Theos-Talk Archives (May 1996 Message tl00738)

Chuck - I agree with you that institutional Ts can get very head
orientated, to me it often gets stuck in the form rather than the
purpose, I bit like some dicussions around here getting stuck in the
personal rather than the subject ;-)

I have a couple of question though...

What sort of things do you thing would make seminars and conventions
more practical?

Would you care to share those ideas with this list? It would make a
good discussion point - for me personally I am at a stage where I
am focussed more on the practical application of Tsy in what I do
rather than the in depth study of the literature.

Thanks in advance....
