I was fortunate enough to meet him in London back in the early ’80s, probably on the back of his best known book being published. Very nice man.

That must’ve been interesting to meet him. He does appear to be a really nice man. I hope scientists will someday take his ideas more seriously. His morphic resonance theory certainly explains a lot of things!

Rigidity of mind is a heavy yet unacknowledged burden Strict materialism? No thank you all the same.

I learned very early that life is rich with magic when we allow ourselves to resonate with the universe, the All…. 🙂 I suspect you learned this at an early age too. Materialism never was my mindset.

Also. Did you somehow miss seeing this (https://bennaga.wordpress.com/2020/10/08/the-writer-tirtinska/) or really not like it? Which is of course fine. Just curious. You know how touchy these writer types can be. 😉)

You recently write in one of your comments, “Materialism never was my mindset.”
I remembered that when I came across this a moment ago while wading through that poetry archive I’m having to revise as a result of the computer upgrade:
NO WONDER
You separate “animate” and “inanimate”.
On what basis?
No wonder there is confusion.
If you are seeking a fish, why climb a tree?
