    Hello Glenn,

    An overdue reply to this. I was wondering if you had looked at my essay (which I posted at the
    beginning of this thread) at:
    http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/elizaphanian/unmediated.htm ?

    As for your 'tapping into future knowledge', in my more whimsical moments, I have sometimes wondered
    whether we receive 'ripples' from major events in our own future, ie there is some level of
    "pre-cognition" (which may have a perfectly sensible explanation, however it is experienced.) I'm
    certainly starting to become more sceptical about the absolute nature of time, the more I think
    about the implications of the MoQ (ie that 'time' is simply a high quality static latch for how we
    construct our experiences. As such it can potentially be superseded). But I haven't really thought
    it through, and I might just be being woolly-headed.

    Do come back once you've read Lila!

    You must fuse mind and wit with all the senses
    before you can feel truth.
    And if you can't feel truth you can't have any other
    satisfactory sensual experience.
