I would love to be a part of *going deeper*. I don't think I am
intimidated by the complexity of thinking sometimes required to be a part
of it. What I find difficult is that my life has taken me in certain
directions with a particular emphasis. I may not be able to respond
simply because I have not tread your path. I don't mind asking questions
or reading background materials to enable me to get closer to your path.
Why not try using this forum to experiment with going deeper but give
folks a weeks notice or so to prepare by reading whatever would be
recommended?

I find that questions from those not caught up in the topic can be very
stimulating. So instead of finding a way to become exclusive, why not
experiment with some different ways of using this forum?

I would ask those involved to put a banner at the top of every
contribution stating the topic, its purpose, background reading, etc.
