He found himself ... of his experiments and soon he was helping Ole with his experiments more than he was helping Herman with his experiments.

However, Watson felt justified because Herman was becoming less and less interested in teaching Watson because of Herman's current personal affairs (Herman and his wife ...

Ive wondered about the way life is connected and how life ... the tendency to view our ancestors and traditions to be inhibiting us from reaching some far off realization that no Buddha or Brahmin or anyone has ever obtained. In Conclusion, I do wish to continue studying religions beyond high school maybe it will lead me to some discovery.
