What are those glimpses of the underlying reality, deeper than normal perceptions?, break throughs, insights, when do they happen?, when I get an insight into something new, some new piece of knowledge, that keeps me seeking insights, the most recent was last night, after getting the gSpiceUI program to do something I'd been trying to do, it felt so good, this happens a lot with the computer, the moments that keep me pursuing such things. Are such things ultimately useful? At what level of usefulness? They make living easier, less stressful, or rather, they remove stress, sometimes the stress removed is pretty superficial, but it does bring the attention to a higher state of focus,
