When you read this incredible story,
do not be too skeptical;
somewhere in your own past
there may be some lost hour
or strange recollection
that means that you also
have had this experience.
This book is about forming a new relationship
with the unknown.
Instead of shunning the darkness,
we can face straight into it with an open mind
When we do that, the unknown changes.
Fearful things become understandable
and a truth is suggested;
the enigmatic presence of the human mind
winks back from the dark.
