Very best to all,

Pat

Hi Pat,

Thank you for letting me know about the beautiful picture of your grandson. You can certainly be proud of him and thank God for his great love to your family. I will keep you all in prayers.

Yours Cosvis.

Thank you all so very very much. I'll see him at Christmas. I can't wait to give him the biggest hug.

God bless you,

Pat

He is so sweet! He looks like he is trying to squash us with his fingers! He has hair! I have to shave my baby's hair off, family tradition, she's going to look like a cancer patient soon! I'll post pictures of her new doo after we do it!

Thanks Sally.

Have you ever watched KIDS IN THE HALL? Squishing your head, squishing your head.
At least he's not giving us the bird, like some young lady I know.
And he needs a haircut, but my daughter wants to keep it uncut for his 1st year.

Best to you,

Pat

Hi Profpat,

The spirit behind your idea is admirable as is your effort to construct a coherent synthesis of inputs from diverse ideas in science and religion. We all seek to integrate our experience in some meaningful way. Yours seems to be a linear progression from void toward multiplicity. In some very general respects it is reminiscent of JG Bennett's Systemmatics, which was a remarkable work outlined in the four volume Dramatic Universe series published about 40 years ago by Hodder and Stoughton. He was a brilliant man, accomplished mathematician, and conversant in 16 languages I've heard.

I have studied eastern religions and worked and lived in the Middle East and the Far East for about 30 years. One comment I would like to make about the Void is that it is directly accessible in human experience. It is the eternal empty side of the world of form. It is sometimes interpreted in Hinduism and especially in Buddhism as nirvana or enlightenment, especially in the Mahayana tradition. The experience is also known in the forest tradition of Theravada Buddhism where the discipline is very strong, but there is not the same inclination to interpret it in the same exclusive way as in Zen for instance. Taoist poetry is also full of references to the void. If you are interested, my work comes from many direct experiences of the Void, one of which is described on my website. The advantage is that it offers a pragmatic new methodoly to the sciences.

Best regards,
Bob

Hi Bob;

Thank you for the complimentary comment.

Yes I would be interested in your site. I once tranced myself and experienced an OBE ( out of body ), I lost Pat and left with just self ( I AM ) but while in that state I BECAME AWARE THAT ALL IS ILLUSION.
At that point my awareness seemed like it was being erased, and i panicked and found myself back in my body. I read later that had I allowed myself to lose awareness I could have visited Nirvania. Did you reach the state of Nirvania?

Best to you,

Pat
