((Some great man was asked what single body of work he would offer to intelligent E.T.'s to represent humanity. "The complete works of Johann Sebastian Bach...but that would be bragging," was his reply.))

Oh, I just love this, boris! Thank you so much!

You wrote: "Both Bach and Oldfield--I have decided--have learned how to 'hook into' the alpha rhythm of the brain." Maybe this is so. But is the brain the source here, or is the brain resonating to/mediating something else? Maybe these great creators were just able to tune into the eternally divine Source of all of Life, and have made it available to our consciousness in their art.

(You probably already know that i don't consider the physical brain ultimate.)

Thank you so much for your wonderful insights.

I think it is a great pity that scientists are so inimical to art. I think science could learn a lot by looking at art and trying to see what it touches in us. Great art certainly resonates with us in many ways. It makes us feel closer to universal truths. Great artists have captured in their work some great truths. These are truths which might be helpful to science in progressing beyond its narrow, self imposed bounds.
