     A CONTINUING NOTE,   and  A SECOND;  ONE-SCREEN BELOW

     Following the two lines of equal signs below ====  is 
the last of  the  241   initial  essays  that were written 
during an initial  professional sabatical at Coe  College. 

     The 241  initial essays were  made available  to many 
members of   the  faculty,   administrators,  students  at 
Coe College, and some scientific  and  political  leaders; 
with little substantive response from them. 

     However,  one woman who was a student and  was rarely 
in the Physics Department read the set of essays and  then 
made  gracious moves toward initiating a personal dialogue 
with the writer who was slow to take the hints;  resulting 
in  a more pointed and successful effort to open dialogue. 
After a few conversations, a  copy of a just-written-essay 
inspired-by-the-conversations,   was sent to Kathy via the 
campus mail;  and soon Kathy had  dropped  on the writers' 
office-desk a response written  "in the voice"  of the new 
essay.  About 15  essays were written/exchanged during the 
ensuing conversations.    They follow this note and essay. 
There are indications of who wrote the various essays.   

     These conversations  marked a meaningful   transition 
between the writing of the initial 241  essays and writing 
the thousands of  additional essays  during the  following 
years ---  stimulated by additional dialogues  with  other 
students during the following years;  some of  whom worked 
to  make   possible   the publication of the full  set  of 
essays on the world-wide-web.   Without their  sympathetic 
support  and work,  this set of essays would  never   have 
been  made  as available as they are now.     Their  great  
efforts   are all deeply appreciated as essential steps to 
this place.

     Some  persons  are  explicit  in  their  worship  and 
participation  in worship rituals.   Such persons are open 
to  criticisms  of  others  and  may  profit  from   those 
criticisms,  especially when they are offered by a helpful 
prophet. 

     Some   persons  know  not  what  they  worship.   Via 
collusions their worship is unknown and beyond  criticism.  
Such  persons  are not open to criticisms of  others  with 
respect  to:   the dominant focus of their  lives,   their 
ultimate concern, their essential self-images, their value 
system, their notions of good and evil, their hierarchy of 
values,   and  their  participation in  reality.    As  an 
unknown, their worship is beyond criticism. 

     Some  would  say  that  they do  not  participate  in 
worship.   They are usually correct in the sense that they 
do  not take part in activities usually known as  worship.  
But,   it is helpful to ask if man can avoid  all  worship 
without ceasing to live.  The answer to such a question is 
clouded  by the essential uncertainties of  real  peoples' 
living.   Rationalistic analysis is not likely to yield  a 
mutual  understanding  of the situation.  It  may  not  be 
helpful. 

     Some seek to maintain standards of good and evil, and 
to  achieve  acceptability in terms  of  those  standards.  
There  is  a motivation to accomplish and receive  praise.  
Credit must go where it is due, and it is "hoped"  that it 
is due self with sufficient frequency to maintain hope and 
meaning for self who knows not a fail-safe context. 

     Some seek to be helpful to others and become the  way 
in which the new becomes known.    They-have an  awareness 
that  power and creativity merely flow through them;   not 
originating  within  them.   They have a mutual  awareness 
that  the acceptance of praise for what appears  as  their 
accomplishments,   will  not be honest to  the  nature  of 
reality.    They are aware of their need to  worship  that 
which transcends their understanding and full control,  in 
order  to  sustain  the essential  uncertainties  of  real 
living. By explicit rituals of worship they seek to escape 
the  enslavement of worship ---  which is unknown  through 
collusions.
