I wonder though - if there is always a tension between the small percentage of people in any group, organization, movement, anything - who want to push the edges, evolve things, take things to the next logical level - and the majority of people who tend to conservation of what already is. I wonder if that is a just something about human nature, or a normal curve of gene distribution for the drive for innovation. That the most innovative people will always be in the minority, and how do you deal with that? Clearly, just arguing with the conservatives trying to get them to "get it" tires out the arguer. But isolating yourself amongst people who agree with you doesn't lead to change. So what is the ideal model? I'm excited by Web 2.0 that lets the innovators create the model that everyone else interacts with, so people are being innovative without realizing it. =) Heh, I love the dog-cat quote.

I recognize the NVC raft is there to support us to reach the sacred place he calls the Beloved Diving Energy. When I read the quote the first time in his book Practical Spiritual, I sang a new song I'll call the "Sacred YES!" I say YES to living in the place of the sacred place! Thank you Marshall for helping me remember where I want to live. Thank you for giving me a raft when I get lost. Either way I am feeling the warmth of the Beloved Divine Energy supporting and lifting me and for that I am GRATEFUL! My heart is soaring as I read Marshall’s quote about the consciousness of NVC.
