Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book of stories was written more or less 40 years ago, then stuck in a drawer while I made a living to support my family. It is an autobiographical fiction, which is an oxymoron, yes, but nonetheless true. That is to say, everything in this book is based on my own experience, sometimes exaggerated, sometimes romanticized, even sometimes pure wishful thinking. It is also an historical document, an attempt to describe through impressionistic descriptions what it was like to live through the 60's and 70's in the San Francisco Bay Area during the Age of the Hippies. Finally, and perhaps more importantly for me, this book is an endeavor to try to recapture my state of mind as I lived through a society torn apart by the Vietnam war, the continual American sickness of racism, and the generational divide: a turning point in my life. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

(6 x 1.1 x 9 inches) Includes a bibliography and index. 408 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. From the Preface: "Standing behind the words in this book, like the falcon god Horus enclosing Pharaoh in his wings, is the leitmotif of man's consciousness. After much study, reflection, and also visits to many ancient Egyptian monuments, I have come to the conclusion that the development of consciousness was the essential project of the priests of ancient Egypt, and that one of the means they used to achieve this end was the expression of spiritual truths by means of symbolism." Modern thought and ancient Egypt are both based on symbolism. While we think that our science is "true," in reality it is a symbolism of mathematical equations based on theories that may or may not conform to reality. The creation of the universe by the "Big Bang" is no more "true" than the creation by the Egyptian "god" Atum creating the world from Nun, the chaotic watery abyss. Their conception of creation was just as true for them as our conception is for us. Both are symbols of a reality unexplainable by the reasoning mind. The symbolism of ancient Egypt, contrary to what most Egyptologists say, has to do, we believe, not only with the afterlife, but with the development of man's consciousness in this life. Modern science only deals with what can be measured, thus limiting itself to the physical plane of existence and ignoring higher levels of consciousness that cannot be measured. Ancient Egypt did not have this limitation: their so-called "gods" were actually symbols for cosmic functions or laws that operated on every level of existence including that within man.
