Raffi,

Herein Mr. Bentov was somewhat inaccurate (I read that book at least 20 years 
ago, maybe more, so my recall is very clouded), there have been advances 
since his time in understanding.   Dancing Wu Li Masters among them (Zukav).   
There is such a thing as matter.   What there is, is something deciding what YOU 
want it to be, particles (matter) or waves (energy).   The observer and the 
observed are in a dance together at that level.   There have been some quite 
marvelous and disconcerting experiments relating to consciousness and the 
particle/wave form, specifically the slit experiments, which I'll have to find again 
so I get it right, if your interested.   There has also been some marvelous 
work on the nature of the photon, also disconcerting to many who were look for 
hard little billiard balls of matter.

Stalking the Wild Pendulum has a number of very interesting ideas in it 
but........we don't much operate at the quantum level in our ordinary lives.   Not 
saying our minds don't, but the skin bag of bones and flesh I call "me" 
doesn't, so I don't get too concerned about it, yet.   I'm not able to pass through 
walls yet by raising my vibratory level to slip between the cracks in the 
continuum.   I think we are pretty well grounded in this reality while we are 
alive.   Haven't seen any bodies levitating thru the air lately, either.   Fantasy 
is wonderful but it is just that, fantasy, so far in our evolution.   

OS isn't fantasy, it is definitely spiritual and incredibly releasing for 
those used to the strictures of the usual meeting.   Its power arises from the 
collective wisdom of the small groups making their own choices.   Radical 
thought, that.   Anyway, you already know all that so I'll stop.   Guess I'll 
re-read Bentov and see what I think 20 or 25 years later.   btw, his little drawings 
were delightful.
