    Hi Robin Faichney --

    >But what I find more interesting is why you insist
    >that I'm necessarily making divine distinctions.

    Because I can't for the life of me see where within the material universe
    you think this 'no-self' has come....

    And I equate all contentions of the supernatural with the divine.

    And you don't (am I wrong about this) contend that no-one is born without
    it, but that, after periods of specialized training, one can nevertheless
    'lose' it, this self thingee....

    Or is it perhaps that what you don't call the self is the same thing I do
    call it?
