Old gray ex-hippie pacifist multi-disciplinary artist active in the Pagan movement.

I paint, write and perform as a storyteller.  I self-publish mostly on the web and lately (circa 2008) I'm doing lots of "web art" designed specifically for that medium.

My front page:  www.stoneriley.com 

The Pagan movement is very interesting stuff.  Proposition:  A large percentage of humans have a natural talent for mysticism.  Question:  What would natural mystics do if all the results of current worldwide scientific inquiry and humane scolarship were available to them in a society with very broad freedoms?  Partial answer:  Many of them would meander into something like the Pagan movement.

Freud believed in mental telepathy.  Can you?

Of course, I might properly have said "Freud accepted ..." rather than "Freud believed in ..."  And I might have made the point that Freud was driven reluctantly to that conclusion by actual experience during the treatment of patients.

But I'm not mainly asking about your judgment of an argument or a piece of evidence.  Instead, I'm asking if you are equipped to consider an argument or some evidence.  I'm asking about your larger paradigm and the firmness of your commitment to it.

Are you definitely committed to a worldview in which thought is less real than physical activity?  Or can you genuinely consider evidence that thought is a universal fundamental aspect of reality, perhaps that thought and physical existence are the same thing?

After all, if you genuinely considered this stuff and weighed it on the merits, you would be joining Einstein.

And would it perhaps at least give us some traction on explaining the mathematical nature of reality?
