Terry sez: Ooops! Sorry. I forgot you were a secular humanist. Sunday Sermon Doesn't matter. Works for atheists too. A higher power can refer to an awareness (an acknowledgment) that there exists something greater than ourselves. Doesn't have to be a g_d. It could just as easily be the power of being in the presence of the group. In my experience, the trick is to simply let go of one's concept of a self particularly our desperate and futile attempts to defend and/or protect it... It's been my experience that the self never needs protection. Never did. Simply give up. But, oh, how scary that sounds I'll be annihilated No you won't. But I think you already knew this. ;-) /Sunday Sermon Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks.

Or, you could be a militant agnostic: I DON'T KNOW AND NEITHER DO YOU!! Even Susskind admits that our reality could be simulated by a red haired, freckeled faced Aeon on his Appletree laptop. Unlike Dawkins, who seems to say: GODDAMIT, THERE IS NO GOD AND I'M HAVING THE FREAKIN' POPE ARRESTED!

Hey, did you read that the Dhali Lama has refused to reincarnate until China no longer controls Tibet? That'll show 'em. No you won't. Saved by zero!

Thanks everyone for the support. I needed it. Frank
[Vo]:I recovered
I'm back not worrying about things that I can't control. I am working on my second video release, with the Alien Scientist. This release is scheduled to appear with my July paper in IE. The Duality of Matter and Waves. I intend to blow the mind of physics community. Frank
