[ 0 → 27] We got caught off again, and that's a typical sign that I experience when it's time to end [ 27 → 45] a conversation. It was great talking to you. God has allowed all this information to be [ 45 → 56] stored up and processed in my mind. [ 56 → 57] As the Germans say, [ 57 → 69] And it hasn't, the translation, it's not the product of my own manure pile. [ 71 → 75] What's true in it is the work of God. [ 75 → 90] And for the glory of God and the welfare of others, [ 92 → 96] which is the Dominican vocation, [ 99 → 102] Contemplata out alia stradere. [ 105 → 113] And I wasn't able to speak so freely until a few years ago. [ 116 → 122] It's taken a long time to make me a teacher. [ 125 → 128] For God to make me a teacher. [ 129 → 131] And now I have this ability. [ 133 → 134] And, [ 134 → 135] and, [ 135 → 138] the problem is, [ 138 → 140] what do I do with it? [ 142 → 145] What I desperately need [ 145 → 154] is a way of recording such communications [ 154 → 161] and then converting them into editable text [ 161 → 165] so that I can publish them [ 165 → 165] and, [ 166 → 166] uh, [ 166 → 169] either on the internet [ 169 → 171] or [ 171 → 173] perhaps even [ 173 → 174] physically [ 174 → 176] in [ 176 → 179] article or book form. [ 182 → 185] I used to be [ 185 → 187] held up [ 187 → 189] in [ 189 → 193] what do we call it? [ 193 → 194] Uh, [ 194 → 194] uh, [ 194 → 195] uh, [ 195 → 204] I slowed up in writing because I felt the need to document everything that I said. [ 207 → 218] I've learned now to dispense with documentation because I can't do it anymore. [ 218 → 246] And because the truth has ultimately to stand on its own legs and not on the podium of other people who are cited as sources. [ 248 → 260] The medieval scholastics had no qualms about stealing ideas from each other. [ 260 → 278] Thomas teaches that regarding spiritual, mental or intellectual things, [ 278 → 283] there's no patent right, no copyright. [ 285 → 292] They're free to be, free to diffuse. [ 292 → 307] And the only payment that can be expected for them is for manual work and material. [ 308 → 319] That is used to put them down on paper or type them into a computer [ 319 → 332] and then publish them on paper or electrically. [ 333 → 337] You have to, somebody has to pay for the paper. [ 338 → 341] Or the elective bill. [ 341 → 363] So, I'll close this now with the fondest. [ 368 → 373] Expressions of my affection for you, Alan, though we've never met. [ 374 → 376] I look forward to meeting you soon. [ 378 → 384] And as I said, pray over it. [ 385 → 394] But from my point of view, I need you desperately here. [ 395 → 396] To. [ 398 → 399] Compliment. [ 399 → 404] What I can, what I'm giving. [ 404 → 420] And make it intelligible to scientists, because I can only make it intelligible to people [ 420 → 423] like yourself and others who, even though they are scientists. [ 423 → 424] I'm not. [ 424 → 425] I'm not. [ 425 → 426] I'm not. [ 426 → 427] I'm not. [ 427 → 428] I'm not. [ 428 → 441] are more or less people sitting on the edge between science and philosophy, faith. [ 442 → 451] So, I'll leave you go now, and beg God's blessing upon you. [ 451 → 464] So, it's, okay, yeah, God bless you.
