You made a statement about your research. Just curious, as I said before.

You are focusing on the messenger instead of the message.
You know, one of the many reasons I value the principal Upanishads is that, unlike the books of the bible, the principal Upanishads are not named after their presumed author, or their main protagonist. The focus is placed, correctly, upon the message.
Focus on what I say, not on who I am. All around you, there are a host of presumably sentient beings imploring you to believe your physical senses and not the still, small, voice of your immortal Self. You have a choice to make -- to believe them, or the message. The message is not mine. It is millenia old, although most mortals have always, in every age, pronounced it as foolishness.
"I know why you are here, Neo. I know what you have been doing ... why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer. You're looking for HIM. I know because I was once looking for the same thing. And when HE found me, HE told me I wasn't really looking for him. I was looking for an answer."
"It's the question that drives us, Neo. It is the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did."
"What is the Matrix? The answer is out there, Neo, and IT is looking for you, and IT will find you if you want IT to."
