We the Choir Gather and We Learn to Sing Together

[Sacred Fool]

In fact, it is perhaps more pure and poignant if we take up the work ourselves and organize on our own terms, with the attraction of our ideals unimpeded by the arbitrary balances reached by those involved in LLR. 

 
To cut to the chase, old friend, you're advocating working around LLR to "organize on our own terms" some amorphous experimental social construct, yet you are having to declare this on LLR's forum site to find anyone who might be interested in the concept.  So, there's a catch-22 in play here.

Stepping back for a moment (or longer), I've been wondering lately (and not for the first time) what the role of LLR could be.  In ink above, it's main driver says that producing Confederation materials and publishing them is about the right scope for them.  But then why have these forums?  Also, part of their mission is to support inquiring wanderer types, so how far might that extend?  And, kind of to your point, there has developed a group of people around LLR as channeling session attendees, readers, correspondents, event attendees, volunteers of many sorts and forum users, and proportionally speaking, damn near none of them come anywhere near these forums.  So, what about that?

How do we sing together, queried the maestro?  Is there any desire to do this?  Should these groups converge, should they not?  What could possibly draw them together--or draw sets of them together--to do more than can be done at annual events which can only accommodate a small number of guests?  If we built it, would they come?  Or, if they came, would we build it?  Or should we passively sit around and let the clock tick down while we watch to see what will happen next, as one person here likes to suggest?

I'm not sure, but for my taste, I'd like to see LLR enterprises rise to a different level of engagement with those who support it.  I think that what's available could be distilled to something more resonant and generous of spirit, given many hearts aiming in the same direction.  But I could could be entirely wrong about that.
