Yes Enoon.

I am familiar with Arnold & Amy Mindell (sp?) and the Process Work stuff.  Very cool material.  It is mostly compiled from other sources, but its synthesis and elucidation in that form is quite cool.  They adopt concepts from such disparate sources as Casteneda, Chuang Tzu, Tantra, Jung, Gurdjief (sp?) etc. etc.

I also agree with your assessment about progress.  It is surely natural.  I, however, still tend to cringe when I think of the behavior of humans in our past & present.  The "dark ages" were full of troubling things which have not fully been resolved.  We are still dealing with the ramifications of events that transpired a millenia ago.  And, while I do see progress... I also see plenty of regression.  We have a very potent reactionary tide that, if left to its own devices, could very well curtail or derail the precious advances we do make/ have made.

Being embarassed to be human is akin to feeling some shame when you are out with family members who proceed to make fools of themselves.  Getting kicked out of a restaurant because your uncles are too drunk to deal with being in public, or because your aunt is schizophrenic and causes drama everywhere you take her... heheheh.  Only more troubling than that, because our crazy and stupid relations are destroying ecosystems and causing the extinction of entire species.

Anyway, glad to make your acquaintance.  Thanks for chiming in on my thread.
