	I was kind of surprised when I read this group for the
first time and found the Uri Geller articles in it.  I'm curious
about a few things and hope to interest you in them for my sake.

	Having read alot of sf and fantasy novels there seems to
be a difference in opinion regarding time, ie- is it an element or
dimension.  Perhaps light is used in an ill fitting context when
describing jumps to hyper-space etc?  What is the exact connection
between other dimensions and time.  Back when Rubik's cube came out
there was this kid who said that taking it into the 4th or 5th dimension
would ease the solution of the puzzle.

	Some of the great Jewish mystics who studies kabbala, or
Jewish mysticism centuries ago highly praised the study of mathematics
and meta-physics.  While I see the connection, I would like a quick
overview of what meta-physics covers (beyond E=mc2 etc..), which courses
lead up to the study of meta-physics and an estimate of what kind of
difficulty this study has.

	Having always been fascinated with magic and psychic phenomenon
it really was nice to take a few courses in Chinese meditation.  These
were given by my karate teacher.  Basically- the Chinese martial arts
consider "soft" techniques aswell as hard.  There are breaking techniques
done by touch- not loud, yell, break your arm and 15 tiles stuff.  Just:
pick up a rock, meditate with it, get to know it- saturate it with your
chi (your own life force) see the break work and then do it.  So far this
is the closest thing to magic that I've seen in our mundane world.  It's
a real experience to see someone take a concrete slab and have it break
at their touch.  Aspiring towards this I studied the meditation and joined
this with my study of Tai-Chi-Chuan which is a soft form of Chinese martial
arts.  It's interesting to learn of energy channels and meridians throughout
the body- which can be used for health purposes as well as self-defense.
The flow of chi, energy, is a tangible thing after an indefinite period of
practice and development.  I would welcome further discussion regarding this.
