- Thanks for posting this. A very interesting piece. It was in fact
- through quantum mechanics that I first got involved with mysticism.
- Most of the stuff is pretty standard for physics. Just one piece I
- need to ask about.

- This is not standard physics. Perhaps I ought to read the book for
- myself. If you could give a flavor for where this comes from (in terms
- of discussion), I would appreciate it.

- As a point on Bohm, while he is recognized as an excellent physicist,
- some of his ideas are regarded by the mainstream physics community as
- interesting oddities. What I find especially curious about this piece
- is that, unless I am mistaken, it was Bohm that developed a
- deterministic quantum mechanics.
