These words are pulled forth from me by you. I have no identification with them, this book is just the transcript of words spoken to us listening, demanding that they b be spoken. Wo whose book is it? When beautiful music is played on a violin, would you go up and thank the violin? I'm just the mouthpiece for a process. What you're doing when you read this book is you're touching your self. Forget me, I am passing show. You're touching yourself.
