Revising History

I don't see the quotes as necessarily factually contradictory. Eckhart defended himself successfully; Cage says, "brilliantly"; an Eckhart scholar says, not so much. Seems a matter of opinion.

Colledge sounded like someone with particular hopes for Catholicism. I looked him up -- he was a priest as well as a scholar.

hi Kyle,
I've had it in my head for years that the anechoic chamber was 1948, same time as his conception of Silent Prayer (though the causality was never clear to me). I wonder where in hell I got that from. Look forward to positive enlightenment.

About that last line, a post doc who mentored me (Richard Steinberg) used to say "The first 90% of a project takes 90% of the time. The last 10% takes the other 90% of the time."

I've used that quote a million times in my life. I hope someone else can make as much use of it...

KG replies: I hear you. I did enough work today to finish the book, then realized I've got just as much left.

You may already have said, but is there a publication date or approximate target for this book?

Just remember that even with an asymptotic approach to completion you'll still eventually finish. . . when T=Infinity.

:)

KG replies: There's only a deadline - three weeks ago.

I've read 100% of this book twice now, and still only really get 20% of it. What is that repetitive lecture all about? Beats me, completely.
