Harrison has asked me to share MY reflections of the conversation that this

dear colleagues,
this might be some rambling but perhaps the process of articulating my
reflections and receiving any comments from you will help me. i very much

anything that eistein said gets my attention and respect. this quote is

A few thoughts prompted by this rich discussion:
One view of the "parousia" of Christian Nirvana (heaven or whatever in
