Hi Nick, Yes, I'm more inclined to agree now than some years ago. Recently re-read some of Colin Wilson and John Anthony West's reporting of the various theories of R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz, and their own conclusions. Without espousing any of those theories, and without going into detail, they recall the reports of perfectly ordinary people (plus many `idiot savants') who can perform `instant' mental feats of perception and / or calculation that are supposedly flat-out impossible, for a human brain or even a computer (in that short a time), according to `materialist' science. Many of these feats are mathematical and so supposedly `linear' or step-by-step, normally taking days or months for a human and minutes or hours for a computer. This `instant knowing' is apparently long documented and still happening - but the mainstreamers are so embarrassed by it that they pretend it's not there. It would mean, regardless of actual mechanisms, that there is at least one other way of looking at - and seeing - `reality'. And, at least for some, theirs seems to be a more efficient way. Which is a challenge most scientists seem afraid to take up.
