MD and GEB?

No, it's not. It just happens to contain these same subjects. At the 
time of it's publishing (or shortly thereafter) I read the book and 
thought 'Wow!' Obviously I was too young then...
Those topics you refer to are topics that you can find in almost any 
publication on Zen Buddhism for Western people, because they do appeal 
to these folks most. You hardly ever find talk about them in Eastern 
texts and certainly never in the Pali Canon. So, consider them floozies 
(maybe?).

I've not been here long enough to tell
if this had been asked before, but...
Talking about the L.E.D. and Mu and the speculation on the
buddhahood (or soul) of a non-human, any agreement that this is a 
reference to
Godel, Escher, Bach (by Douglas Hofstadter)?
