I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in
uncorrelated tabulations and then deleting the emails.
(I know this loses interesting correlation data, but if
resondents want anonymity it's hard to avoid.)
I know that this anonymity promise depends on trust and that
you have no particular reason to trust me. Someday, I hope.
I will post results Saturday.

which changed as one looked. The path was soft under-
foot, and it needed little urging on the part of my Guide
to persuade me to enter.
We moved in, and it was as if we were in a great Temple,
a Temple without dark, clean, with an atmosphere that
simply made one feel that this was Life. Through the main
body of the building we went, until we came to what on
Earth I would have called the Abbot's room. Here there
was comfortable simplicity, with a single picture of the
Greater Reality upon the wall. Living plants were about
the walls, and from the wide windows one could see across
a superb expanse of parkland.
We sat upon cushions placed upon the floor, as in Tibet.
I felt at home, contented almost. Thoughts of my body
back on Earth still disturbed me, for so long as the Silver
Cord was intact, I would have to return. The Abbot-I
will call him that although he was much higher-looked
about him, then spoke. "From here we have followed all
