Not in connection with this particular message (I deleted the one I am =
"responding" to), but I feel compelled to admit to owning a document =
signed on 28 October 1950 by Geoffrey Faber.
Should I feel that the space in which I live and keep the said document =
is, "as of now," contaminated?
And, if so, what should I fumigate with?

Dear JP,
I have to think over everything you said, but there is a preliminary =
point that I'd like to stress. I agree with you that the Absolute is =
supernatural. "Nature" is just another word for time and its contents. =
An atemporal pattern lies outside Nature, although Nature itself is =
"made of" partial and imperfect manifestations of this pattern. Even so, =
I think that Eliot's Love (here understood as a basic cosmic principle, =
and not as an individual subjective attempt of "sympathising" with this =
principle) is much more akin to the Tao than to the Christian God. =
Eliot's intentions could be Christian, but I think his results are not. =
Jesus Christ in the Quartets is no more than a good metaphor, a good =
"hint". Any "intersection" between the temporal and the atemporal order =
would do, and this is what any mystical experience is supposed to bring =
about.
