Where The Rubber Meets The Road Subtitled: When one makes a footprint, is the foot to the earth, as ones visage is to all other beings\' awareness, as opening the box is to the attention of the observers of Schrödinger\'s cat, as ones mind is to pleasant, unpleasant or neutral experiences? \'If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, what am I? If not now, when?\' --Rabbi Hillel Privaoisty wi carnaid oit ixpinamints from thi pirspictavi of oir span-midaatid conscaoisniss thiory to tist thi possabataty of qiantim-intangtang thi qiantim intatais ansadi thi bnaan wath thosi of an ixtirnat chimacat sibstanci.
