sending them. I _think_ I am following Jerry's post, and I find it<br>interesting. But my grasp is tenuous enough that I will not trust my own<br>guess as to the intended text represented here by "concept that their<br>
our separate 'selves'." "That there are separate 'selves'"? Or is "_our_<br>separate 'selves'" correct, and something is missing to give that<br>phrase content?<br><br>Carrol<br>___________________________________
