I listened to the interview yesterday.

The interviewer was very understanding of what Tom was saying.

By the way Tom, do you never get tired of telling your background every time? :p
You should be pretty good at it now at least :)

But I guess there is no other way, it is important to someone completely new to you.

Good interview!

I really liked this interview, focused, informative and no fluff. This is a very good interview!

Personally, there is one particular comment that resonates with me and even though I have heard Tom say it many times, it still stands out for all the obvious reasons, at times I forget.

Here are the above mentioned comments, Tom says basically the same thing close to the beginning of the interview and then once again close to the end.

"If you don't experience it, you don't really understand it."

"Interpretation is personal, it has to do with your own experience base, you can only interpret things that you've experienced"

and of course the interview will only be as good as the interviewer :)

Of course you're right, Bette. But this won't be an ideal world until 2012 ;-)

PS You're missing a "U" out of "All is Consciousness". Is that because "Consciousness" is only "I"? I reckon it's U2.
