Amara,
Thanks for your patience and for your well-expressed ideas and
way of living life. I greatly admire you and I'm very glad you
are here.

Yes. That would be wonderful to get across. With the ramp
toward Singularity continuously rising humanity faces its
deepest challenges and its greatest opportunity. It is strange
to me that we would even consider facing this with only
science. It will take the fullness of what we are and then
some. Life always does, but especially now when literally
everything for everyone rides on what we choose, how we choose
and how we treat one another.

Sometimes I feel so much of it that I am "in danger" of blissing
totally out. <g> I would give anything to turn people on to
just that. No dogma or doctrine, just that joy, wonder and
wisdom.

May your exploration always take you deeper into this incredible
beauty and joy and may it deeply nourish you and those around
you.
