Why, yes I did, gOBbi! I read the book with an open mind, and it spooked me a little bit. Either he truly did experience those astral projections to the planet, Hercolubus, OR, he meant well by what he wrote in that book. What’s your take on it?

Couldn’t you tell by the first few pages that the Author was incapacitated in some way? I felt like he was writing this from his death bed. I find that people in that situation seem a bit more desperate to make sense of their lives before it is completely over. Lots of contradictions, rationalizing, catagorizing, definately anti- American, etc. I think it was merely one dying mans ideas & not based on fact or theory. Should have been promoted as Science Fiction & not really Science. So what did I walk away with? I live in an awesome country that allows me the freedom to control my own life and destiny thru the choices I make for myself. Perhaps if I lived in a poor place, couldn’t see a way out, and had no hope, I would write fantasy too. What’d you think? }~)

I concur, gOBbi. You said that quite eloquently. (Now, I can sleep at night. Whew! lol)
