I had missed the 'rule' part!
Wrt what would I be willing to be held to account?
What kind of intentional community might be situated within a Quaker
meeting?

Alex Wildwood:
 Connection: participation/communion/community
 Reflection/meditation/contemplation: Stilling the monkey mind;
   self-enquiry: what are we led to do
 Service: Action of love [12 step]; work, creativity and caring;
          aliveness is relational
          Serving the great works of justice, peace and love

Aka connection/consciousness/compassion

Power and presence that is greater than us

Ego, seeking self-validation.  "I don't like change"

---------

Ben PD:

"A succession of very unhappy people, nothing to do with me" !
??? hedonism.

Faithfulness: What does it feel like to be faithful, how do I know
what is an authentic spiritual impetus?

Keep practicing a life as ministry

Look for a feeling, and look at the fruits.

Holy moments, right place/right time, a _thin_ place

Good questions to ask about authentic decision making

Amish decision: does this build community?

Ever vigilant, and recognise the need for help.

----------

Be prepared to wait.  Sometimes one has to just get out of the way.

G. MacLeod: "I don't believe in coincidences, but when I stop praying
they stop happening".

"Fold the wings of the intellect"

"God is reached by love, not navigation" Augustine

But sometimes pain is just painful...

"There is a power and presence by which we live" _The_ Quaker
testimony, per Jocelyn Burnell, allegedly
