From: utzoo!decvax!harpo!npoiv!npois!cbosgd!cbosg!dir Newsgroups: net.misc Title: Mystic-Scientists Article-I.D.: cbosg.2762 Posted: Tue Jan 25 17:21:13 1983 Received: Fri Jan 28 03:21:20 1983 References: ucbvax.662 I suppose that many people reading the net are scientists of some sort (programmers, engineers, etc.). My survey question of the day is: How many of you consider yourself inclined toward mystical yearnings and beliefs *in spite* of your "hard" scientific, objective training? In other words, I want to find out how many people are like me: I have training (and degrees) in electrical engineering, computer science, and psychology, and my work involves all of these fields. On my own time, however, my main interest is Eastern philosophy, spiritual development, meditation, and other assorted activities clearly seen as "deviant" by the more vocal responders on the net. Any others like me, or am I truly deviant? (Personal mail please unless you have something of general interest to add.) D. Radin - Bell Labs
