Re: Hawking at Berkeley and Theosophy

Dear Chuck and the rest of the List.-

I have decided to share this e-mail that I received from a friend who lives in Berkeley, California. It has to do with Theosophy, so it is appropriate to bring it to the list.

Hi A.

Gene told me about your e-mail to me that ended up somewhere in limbo. That happens sometimes. I guess the system is not fault proof. This news coming from Stephen Hawking is very interesting. No need for a Judeo-Islamic-Christian creator. In the Eastern religions the manifested universe originates or unfolds out of a reflection of the Un-manifest, or Absolute, which remains after manifestation. This--the Un-manifest has no relation to the manifested universe since the Absolute cannot have a relation to the relative.

Thank you, I enjoy reading your e-mails.

Howıs this for an idea? The University of California at Berkeley (rah) has
mailed out copies of Stephen Hawkingıs Briefer History of Time to all its
new freshmen and urged them to read it. To follow up, itıs organizing small
group discussions all over the campus between now and March when Hawking
comes to talk. His appearance at Zellerbach is already sold out, damn it
all. But theyıre working on a way to big screen it for the spillover crowd
in the plaza. Now thatıs a university with an imagination. Way to go
Berkeley!!! And thanks to the anonymous rich guy who footed the bill for
the books.

One little problem. Hawking has suggested that the universe might actually
be self-contained, without boundaries of time and space. That would suggest
no creator.

There go the first three words of the Bible. Does that mean we have to
cancel?
