Division of Student Personnel

University, Mississippi

Dear Sir:

I received your letter of May 9, 1961, and I am indeed pleased to know that my application will receive proper attention.

In answer to your question as to whether I desire to have my application treated as a pending application, it is my desire that my application be treated as a pending application for admission to the Summer Session, beginning with the First Term, June 1961; and please advise me if there is anything further that I should do in order to complete my application.

Also, you stated in your letter that your evaluation of my credits was not in any way a determination or decision as to whether my application for admission will be approved or disapproved or of its sufficiency. Of course, at this point, it is imperative that I be positively informed with respect to approval, disapproval, and/or sufficiency of my application, because I am married and will have to make appropriate arrangements for my family in any event. Therefore, I will be pleased to know the status of my application at the earliest possible date.

It certainly would be a grand accomplishment if we could devise a system of education whereby all capable and desirous prospective recipients could receive the desired training without having to suffer the conseqencics of undesirable concomitant elements.

Thank you.

Yours truly,

[Signed: J H Meredith]

don't let endo spaces convince you words like dormancy and integration are bad things; for some that will be recovery, and what that system needs.

recovery can be so beautiful and important. If another system expresses this joy and you feel threatened and uncomfortable with just hearing the words to the point of wanting to silence others' stories and recovery, you are only protecting yourself from addressing your own insecurities about those things, and even taking away newly discovered system's ability to understand and talk about these subjects in the community.

These are natural and important parts of systemhood. While you may not be completely prepared to talk about these topics in your own system, having these topics blacklisted and some sort of taboo is a failure on your own end to close the chatroom that is talking about it, or excuse yourself away. You have no right to force your discomfort onto other people.

A healthy system can talk about these topics and how the options can be good for the system, or not what the system needs. THATS good inner system communication. Which will lead to being confident and comfortable with these topics.

‎"The hero's journey always begins with the call to adventure, the refusal of which only deepens the shadow. In slaying the dragon, the hero is not merely conquering an external foe but is entering into a sacred combat with the darkest parts of the self. The cave you fear to enter is not just a place of danger, but of initiation. What you find there is not a monster to be destroyed, but a piece of your soul to be reclaimed."
