## Look Jeff,

Allow me to just speak frankly. I just want to go back to doing my basic research and science. which is what I am good at. Christof is coming and staying over next weekend, and we will work and discuss various ideas through the weekend for his new book. That is where my comfort level lies. I have an enormous amount of unique information in my head, which I want to get out, based on over 16 years of work in this field. This is not a momentary impulse, but one that has been around for many years, and I have been trying to sell some assets to enable me to complete this work, which, will be of some substantial use to the field.

I was hoping to sell the Newton portrait, but the economic times have been very difficult, and people are not inclined to part with cash these days. Normally, I have been successful in my own business activities to allow me to freely support my work without grants and other normal means. This has stopped, and will not resume until the economic climate changes. I can't concentrate on any science now, because we have to eak out a basic living, and so it is a complete distraction. I need to be able to concentrate on this, and not worry about either saving the world or eaking out a living.

I can say this, that the work that I will produce will give you personally endless hours of delight, wonder, and astonishment, especially as you personally will be able to interact with these effects, thereby, giving you a deep insight into how your own brain works.

I will send you some information on the Newton, which you can follow up on. Of course, I would be happy to sell it to you. Just want to get back to doing my work...

I can't say it's a "wacky" idea, nor will it not have larger benefit, but it certainly would be helpful.

Cheers,
me
