LOL ! Yes, the lack of response and respect from more respected and higher granted colleages is enough to make anyone lose their sanity. In science, the most original idea should be the more respected, not the theory with the best supportive evidence, because everyone knows, science is just another way of thinking and there is no such thing as "proof". But most granting instiutions, college boards and scientific journals are too just cowardly to admit this fact. Notice also that most scientists do work at various "institutions". This term is hardly any coincidence. >I've tried it, and as a professional mad scientist myself, I find >it lends a great deal of credibility to the appellation "mad". Let me >know how it goes. By 5:00. or else. (and do try to be supportive, I've had a hard day.) I thank you for the advice. If you can't have respect from your colleagues and peers, you can at least terrify them into giving it to you. My latest attempt at madness was today when sitting in the dark bunker of a microscope room together with two Germans and one Hungarian, running a semi antiquated laser microscope whose engine sounded faintly like the engine sound of a WW2 submarine. With the room getting hotter and less oxygenated by the minute, I, inspired by the U boat classic "Das Boot", promptly stood up and made ping'ing noises while yelling: "450 meters and still descending, Sir !" The two Germans looked sufficiently impressed by this display of improvised U boat crew discipline, but all the Hungarian said was: "Go home and eat some gulasch, Kayser Soze." I hope you have a good day at your institution. Love, Amanda. Angelfire for your free web-based e-mail. http://www.angelfire.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 Dear Amanda Admirers. She is quite a lady... Check out my posts on exchanges with her on 'Kechari Mudra', as well as posts on 'nectar', 'nectar flow' and 'urdhva reta'. NECTAR IS REAL STUFF. Sometimes I get so much of it, I have to swallow it away. Also look for ojas and reta, urdhva reta in the collection of posts in www./A+collection+of+Wims+posts I also have some more radical material, not published yet, guys stuff, to do with the testicles and epidydimi. Weird, mad and wacky? Love, Wim "Second-hand knowledge gathered from books or gurus can never emancipate a person until its truth is investigated, applied, experimented with and experienced. Only direct, factual and actual realization does that. Realize your whole self, reintegrate your mind and body." - Tripura Rahasya, 18: 89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never reckoned I would receive such recognition...
