Thank you for the info Manning.
I have clarified SOM and SODV below.
Also could somebody explain Mu to me a little better?
I have been on this list for about a month now and I
have heard this strange word come up time and time
again. Does it have any thing to do with DQ? Or is it
more like inner nature? Tell me if I am getting
closer.
