Dear E, I believe it was I who pumped the book. I cannot tell a cherry tree. It is a lot of years since I read the book. I was not aware there was a question as to the veracity of the author.

I don't remember the story (in terms of detail), but I remember it rang true to me. However, I was quite Rogerian at the time--so I was very sympathetic to the idea of allowing people to discover their own reality, rather than have it imposed on them by others. I think I still have that sense that every life is private, precious, and personal.

I do not find the book's premises unbelievable. I had some litle experience with various modalities of personal encounter and exploration, etc. I saw first hand incredible transformations of character, so I don't dismiss such narrations out of hand. At the same time, your suspicions may well be true. If I were to reread it with a purposeful skepticism, I might perhaps catch a clue. I would really like to hear what X thinks. My experiences definitely give me a bias.
