     The "MORE" opens into exploratory areas not overly welcomed by
     religious OR scientific thinking, both largely stricken with
     anthropomorphic phobias (they both need their own "styles" of
     evidence). "Trusting" in sequential design likelihoods, it is
     my belief that enormous PERSONAL relationships exist across
     "not yet understood bridges" of mind and substance (the languages
     not being English). i.e. ..that a universe could be aware and care
     about honey bees (even if conceptually more complex than human
     consciousness can cope with) and v-versa.  In my own privacy of
     mind, I keep such possibles pleasantly on the table.  The area is
     a bit awkward to get into, as the topic is huge, barely exploratory,
     so-so explainable and lacking popular evidence.  That I *TRUST*
     (not completely) in my own correlations of data, works well *ENOUGH*
     as a "working evidence" for me. My best notions REJECT popular
     religions (inert) as supporting sources of insights or direction;
     and I find science a bit too slow to satisfy my reaching-
     ....often leaving me in a gray twilight of the "what might be" known.
     I speculate and smile and have a terrible time sharing what I think
     I think ......... !!! AND! I've never been sure it even falls
     into the comfortable sandbox of philosophy (maybe some better fit
     in art and poetry ???).
                       .....................but I keep 'pluggin'  !
