Dear David: I agree with you fully. There is no limit for human imagination. That is what makes us different from other forms of life. I found a quote, which I has been my guiding principle. Here it is: "I salute the supreme teacheer, the Truth, whose Nature is Bliss; who is the giver of the highest happiness; who is pure wisdom; who is beyond all qualities and infinite like the sky; who is beyond words; who is one and eternal, pure and still; who is beyond change and phenomena, and who is the silent witness to all our thoughts and emotions-- --I salute Truth, the supreme teacher. --Ancient Vedic Hymn. When I say "ancient", I mean "ancient", it is more than 5000 years old! I guess one can never change the Truth! Regards.
