Squeezer ~~ Where did I suggest that such an activity as sub-bo-tree contemplation would be in any way deleterious? My point was simply to emphasise the quasi-spiritual* nature of these undemonstrable multiversal speculations. I know that I have spent much of my life in sitting and thinkingºº, tho bo-trees were not readily available in my milieu; a most productive activity indeed.

*[since someone above -- was it you? - I recall that at one point you did admit a modicum of the mystic element into the discourse - took exception of my use of the word 'anagogic']

ºº I have always valued the old Punch cartoon of the elderly man telling the officious district-visitor of his lifestyle ~ "Well, sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits"
