     I'm sorry this horse has been beaten so badly, Dave, but it seems that
one's ego would press for the opposite of what I take your words to mean. The
fact that in the first statement you stress that the ONLY universe is the one
you have CREATED thru your perception, then it is followed by a statement
that acknowledges the existence of ANOTHER universe - the one that somehow
exists because as a different I being I must have there fore have a different
perception and hence they are different "universes".
     By "universe" I thought we were speaking of the astronomical universe of
all physical matter, and not the broader sense that would take into account
the perceived. Is this what is blocking my view here? It seems illogical
otherwise.
     Anyway, thanks for the offering of the different view. It seems that to
disallow them and their effects is an option I am curiosly without!
