Below please find a message from Carole Pelchat.  Her system doesn't allow
mass mailings.  I offered to be the middleman.  i

Andrew, a brief word from a listener to the ongoing conversation.  I will 
preface my conversation with the comment that I have as yet not done weekend 
#5, so I may be stepping on distinctions unknown to me.

You said, "We are stepping into an area where THERE ARE NO RULES."  I don't 
dispute that there might be an area where there are no rules; however, all my 
experience so far, in this universe, is there are always rules, many of which 
we haven't as yet figured out, even while we are operating within them.

The invented field Adult as Possibility/Adult as Possibility may be empty 
from the standpoint of cliches.  Was it also defined as empty of rules?  I 
assisted in Partnership #1 in Boston this past weekend, and while I didn't 
hear all the conversation, I do remember Julia saying fields shape 
conversations, and conversations shaped by "I" as the first speaking are 
different than conversations shaped by "Relationship" as the first speaking.

We began by exploring four possible relationship fields, ones we all might 
have some familiaritiy with.  We were then asked to develop some competence 
in exploring "alien," with an understanding that trips to Paris might occur. 
 Now we are engaged in exploring a possible (alien) fifth field, AP/AP.

Maybe the upset (thwarted intentions, unmet expectations, undelivered 
communications) present in the conversations over the past weeks is the 
result of alien researchers stubbing their toes on unknown rules within the 
field AP/AP, and a quest for those rules (what works/what doesn't work) might 
be useful to keep the research moving along.  Too many researchers going over 
the edge and not coming back could slow us.

XXOO Carole
