Ah, so that's where the notion came from. Funny how one can forget one's sources (hence cryptomnesia).

I have the book besides me now. Interested to in talk to Dr. Sagan if he is still around.

Though I strongly suspect that these "entities" are fragments of our psyches turned anonymous, not some nonhuman phenomena from "out there." (hence the desire for chocolate!)

Missed that Freudian typo till now. Hive mind anyone? (Should read autonomous)

Sure dude. That overwhelming desire to eat newspapers is coming from the shattered astral body of the German Shepard that died down the street. Its not your fault.

(that was a joke, this individual does not eat newspapers)

I wish my higher self was less into chocolate and self-pleasure and more into horse racing. Or the stock market. I could use some solid tips.

avoid the stock market - tips dont get more solid than that.

Hard to find "non" sci fi novel (yes novel)

"Milton Lumpky Territory". Quite a bit to read between the lines.

Know anybody that has done a good review of it?

A displaced young man is on the road for sales and meets an older woman. They get together, he quits his job, and joins her business as partner with ideas for expansion and profit. He realizes first that his new lover was also his dominating elementary school teacher. The young man makes a grave business mistake. Milton Lumpky disrupts their lives with his needs. Milton Lumpky is kind of a drag. Open road. Flyover country. Cars. Sickness. Disease. Despair. 1950s.

I like the book better than the reviews I have read. Its been 5 or more years since last re-read the novel. PKD's "non" sci fi novels are easier to plot. I like them.
