet in buildings
that are carefully built to harmonise with the landscape
here at Fireflies Ashram. We began on Tuesday evening with
a time of singing and mutual introductions. It was wonderful
to hear from each participant about their hopes and aspirations,
their personal stories and something about the people they
represent. What a wonderfully diverse and yet united world
we have!
Siddhartha told us about the
general direction we would pursue in our deliberations over
the next few days. We will be exploring the new paradigm
of "interbeing", which emerges from the milieu
of our new awareness of the earth and all life forms in
it as one interwoven web. We hope to look at all the aspects
and nuances of this spirituality in order to serve as an
inspirational base for all our future action with regard
to issues like globalisation, global governance and ecology.
We greet all fellow participants
in other parts of the world with 'Namaskara', which is the
Kannada (local language of Bangalore) word for 'Greetings'.
