A cult of personality forms around a clairvoyant and her past life memories.
“In the province of the mind, what is believed to be true is true or becomes true, within limits to be found experientially and experimentally. These limits are further beliefs to be transcended. In the province of the mind, there are no limits.”

Programming and Metaprogramming in the Human Biocomputer
For Mom.
Dolphins on Acid is fiction that draws on historical fact and belief. The characters and events portrayed in this book are fictitious. Any similarity to real persons, living or dead, is coincidental and not intended by the author. Any historical reference to people, places and organizations are thought to be accurately represented, though specific details may have been added, changed or omitted for creative purposes and/or clarity. These include Albert Hofmann, creator of LSD and Sandoz, the pharmaceutical company for which he worked; Dr. John C. Lilly and his work with dolphins and on the theories of programming human biocomputers; Chester Carlson, the inventor of xerography and his support of the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia; the coupling of Lise Tréhot and Pierre Auguste Renoir; artwork described, including The Torchbearers by Anna Hyatt Huntington, Satyr & Nymphs by William Bouguereau, In Summer: Study by Pierre Auguste Renoir, the Chrysler Museum of Art and the Hague in Norfolk, Virginia; the opera La bohème by Giacomo Puccini; December 1963 by Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons; Ellen White and the Seventh-day Adventist Church; Edgar Cayce and the Association for Research and Enlightenment, the CIA FOIA database; Thomas Jefferson’s anatomy theater and the history of grave desecration at UVA. While too numerous to mention, I used many other ideas from others. Everything else is imagined. Which is which, I leave to you.
