A man handed me a book today. I asked if he liked it? His face lit: “metaphysical stuff.” He left, beaming. I cracked it open. And this is the beginning:
The Star Rover, Chapter 1: All my life I have had an awareness of other times and places. I have been aware of other persons in me. —Oh, and trust me, so have you, my reader that is to be. Read back into your childhood, and this sense of awareness I speak of will be remembered as an experience of your childhood. You were then not fixed, not crystalized. You were plastic, a soul in flux, a consciousness and an identity in the process of forming —Ay, of forming and forgetting.
