There is less awakening now than 20 years ago. A lot of very fat people instead. And by your logic a born-again christian justifying bombing the shit out of other countries, or a muslim suicide bomber, are examples of people who believe their personal experience is of any importance. There will never come a time when Science will be superceded by New Age self-agrandizing dribble. This is the reality of life. This is the modern world. You need to accept this new realization to be liberated . > The way science is going it will blow up the whole world before anyone can have a chance to prove their position as being valid. I believe America has thousands of Nuclear bombs. So much for the saving grace of Science. Lsoma. OffWorld ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
