	Rich, while I kind of agree with you, I am not so sure that
HPB "discussed" quantum mechanics or quantum theory.  I think that
she says mind *can* effect matter, but I don't recall her ever saying
that it *does* whether we like it or not.  The idea that matter follows
mind, and expresses it, is pure Christian Science, which HPB
rejected.  Could you give me some quotes to back up your thesis?
Maybe we could start a new thread?  This is an intriguing topic.
