Re: Why I Wrote *The Emperor's New Clothes*

Doug,

Actually, I agree with you if what you are saying is that the rational
does not exclude the spiritual. What I am objecting to, not only in
Peter Khan's speeches, is the feeling that the rational and the
spiritual are each seperate, that the spiritual is a realm that logic
and reason cannot grasp. I think that it is better to think in terms
of the fundamental oneness of knowledge.
