This whole area is a huge bog, if you ask me. I don't know and cannot venture any suppositions. My TM understandings support the notion of Nature with a capital N having a desire, an intention. More recently acquired positivist thinking refuses to even entertain the premise. Yet the question remains. Perhaps succor lies in art. Isaac Bashevis Singer had a story, "Errors," in the New Yorker magazine some 30 years ago. In it, three wise men sat on a porch and told stories of ostensible mistakes that had good consequences. (I've posted this before, in case you're thinking, "He's repeating himself.") I can still remember the story's closing lines: "How can there be errors when all things spring from divine sources? There are no such things as errors. There are spheres where errors are transformed into truth." ------------------------ Yahoo!
