A Word from Jonathan and Jane


Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We’d like to clarify our point of view on this upcoming work.  

We, collectively, made a carefully thought-out program for the last work. We framed it as an experiment. We took into account many levels of information, intuition, and guidance. We set up the terriero in a grounded, sensible, and real way, honoring the need for distance and cleanliness, but not doing what the most strict and extreme opinions would have had us do. That was because in our evaluation we added faith to the mix.

Most particularly and importantly, we put the responsibility on each person contemplating coming to self-evaluate and self-triage in the spirit of caring for your brothers and sisters and the greater whole. 

The experiment was a success. The work was beautiful and strong, the harmony among us was exemplary, and no one arrived sick or has subsequently gotten sick. A number of people, in the spirit of self-triage, self-triaged themselves out of coming to the work. That was their choice, freely made.

The present expansion of the virus is, in our investigation, based on one major factor. Americans, being the unfortunately shallow thinkers that we are, having watched way too much television, think in black and white terms about everything.Thus to many people the situation vis a vis the virus is that we are either totally shut down or totally open. Nuance is not our strength.

As a result, many, many people in this country have declared that the virus is done and they can go about their lives as before, gathering in large groups (bars, gyms, churches, beaches). Now many are paying a price for it. Many more will.

Is it remotely possible that a person may have come in incidental contact with someone who later developed symptoms of the virus? Yes, of course. Incidental contact is unlikely to transmit the virus. It is primarily sustained contact in a closed space (see the above list) that is dangerous. And we are sure that the people who are asking to come will humbly examine themselves and their recent contacts with the greater good in mind.

As Judge Panner said at the end of our trial, “Everyone here knows how I’m going to rule.” We hear the concern and we honor the concerned ones. It is clear to us that by allowing a discreet  number of selected people come to this work, we are not increasing our risk in a way that would have us exclude brothers and sisters who want to come and pray with us. Faith and grounded intuition have been our guides so far, and they have not failed us. 

Because we are grounded, we also have the protection of the forest, the protection of the beings, the protection of the vibration of the Daime, and of our unified hearts.  

Light,

Jonathan and Jane
