I just love this guy. :-) OK, dude. We know from your post the other day that you're afraid of boobs. So what is it that makes you afraid of *matter*, enough to consider it "gross?" Are you so much of a Dualist that you reject all of even Maharishi's teachings about Unity, and that there is essentially no difference between matter and "spirit" or "consciousness" or whatever it is that you call what it is that you prefer over "gross matter?" Next time you think matter is an illusion, drop by my place and I can promise you I'll do something that will convince you that matter is not an illusion. I've done it before for "spiritual seekers" who tried to lay the olde New Age / spiritual line about the relative world (the world of matter) not existing on me, and *without exception* every one of them admitted afterwards that not only does it exist, it needs to be paid attention to much more than they were paying attention to it before. The technique is also very useful for curing seekers of the notion that they "create their own reality." Let me know if you're interested... :-)
