Dear Cynthia, Thanks very much. Yes, I think that when we have understood the physical reality that underlies current theories of quantum mechanics, relativity and non-linear dynamical systems, there will be an enormous upheaval in our appreciation of nature and human nature. For you and anyone else interested in following up some of the depth of these ideas, can I invite you to take a look at www.inclusional-research.org, specifically take a look at the 'inclusional journal'.

Walton's doctoral thesis which is very nicely done. Then your e-mail arrived and I read through your article. First of all, I enjoyed reading through it, even though I have little background in physics. My forte is in the humanities and my memory is not as great with the study of Euclid - as the Father of Geometry and the space time or gravity theory of relativity. However, it was my strong interest in science fiction (from my older sister Hazel, a VDM) which assisted me with partially understanding your main points. What I gleaned from the article is that we are all linked to all spheres of knowledge in the universe through quantum mechanics. Some day men and women will be able to cure diseases, travel through time and do the greatest good for society through the ideas and principles you discussed. Therefore, our role is to continue dialogue as scholars to help not only ourselves, but all individuals acquire a deeper understanding of ourselves as living beings and our relationship to the universe....I hope this agrees with what you were attempting to say. Sincerely. Cynthia Cozette Lee
