Hi,

From: Reed Konsler <konsler@ascat.harvard.edu> <<
How do you describe sex to a virgin? How do you describe 3D to a 2D person? Trancendent means "beyond" and it also means "here". Trancendent is beyond time and space such that all the universe can be clasped 'tween your thumb and forefinger forever. Did you see the recent Star Trek movie: "Insurrection". Do you remember the moments of "out time"? That was a description of trancendence. Look...what do I know? To speak in these words...as KMO so brilliantly described in his riff on Plato's Cave...confines me to the more limited dimensions.

Thanks, Reed. I may not understand just yet, but I think it will come to me... that "out time" was very immanent, but you are right that it's also trancendent ("beyond time"), in a way. Perhaps a little meditation will bring me to it.

"To see a world in a grain of sand,
and heaven in a wild flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour."

Be you. If you fuck it up, don't worry.

I'll point it out.

ROFL!
