Have you read David Bohm, mk?

A far more rigorous approach likely motivated by same spiritual longings. (See also his dialogs with Krishnamurti.)

> a human-centric view of the universe

Hardly an unreasonable [initial] view point for a sentient species given the use-case: why am I here and what to do?

The insistence that it is incorrect in principle (as it implies distinct 'subjective realities') was actually undermined recently. (Something to do about a quantum tree falling in a forest with no one to hear not making any noise -- I'll see if I can find it.)

(That said, Deepak never passed the initial smell test for me.)

I haven't read Bohn, but will look into it. Definitely post that quantum tree thing. Btw, I am traveling for the week, so my hubskiing will be patchy at best. :)
