Thank you for your beautiful letter that Irv Thomas sent on. My advise as an elder who has lived through many changes is - don't whip yourself.
There is a tendency in many movements to "blame" humans, look for the
error in our ways, wait for the collapse of whatever gestalt we are in
at the time and like the prophets in the bible denounce the awesome
injustices and/or insanities of society.
To me it is suspiciously redolent of Christian original sin, whether it comes from the ecological movement or wherever. I have, myself, been waiting for the collapse of "capitalism" since 1932!! I gave up a few years back, though. Humans are ignorant of what we really are. And we all have fear that can lead to Chechnyas or beautiful poetry or slave labor or advances in understanding.
Whatever you did was perfect at the time. You are not Milarepa. You
have no penance to perform. JUST GIVE OUT LOVE and love yourself.
Had this whole Y2K happening not happened just as it did, it is
probable that enormous catastrophes could have occured. It was a
blessing that the dire warnings went out, and that appropriate action
was taken over the last five years as a consequence.
So THANK YOU. I don't know who you are, but I'm really grateful that
you did exactly what you did. love, Elizabeth Gips
