[Benedict here:
this is a long one... another chapter of the memoirs...
while I'm at it, please give me some feedback on this: does anyone care that I'm spouting my life experiences? That I'm using servers as a forum for my blatherings... please at least three to five people tell me what you think of this... and give me some differing opinions, too]
I have never before felt so very heartbroken to leave a place.
Trying to figure out what to write about my trip to Colorado this past week -- went to Boulder, then Crestone, then from there back here to Carbondale Illinois... READ ON

What is the YES Quest:
The YES Quest is an ongoing program for young people. It is coordinated and developed by a dedicated group of Subud members. It's aim is to provide young people with an opportunity to clarify their future goals, develop key life skills and be fully supported in the process.

An International system of Greed and Suffering that You and I maintain

Are we just here to produce and consume. Are we here to be manipulated on every level. The latihan sheds light on the nature of human existence. But for us as with our fellow human beings we exist at the base level much of the time. We live in a world where materialism and consumerism dominate our lives. We expect and demand more and more. Could we manage to go without things we now take for granted and think are 'normal'. All of these, basics, luxuries, excesses...require Oil...the system behind it.. the power house of our economies of trade and ever expanding thirst for markets is what the present farce over Iraq stems from.
Today, whatever domestic politics one possess, however self interested and conservative we like to be, recent events shake our complacent lives and demand that we look up. That is of course if you live in the 'developed world'. In actual reality we have to look within ourselves at this point. The most prominent thing on the agenda at the moment is War Against Iraq. George W Bush and his cohort are now unstoppable. UN resolutions, International Community opinion, are a side show. Direct action by those not happy with this state of affairs is futile. Standing in the way of a battering ram when it rams into the door of truth is a case of naivety. Where we all can make a difference is by being clear about what is going on.

MSF Funds Wing Travel to Cuba
Posted by Anonymous

At its annual board meeting at Spinkhill in August, the Muhammad Subuh Foundation (MSF) voted to underwrite $2500 in Wing chair travel to Cuba this fall. MSF, whose mission is to support the aims of the World Subud Association, felt it was important to support the WSCs initiative for more cooperation among the Wings. The travel grant, extended to the chairs of SDI, SICA, SES, and SYIA, is intended to foster coordinated efforts among the Wings in Cuba.
MSF chairperson Peter Filippelli comments, "I have been asked to give a quote for this article. I realized I had nothing that should be quoted or even read, but as I mulled this over I remembered a quotation of Margaret Mead which I read in "Fruitful Droppings", writing about Varindra. I remember Varindra would use this quotation to describe our small band of Subudians. I think if Varindra were alive he would agree that this quote is applicable to this spirit of cooperation between the wings. The quote: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has."(Margaret Mead)
