<Atoms and spaces...every thing else...is just opinion.> But all that is based on consciousness, without which awareness of the other is impossible. <"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly for what is essential is invisible to the eye."> From The Little Prince (And basic spirituality) And what ABOUT "all the mystics"?? As a parting comment (Oh, I'll be back eventually) I'd say that your comment deriding my point about "all the mystics" pretty much brings you full circle to one of our first discussions on the thread... and indeed to what looks to me to be your "raison d'etre" on this thread: That rellgions are all crap (or worse, dangerous) and based on "poppycock", with no redeeming value now or ever (in fact Jesus didn't even exist!). But I say: "wait a second"... Jesus teachings and experiences, described by Bible and theologians, are similar (to the dismay of Christian Churches) or of the same essence as all the other 'mystics'... from Buddha, Krishna, to various Zen and Taoist Masters down through history and even to modern day mystics (a couple of who's writtings I've suggested or linked). Soooooooo???? Well, important because one would think that it would be a definite topic of inquiry for one with the above opinion looking for the truth. In fact it would really be impossible to hold that opinion WITHOUT such an inquiry (if one were a truth seeker) into the possible contextual change to ones opinion(s) that might ensue. In any case... thanks for the lyrics. DAK
