Subject: An apology and a note from Saniel

I want to apologize for using an unauthorized mailing list recently to send out invitations to join this forum. If you received such an invitation PLEASE DELETE IT FROM YOUR FILES completely, including your "Deleted Files" file.

And while Saniel has been very kind in dealing with this, at the same time he is concerned that this list not be used improperly again. He has asked me to include this note from him:

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
There is a Law of Reciprocity in the White-Hot Way that is very dangerous to tamper with. It's literally like playing with fire. If someone has a copy of the Ma-Tam Temple mailing list, they should delete it absolutely from their files. This is tantamount to stealing, not just from me but from the divine Spirit of this process--and the way the Law works is pristinely automatic: Whatever you take, you will wind up paying for. One way or another. I am not threatening anyone, but I do feel obliged to provide these words of caution, for your own well-being.
At the same time, even I do not misuse that Temple mailing list, and everyone on it is someone who is responding to me and my work! I only use it personally for contacting people who already know me personally and who I know will be happy to hear from me. And if I am writing about something that I am not sure is of interest to them, I make sure they feel totally welcome to let me know if they are not interested! The people who put their names in my trust this way deserve profound respect from all of us. They are in a sense taking a kind of refuge with us, just by having their names on the Temple list. As a result of the recent mailing about marine mammals--which many of us of course would agree is a very worthy cause--at least one person called the Temple to demand their name be removed from our list. Given that the mailing that prompted this action was objecting to violent bombardment of noise on the sensitive ears of certain mammals, the mailing was perpetuating the violence of inappropriate and, in at least one case, painfully unwanted communication. So this list must be handled with great care and respect. Please do not play with this Fire!
More than that, again, anyone who has a copy of the Ma-Tam Temple of Being mailing list and knows they are not authorized to have it, is also violating that Law of Reciprocity. You are holding and grasping something--in this case, very intimate, personal information about hundreds of people--that you have absolutely no right to have in your possession. None of these people have entrusted you with this. Therefore, for your own well-being as well as theirs, I must insist that you immediately and totally destroy your copy or copies of this material.
Very sincerely,
Saniel Bonder, Founder and Director
Ma-Tam Temple of Being, Inc.
