ESCAPE INTO THE PAST IS A FORM OF MENTAL SUICIDE
Second class postage paid at Enid, Oklahoma.

POLICY: Don't take it so damn' seriously.
The infiniteness of Man is not reduced
to a"split inanity" by wars, taxes,
or"experts" who seek to sell him what
he already has in an infinite amount.

Sub-Policy: We reserve the right to change
our minds from issue to issue, or
even from page to page, if we desire.

Sub-Sub-Policy: Each Man has the inherent
right to be his own and only " Authority" -- with his wife's permission.

Sub-Sub-Sub-Policy: We have no objection to
"educated guesses" about Man's destiny -- if there's no price tag to it,
and if the guesser has no objection to
our guessing that he's only guessing.

As was to be expected, last
month's Auditorial, "Tenant
Wastes a Lifetime as Valet and
Housekeeper", brought a flood
of protests, especially from
those who have built a habitpattern of pampering the body
with some brand of psychoanalysis. There were some approving letters, too, but these
were greatly in the minority.
"If you ignored the body,
it'd get to the point where it
would stink so bad, everybody
would ignore you! " one critic
quipped -- but we think she was
making a play on words, rather
than reasoning. Anyway, what
we said had nothing to do with
bathing or taking care of the
body's physical needs. What we
objected to was typified by
another obj ector: "For years ,
I've floundered around trying
to make a success of myself. I
have a degree from one of the
best colleges in the State; I
am one of the most popular men
in my social set; my father is
wealthy enough that he can afford to give me good clothes,
gives me an allowance, and I
have my own car -- and a promise of a well-paying job when
I get ready to settle down.
However, I have been trying to
find out my background -- who I
was in previous lifetimes -- so I
can take advantage of all the
special knowledge and skills
that must be hidden in my subconscious. A genius in art or
letters should not be forced
to waste that talent by learning to sell, or sit behind a
desk and dictate to stenographers.
"Which is exactly the opposite of what your auditorial
for September recommended. Do
you or do you not believe in
reincarnation? And don't you
think talents should be carried over from one lifetime to
another? Think of the geniuses
we could create if we didn't
have to start every lifetime
from scratch?"
On the face of it, the above to contact one's memory of
