Thanks, Eric.

I actually spent some time composing that response; my attempt to be a bit more specific as to what I meant about a possible quantum theory, (or a possible successor to current theories that account for such phenomena.)  While these theories have mostly dealt with phenomena on the nano-scale or smaller, my own sense it that if such systems are required to explain events on those levels, comparable theories are likely to be found at some point on a macro scale.  I was satisfied merely to have clarified some of my own murky thinking by so doing.  Your response is icing on the cake.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

the hermetic philosophy, essentially.

your posts are very enjoyable, one can feel how much and how deeply you have wondered about these chestnuts.

Hermeneutics is an essential part of the quest, the science of going within.

i was specifically thinking of their dictum: as above, so below.
