About meI was born in London UK and trained as an electronics engineer. I was involved in various Anglican churches and considered myself a Christian for over 20 years. Now though I'm inclined more towards Zen Buddhism. I changed my career to that of teacher when I emigrated to China in 2005. Main interests are in interdisciplinary/border regions surrounding personal development, philosophy, business and science/religion.
About my libraryI bought a lot of paperbacks related to Christianity when I was a student, more recently have branched out from there into almost anything... Still in the process of adding books as many are still in boxes after moving.

I do suspect that we have a local mind, here and now, and a non-local mind,
everywhere, and everywhen, like the non-local software in David Bohm's version of quantum theory. Zen calls them Little Mind and Big Mind. Once you contact Big Mind, even briefly, most of metaphysics and most of materialism seem rather unreal and besides the point.
