Greetings Matt,

Of course, and I'm nobody special to be giving 
good advice.  Yet I still want to say 
something.  It's one thing to have philosophers, 
scientists, psychologists, holymen, and even 
great authors explain to you about self and 
reality, and it's quite another to discover it 
firsthand.  To watch your thoughts without 
judgement, to see your (human) nature is valuable.

I apologize for the advice.

Marsha
