I'm glad you think so.  There's a lot of truth in Eastern thought and
I'd enjoy studying it better.  Because I'm a Christian, however, I'm
very careful asto what I incorporate into my  beliefs.  To be, the Bible
and what it contains is the absolute truth, to which the rest must be
measured, since it is the word of God, who's power and love I experience
and with whom I've got a living relationship.
I do believe that its important to have an open mind.  After all, the
Bible does say: "Test all things".
Asto the face-value of thoughts, if you can grasp a thought or concept
just like that without thinking about it, how deep can it be anyway! :-)
What do you believe in?
What do you thing?
Stay well!
Laurent
