Dear Brian, Thank you. It's a pleasure to hear that I can reach you poetically, even if not in prose.

Thank you for the Swan Chemistry.

But I might speak of 'the humanity of love that includes the humanity of fear', and of a rich and varied world of flow-form that cannot, by its very nature, be 'an even playing field', yet where each is equally vital. In other words, I think 'fairness' is about recognizing the vitality (both in the sense of aliveness and need for) and complementarity of all, not a 'one size fits all' of treating 'all the same'. The attached poem about 'swan chemistry' relates to this. In another conversation, catalysed by the attached 'Sectored Communion' piece, I have just written the following: "I have the feeling that we are now entering a very exciting new phase in our discussions - a phase in which we can clearly recognise the roots of all kinds of fundamentalist intolerance, BOTH theistic and non-theistic, in INTRANSIGENT LOGIC (the imposition of a false discontinuity [completely discrete boundary limit] between inner and outer worlds). This logic that 'occludes the middle' [or treats the middle itself as an occlusion] is 'seen through' the moment that it is recognised that [the continuity of] 'space does not stop at boundaries'. I've just added the latter simple phrasing to the 'what is inclusionality' page at www.inclusionality.org. Intransigent logic can be transformed into a more natural logic, not by 'completely eliminating' (as in 'seamless holism') but by FLUIDIZING what we may perceive as fixed boundary limits into 'distinct but not discrete dynamic interfacings' or 'Edges of Fluidity'. To re-iterate, I think we have not only identified 'what gets in the way of human understanding' through becoming embedded deep in our individual and cultural psyches, where it festers as a 'knot of paradoxical doublethink'. I think that through 'transfigural inclusionality' we are also recognizing a kind of 'regenerative philosotherapy' that can enable us compassionately to reach inside and re-open this enclosure, so that it can regain its creative totipotency (the philosophical equivalent of introducing embryonic stem cells into damaged tissue - we are restoring openness to injured thought). Lere Shakunle has in fact already thought about this in transfigural mathematical terms and introduced it towards the end of his paper on 'Transfigural Biology' in the most recent issue of 'Transfigural Mathematics'.

Discussions have been busy on the forum recently and there has been much to think about. It has not been an easy piece of work to deliver and the battles one is drawn in to or those who attempt to draw you in sap the creative energies. I am minded of Brendans reference to 'The Powers That Be' and that sometimes it those very close you work with that can be more testing than any authoritave body. As I have gained experience I realise that the most important power that is becoming is the self as neighbourhood. If we can reach a level of awareness of self as neighbourhood then the receptive and responsive relationships we intrinsically and extrincically generate may become tuned towards the humanity of love rather than a humanity of fear. I am also interested in the notions that 'The World Is Not Fair' Surely it is a human loving need to mediate a world that is not fair and to make it fair or at least try? With Love Andy
