Hi Marsha and all. 

My story is chance.   I studied in a Catholic Seminary, College and
Monastery for 12 years. After 12 years of studying St Thomas Aquinas, I
thought I knew Philosophy.  I was married to Louise after Anna was born.  We
studied esotericism for 4 years with a lady who had studied with John
Bennett. 

Louise decided to get a BA degree so she could get a better job, and in the
course of her studies Zen and the Art was suggested reading.  She told me I
would like it.  I did, and later I bought Lila in paperback.  Then by chance
I found the forum.

I was skeptical, but something in me resonates to Quality. I think evolution
is Absolute truth on planet Earth.
