Hi Peter. I am still following the excellent discussions on Bn-SD.

I don't have an understanding of Theosophy. I struggle moment to moment
for an understanding of existence. What little wisdom I foolishly lay
claim to I might erroneously refer to as Theosophy. And yet I find each
moment that I must exist. I must make choices with incomplete knowledge. 
When doubts exist, why do I tend toward the path of least action? I like
to be sure before I act. Yet certainty is not accessible. Truth is a set
of beliefs bound together by a thread of good fortune. 

I believe the WTC911 event has given us the choice in this round of this
race on this globe, to transform our terroristic thought processes ---or
not. The choice is ours individually and collectively.

I choose transformation -- Knowing full well that the process is like
death and rebirth, literally and figuratively.

And I would value your response to the same questions, should you be
inclined to give them.

regards,
Bill
