Dear Mr. Abdul Mutaal,

 

Thanks for taking the trouble of reading my random rambling, for replying to me and for your kind comments. You said that you took my compliments with humility. Humility is the sign of a true scholar and you surely are one. I had already noticed that when you gracefully and elegantly bowed out of the pointless argument with Mr. Rashid Mughal.

 

I agree that the points you noted that require further discussions are material for a long drawn discussion. I look forward to having that discussion with you. I’m sure I will learn a lot.

 

One of those points as written by you is “The presumed connection between QM and mysticism allegedly propounded in my article.” I was really under the impression that you made that connection but I was probably wrong. Seeing that you agree with my points on New Age spiritualists’ unfounded connection to QM gives more credence to the fact that it was a false assumption. I apologize for that. I have had one too many pitched battles with New Age proponents in recent past so maybe it was a case of trigger-happiness on my part. My comment of “Where is the spookiness?” was also in that reference.

 

I have some disagreements with some of the points mentioned in the later part of your reply but I’m afraid discussing them would take our discussion out of the context of “Mysteries of Mysticism”. I’m sure, thanks to FOTH, we’ll have ample opportunities to discuss them in future.

 

Thank you again,
