Oooops!      Maybe the timing for this was not good.   

Erase, erase, erase for now...

For nearly all of us, the rational mind, conditioned by science, is our starting point for viewing the world and our relationship to it. Essential as the rational mind is, experience has taught me that such a narrow locus is dangerously imbalanced and inadequate for grasping the whole of the outer and inner worlds. Such an attempt at grasping the whole of reality through the keyhole of the rational intellect will not help us relate the head and the heart—here, science and the inner spiritual world—either personally or as a culture. To begin broadening our perspective and preparing the ground for a more comprehensive view, I begin with an engaging tale from the medieval Arthurian legends, “The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle."
