I wanted to speak sincerely with you, exchanging, relating that which we know. I wanted to discuss mathematics and science, words that have almost magical meaning to us: magical because of some mutualities in our experience. Yes, I wanted to speak of the relatedness of things that seem unrelated. I wanted to solve the riddle of the tesseract with you as our people sat together to solve the riddles of the Universe in the past. The enigmatic acceptance reflected in the structural symmetry in the concept, "sphinx." The flowing geometry of the pyramids in Giza, and in Teotihuacan. The paradox of Pythagoras... I wanted to participate culturally with you as our people have participated in the past: face to face, i small groups, telling the stories that have been handed down, generation to generation.
