   No. But since I've watched "What the bleep do we know?" I've started to   
   wonder if this is a dream and all is not as it seems. The idea that nothing   
   is solid, everything is energy, the components that make up everything blink   
   out of existence and then back in... where do they go? Is it possible that   
   at a given moment in time all of our energy is existing in another   
   dimension? Or in millions of other dimensions? Why are we not aware of other   
   dimensions if we coexist in them? Hmm... apparently, my thoughts of astral   
   projection have turned to thoughts of being able to alter the matrix! Add to   
   this the loss of my 18 year old son last August to a drowning accident and   
   you understand that I've been challenging all of my philosophies...   
   I'm out,   
   John D.
