  Bruce: Jealousy might be an interesting topic to explore....animportant idea or subject?'
  Zen: I'd like to explore the connection with monogamy too
  
  AnPila article from Zen discussing jealousy, monogamy and attachment:
  "Although to love without conditions is generally easier in the case of brotherly and spiritual love, as we heal the historical split between spiritual love (agape) and sensuous love (eros), the extension of sympathetic joy to more embodied forms of love becomes, it seems to me, a natural development. And when embodied love is emancipated from possessiveness, a richer range of spiritually legitimate relationship options organically emerges. As people become more whole and are freed from certain basic fears (of abandonment, of unworthiness, of engulfment), new possibilities may open up for the expression of embodied love, and what was once perceived as undesirable, threatening, or even morally questionable might well feel natural, safe, and wholesome. This would, I believe, include forms of sexual expression that extend beyond the constraints of conventional monogamy. In short, once jealousy loosens its grip on the self, human love can attain a wider dimension of embodiment in our lives that may naturally lead to the mindful cultivation of more inclusive intimate connectionsIt would have been better phrased as simply 'what do you think is an important idea or subject?'  Let's see what people bring to a pot luck dinner of thoughts when an open topic is invited.  Mine would probably be one of several favorites, such as 'is karma personal?'  If we first go around the circle with each person offering their idea or subject, it will result in (1) some material for future sessions and (2) a number of perhaps nuanced but probably apparent overlaps (or even duplications) of ideas and subjects."
