O.K. O.K. here is my experience with Bo Lozoff

I believe the year was 1995.
My honeymoon with Jewish Renewal was over.
Jewish Renewal is a Kabbalistically oriented movement
in Judaism, the place where the New Age kinda of Mystics hang out..
There are a lot of women rabbis in Jewish Renewal.

I went to this national gathering in Colorado that they hold
every two years. My behavior was really over the edge.
Two years before, I had been invited to participate in the
post conference gathering of Rabbis, even though I was not
a Rabbi myself. I had a personal relationship with Reb
Zalman, the grandfather of the movement. He had paid
for part of my entrance to this Gathering out of his pocket.
He saw my Soul.

On the opening of the Rabbi sessions, I was not sure if
I would be invited to attend again.

I went to the room.
Then, one of the main teachers came over to me
and tooked me in the face and said I did not belong there.
It was a horrible experience.

I was still smarting when I arrived home in San Diego.

There was a an international gathering a few days from then
in San Diego. I think it was the IONS group, started by Edgar Mitchell,
the astronaut. There were about 1200 people at the conference.

IONS


Bo Lozoff was one of the main speakers.

The organizers gave me a small space in the foyer, even
though I was new to them.

I set up some of my plants, and was featuring the Declaration
of Interdependence I had written.

I was impress with Bo's talk. He was very humble, sincere,
and non-commercial, very down to earth.

I went up to the stage and gave him a piece of an aromatic herb.
I invited him to come over and see me at my space.

He was surrounded by a lot of people, who wanted to talk to him.

I left.

About fifteen minutes later, he exited the room and rather than
head in the natural direction of the crowd and lunch, he did an about face
and walked way out of his way--about 300 feet--to come and
find me out.

I was very moved by this. He is Jewish by decent, but does not
affiliate. In contrast to the Rabbi's that I found ego-centric in Colorado,
here was a man who had a very conscious relationship with God, but
did not see God in any particular way.

He spent about ten minutes of his lunch time, looking a my
things. Then he signed the Declaration of Interdependence.
The man saw me, at a time when I needed to be seen.

A month or so later, I called him up at his place in Carolina.
His wife answered the phone. Bo came on the phone and talked to me.
He sent me his book. I believe I sent him a donation.

I have not talked to him since, but would not put it passed him,
that he would remember me.

That is the kind of relationship he has with individual prisoners.
It is all heart felt and real.

He is a real, deep spiritual person, who basically
lives very authentically and by core values.
