Dear Ron:
Another perplexing question...
If you soak a raisin in water, does it turn back into a grape?

Obtain some possum roadkill from your regular source.
Soak it in water overnight.
When you check it in the morning, does it play dead?

In a thread dealing with the BMW X6 M, I merged the Upanishads, with the concepts Brahman, Atman, Edsels, VWs, Audis, and wrote the following:
"The Upanishads speak of a universal essence of creation, Brahman, which has an individual expression in all, the Atman. The Brahman is primal, preexistent but not created, extant before the ideas of chaos and cosmos were given rise in the hearts and minds of men. The sages taught that the nature of existence is part of a reincarnative cycle. The goal of each cycle is to experience the Atman as a path to the oneness of existence, the essentiality of the Brahman. Each cycle therefore brings us closer and closer to the Brahman which is ultimate, both transcendent and immanent, the absolute infinite existence, the sum total of all that ever is, was, or shall be. We experience reincarnation because at each stage we are brought closer to the Braham by virtue of the introspective discovery of the Atman, finally to cease the cycle of life and death and rebirth when, having become one with the Atman within us, we are also at one with the Brahman and thus beyond the need of rebirth."
I also cited to the Brhadaranyaka. Knowing that the universe is all around me, I still feel the circle is open.
What gives?

1. Your error would be in ever having been nice to Raul.
2. If you weren't cranky we wouldn't recognize you.
3. Try some acetone.

My answer is not yours. Do not trust anyone who seeks to make you conform to theirs.
Seek within yourself.

On the other hand maybe we're just sacks of organic chemicals that have learned to play nicely together.
But since I am the only entity who's existance I am certain of, maybe I should just go for a drive and enjoy the weather.

Have fun on your drive. Watch out for any puppets that may get in your way.
Yours in, uh, you!
