This is not for those of you to whom even the most far-out ideas in this issue make sense.

Or those of you intimate with the vocabularies of parapsychology, metaphysics, and mind-expansion.

This is, rather, for those of you to whom much of the conversation here, about altered perception and the evolution of consciousness, out-of-the-body experience and other dimensions of reality, seems foreign and maybe idiotic.

We used to hear about the generation gap. Differences over politics and personal appearance and sexual behavior. It was never as simple as that. A different way of seeing is what divides the world today. A different way of understanding what we call reality. A different way of dealing with the mysteries of existence. A different way of coming to God.
