Sorry, I don't recall saying that I'm a materialist. I wouldn't say that since I'm nought.
What concerns me is the nature of work and responsibility while in the material world. I don't think one can walk away from that and pat one's self on the back at the same time. >How about an example of this, simple innuendo is not enough today: >"ou have not noticed plant behavior which is connected to subtle energy forces and not just your hard work?" Just to say 'what I am,' I know one thing: I am not the center of the universe. The moon is not the center of the universe, either, but, man-o-man(!) did this last full moon bring on some beautiful plant growth! _allan >Not sure what the thread title for this should be?
