Tomato, I'm not gunna play that game. I would be chastized for irreverence or inappropriate humor. However, if you are interested in such things on a more material level visit exchange2000.com On another note though still in reference to your former post, inherent contradiction in the Bible is the point. Any scripture without contradiction at our level smacks of a "closed loop system" and I for one run (not walk) from it. We could take a lesson from the East and try to loosen that bastion of western philosophy-- the law of non-contradiction. Any set of principles that purports to take all and everything into account better also reflect Heisenburg's principle of uncertainty in physics. And if it wants to talk about human nature it sure better include contradiction. I would be interested in hearing more about your experience with "A Course in Miracles", as at this point it sounds to much like a "system" to me (but I know next to nothing of it). As for myself, over the past 15 years I have found it instructive to ponder the following question: "If the whole universe was green, would green exist"? Alright, watch those wise cracks (g). It leads into many levels of ontological inquiry surrounding the issue of unity/duality (ie. re. Truth with a capital t vs. truth with with a small t). Even if it begins as an intellectual question it cannot but help become spiritual in nature (cough cough). And while I'm at it, I sentimentally gotta add, the Bhagavad Gita with the inspired commentary of Sankarachrya is one of the most beautiful pieces of literature I have ever read. The conversation between Arjuna and Krishna raises human thought to lofty levels indeed. Yuck to myself! ghunk
