(If you would like to add a few comments that may be helpful to future readers, let me know and we may be able to add them as well.)
[1] Page 8, Paragraph 2, last sentence. Gold asks – What would be the nature of something better for (the fish in the tank)? How would you answer this question for your self?
[2] Page 9, Paragraph 6 – What if one fish – let us call him Redfin – suddenly grasped his situation and distinctly understood the fact that he was a fish in a tank? Can we “suddenly grasp? What is that process for you?
[3] Page 13, Paragraph 3, last phrase – “he would be able to obtain definite firsthand evidence of the higher dimension outside the tank.” Do we have first hand knowledge of the higher dimension? If so, can we discern it and communicate it? (also see Chapter 16 – Attack at Dawn)
