I will follow your link. Ensconced as we are in the material and bathed in Western Culture, it is extremely difficuly to rationally conceive the immaterial. I fight the tendency to see everything in material terms all the time. But physics unerringly points toward it. I conclude that our inability to comprehend and reconcile reality has much more to do with being human in this time and culture than with the nature of reality itself.

But I am beginning to sound like a broken record ... ;-}

Thank you so very much for your reply! I'm very glad you'll be taking a look at that article. It is concise, out of its 50 pages, the last 13 are source references (LOL!)

I agree. Our lives are full of distractions and misrepresentations. Illusions are so common with "special effects" - we tend to dismiss them and presume there is a material explanation. Sigh...
