However, I am confronted with the task of explaining some very strange experiences and coincidences. In particular, this requires creating a world view that is large enough to account for these experiences. I'm not asking you to believe or do anything unless you are so moved. Neither will I prove that what I believe is true overall. I could not, even if I wanted to.
Beliefs always stand on shaky ground and utility is the only true measure of their value.
If we know that something is true, we don't have to bother with beliefs. Take from these notes whatsoever would serve you. I hope you find the journey both fascinating as well as educational. I know that I have. I don't know what else to say to warn or prepare you for what follows.
