This is the first time I have ever tried to post something on a website, so please forgive me if I make some mistakes. I do not know where to put this comment on your lists. I would think under "Cosmic Consciousness" but that appears to be a vegetarian list. Here is my comment. Dear Paul, I recall that you said on a DVD that you had an experience at a party that you had understood the secret of the universe. You had someone write down on a piece of paper, ?T shock here are seven levels?. I wanted to make sure that you had an opportunity along the way to know that this is indeed true. There are seven levels. I have come across this knowledge in two places. The Subud symbol has seven concentric circles, which represent the seven levels. There are seven rays that go out from the center of the circle to show that the power of God extends throughout creation. Also, I understand from Dr. Robert Frager, who is an author on Sufism that at least in ancient Sufism the knowledge that the seven levels exist is there. Of course, to understand what this truly means in our lives as human beings is a spiritual journey, not a concept in the thinking mind. Best wishes, Brianna
