All I intend to communicate
in this open letter
pertains to courtesy
and sanity.
If you desire to participate
in these webinars
donations, while helpful,
are utterly optional.
However, if you do wish to participate
three things are mandatory:
FIRST – attendance:
You are NOT Jeff Spicoli,
this is NOT Ridgemont High,
and it is NOT respectful
to slide in, under the wire,
as the school bell rings,
no less show up five minuets late.
If you wish to attend these webinars
log in ten minutes prior
to the scheduled beginning of class.
And when you know
you will not be attending
have the courtesy
to concisely message the teacher
either through Facebook
or the Meditate Like a Jedi dot Org website.
This is all common courtesy
and no adult
should ever have to be told this.
SECOND – Participation:
you must be courteous
to the other students.
No one is attending
so they can hear
your spiritual resume,
your theories,
your opinions,
or your anecdotes.
You will participate
by asking questions,
when questions are invited,
NOT by interrupting the teacher,
and you will participate
in pop quizzes,
when called upon by the teacher,
and NOT
by giving your spiritual resume,
going into story,
or sharing anecdotes.
THIRD – homework:
You will do your homework
enthusiastically, consistently,
and twice daily.
If you strive and fail
that is merely part
of the learning curve.
If, however, you simply chose NOT to try
and decide that either
you have NO interest in doing so…
or that you know
far better than the teacher…
then that’s fine,
perhaps you do,
but then you do NOT belong here,
and should go
and find a teacher
that you deem worthy
of your respect.
Know this
that if you attend classes
without doing the homework
as your teacher assigned it
you will be undermining
the learning experience
for your fellow students.
Listen,
this is as so-called
free country…
and you can hurt yourself
all you want
but you do not get
to harm your fellow students.
So participate
enthusiastically, and humbly
without ever going into story.
Or go,
find another teacher,
and another group,
or start your own
if you’re so intoxicated
with what you might think
is your very great learning.
If you wish to participate
in this webinar series
and you feel you can…
attend punctually,
participate courteously,
and do your homework
enthusiastically…
then you are welcome
to continue to attend.
If you feel requirements
of attendance, and participation,
and homework,
exceed your wishes
or ability
then you may go.
Stay or go,
the decision is yours
just stay out of story
and do NOT tell me why.

with a simple
