E-mails are often very imprecise means of communicating. I assumed from what seemed to me to be a flippant response from you that you thought that contemplation was rather of a waste of time. So, glad we have cleared that up.

Yes, I did admit the permissibility of subsuming the mystic into the mysterious. Therefore - no, I did not object to your use of "anagogic". You perhaps had in mind McGrath of Harlow's post of 9th.

There is still an omission which arouses my curiosity, viz. what to you is "patently obvious" about the Parallel Worlds theory? It is, after all, the subject of this thread and you appear to have firm views about it. Did you not obliquely suggest that you have the means to slice through this knotty problem which, like Schroedinger's cat, is superpositioned simultaneously in both physics and metaphysics? Or are you only a big tease?
