<<The world now is a graveyard of sensory experiences and most of the time I'm a dog, sniffing around for a scent. John>> Great post, John! Your post relates very clearly many of the large spiritual problems many people are having nowadays. I think my teacher called it the existential vaccum. All very interesting stuff. I suggest reading some Sartre or Camus if you want to expand your knowledge on this. I'm reading Sartre's Naseau right now, and will get back to the list with my thoughts after I finish if anyone is interested. Eric
