Synopsis
Excerpt from As If: A Philosophical Phantasy
Containing bits of colored glass and crystal, things without value to others, but precious to me, for they were mine in the deepest sense - I had recognized their worth and claimed them from the oblivion other wise their doom. This, the treasure-boa: of my later years, is the child of that earlier one. I had hoped to arrange these fragments of thought into some mosaic; I had even aspired to a design - some grand conception -for a window in the Temple of Truth, through which others might see my vision and dream my dreams. But now as in those by-gone days, I_ offer only a kaleidoscope to those who would share my confidence. If you shut one eye tight and look hard with the other, you will see - I' beg your pardon, I was thinking of the other boas.

As If: A Philosophical Phantasy (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of interconnected letters and journal entries from individuals living in two separate dimensions. In one sphere we find Diocles, a mathematician who experiments with using an aeroplane for wireless communication and begins receiving messages from a woman named Agnes, in another dimension. Agnes, a philosopher devoted to poetry and mathematics, finds herself reincarnated as a woman named Mary James in Diocles' world. The book explores the concept of a fourth dimension, not yet perceived by those living in the third and how its onset brings mental aberrance and social unrest to people lacking the organ necessary to sense and navigate it. The author's use of mathematics illustrates how our physical world determines the limits of our consciousness and how we might evolve into a fuller expression of our consciousness as we evolve to perceive additional dimensions.
