My husband Bert's dream.  

It started when he noticed, through his sense of touch, that he could gain access to the knowledge that everything was interconnected by touching a table and knowing where the tree came from that built it.  He knew who was the logger who cut the tree etc.

He went to see the U.S President and explained to him to fight terrorism the conventional way with people and armies was futile.  The way to go about it was to teach people, to educate them, about Buddhist philosophy especially egolessness.  He spent time explaining it to him and the congressional representatives in the Whitehouse.  
The President said if you can convey that to our enemy then he would go along with the idea.  

Bert then proceeded to Afghanistan.  He went to Mr. Bin Laden's house in Kabul and did the same, by touching something of Mr. Bin Laden's, that allowed him to know his where abouts.  

He found him and told him that he needed to educate the Muslim world about the concept of ego.  Bert proceeded to explain to him the concept that everything and everyone are interconnected.  
Together they went to the ruins of the big Buddha statue, and he touched the debris and the statue reappeared undamaged.  

Everything being interconnected made a believer out of Mr. Bin Laden

Then Bert woke up.

        I like this one! ive only read two of them so far but i really like this one... perhaps Bert has within him the ability to actually help (aid) such a task... not to underestimate ones own abilities when something appears too large to sculpt... a tall tree or rock is hard to sculpt when they tower over you but its not "towering" if you look at it in the right way...
