	I'll definitely read thru this one, Steve.  Thanks for the reference.

re .1:

You won't do it in an evening.  He makes some fascinating connections, many
of which are found in highly respectable journals.

There *is* more in Heaven and earth than is dreamed of in most philosophies.

		I am almost finished with uper nature and I'd have to agree 
	that it does have a clearer ring of truth to it.  I find now that I
	have a lot more to inout on many of these notes in this file.  He
	covers a lot of different angles to convince the reader of a firm
	and measurable connection of all things.  He gives more credit to
	some of the occult and ties it in with science pretty well.  When
	I finish the book I'm going to put together a more detailed
	critique and maybe draw some parallels between this and the "ALF"
	book.

Jorge' and others:
	Please note also the _detailed_ citations watson makes concerning
books and journals of legitimate scientific stature.  What claims he makes
either are labeled as speculation or are backed up _strongly_ with citations,
most of which are impeccable.  I cannot give a parallel comparision to
the ALF book, because most of his "facts" are either unsupported, based on
previous suppositions of his, or misunderstandings of situations (like the
John Campbell anecdote).

	    Is he the guy who wrote _Lifetide_?

Sounds right.  I know for sure he wrote _Sorcerer of the Bolinas Reef_.

    I am reading Supernature at the moment, 'bout half way through.
    I first borrowed it from my local library when I was 12, but I wasn't
    able to understand it, so it was returned to the library until my
    mental ability had developed and I had time to give it the attention
    it warrants.
    
    I, in fact, read the follow up book 'Romeo Error' first as supernature
    was out on loan (local library), I also have the next in the series,
    "Beyond Supernature", which I am looking forward to reading. 
    
    I have enjoyed both books immensely, and find his logical (scientific?)
    approach and analysis satisfying.  I believe in 'supernature' but
    I also need 'proof' of how and why these things happen/exist; these
    books solve my dilemma.
    
    Are there any other books, in a similar vein, that anyone can
    recommend?
    
    All for now

    PS: to Steve Kallis,  I may not be adding much to the notesfile,
    but I am learning in the background, the only problem is I don't
    seem to be learning enough, quickly enough 8-}!

    The book is very useful, but it's a tentative first step.  His approach
    is "scholarly'; i.e., he does literature searches do correlate findings
    and observations done elsewhere.
    
    However, the book should be looked at critically: an open mind,
    but with enough flexibility to adjust for changes as any are
    discovered.

    1) your observations add to the notesfile; don't apologize.
    
    2) none of us learn enough, quickly enough.  The problem is, as
    I've "noted" elsewhere, separating the real wheat from the chaff.
    And alas, that takes time!
