I say more when there is an application to be made, like to a specific situation or a question. I don't have philosophies to say more about. There is no link or related article I could give you, except the conglomeration of all life experiences, information of all kinds, and including mind-altered and out of bodies. Since you are looking for some mind candy, here is a sight I have found interesting to explore http://cognet.mit.edu/ ~freyja > > NNB > > > > > f.
