Copyright (c) 1995 by Jonathan W. Sodt Here's a character based on me (that is, if I chose to be obnoxious, and semi-ambitious, not to meantion serious about my beleifs...) Be it known that, though I even use my own name, this is entirely a farse on some people I've seen on T.V. and I have no intention of going this far myself... You don't have to take this seriously... Name: Jon :) Profession: Physics Prof. (Author, Minors in Philosophy and Comparative Religion) Height: 5 foot 11 inches Weight: 190 lbs Hair: blond Eyes: grey Age: 42 Description: This is a person who has taken some of the more outlandish sides of physics too far for his own good. Perhaps he has read Dianetics, by L. Ron Hubbard... In any case, he would argue that, although his beleafs are similar, if not the same as some of his colleges, they are entirely his own. You can find him, when he is not giving a seminar on his beleafs, in his office on campus, in a coffee house, or hiking the Highlands of Scotland (where the author would very much like to visit...). He wears somewhat dated clothing, consisting of 1920s to '40s garb, with a T-shirt or two thrown in for variety. He has a plethora of hats. His beleafs are as follows: There is One, this One is the universe, god, all, or whatever you want to call it. We are all part of this One and serve as building blocks of this One. All religions, all gods, and such are pretty much aspects of this One, and are perfectly respectable anyways. The trick to life, according to Prof. Jon, is that you can become attuned to this One through meditation and introspection. The goal of which is to become more aware of reality... Jon will go to great lengths of discussion to get this point accross, feiry eyed, and fully animated. People even PAY him to tell them how to acheive happiness in life, and he gets a big thrill out of playing messenger. *The whole thing makes him feel important...* Oh, and he's written a book about it, which has made the New York Times best seller list, and can be found in ANY bookstore for about 19.95...
