Math! Lightning, Spirituality and Secret Doctrine Reference Series?

> This is wonderful, thanks for the links.

And thanks for yours.

I like that look-inside feature, that's very nice and I've not seen
that before.

It's one of the reasons that I usually check Amazon first for book information. I remember being able to write an extensive reply to someone one time simply by reading the introduction of a book with the Look Inside feature. Months later, I bought the book, which happened to be

The 72 Names of God: Technology for the Soul
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/1571891358/ref=nosim/recommendations

Yeah, I know what you mean about math, math and physics,
philosophy and spirituality - really, it's a long list, that goes on
and ...

It's interesting how things can come together. A few days ago, I commented on something from my reading from "Doc" Smith's *Subspace Explorers* then today the topic somehow got to Lightning strikes. One of the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) on one of the sites you sent me to debunked the myth that a person who is struck by lightning holds the charge until it bleeds off. (Not true it said).

Anyway, the interesting comparison ... the book that I'm currently reading, the one I discussed a few days ago, has, as one of its plot elements, the ship flying through subspace getting hit by the galaxial equivalent of lightning, and being so supercharged that landing on a planet would have destroyed everyone aboard.

*Subspace Explorers* by E. E. "Doc" Smith

Funny how things just seem to come together once in awhile. Later, when I'm more awake, I want to compare a certain plot element of another of "Doc" Smith's series to what Leon wrote about "The path of another is fraught with danger." (I believe that the books that I'm motivated to read again and again are the ones that contain plot elements that amplify lessons that my infinite spirit knows that I need to learn, and for some reason, I get more good from the fictional settings than I do from the deeply involved writings.)

By the way, is the "Secret Doctrine" here:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=recommendations&creative=9325&camp=1789&link_code=ur2&path=external-search%3Fsearch-type=ss%26keyword=%22secret%20doctrine%20reference%20series%22%26index=books
the same as (or related to) the Secret Doctrine that gets discussed so much on this list.

Just curious.
