Whatever floats your boat. I'm not saying that such a thing isn't possible. All I'm suggesting is that, given the long, sordid history of spirituality on this rock, it's just as possible that claims of a book's specialness are a way of attracting followers whose greatest desire is to feel "special" to those who claim to have "special" knowledge of "special" books. ------------------------ Yahoo!
