'That is I — that is I.' "When I was about twenty years old I began to have an almost nightly experience of my body coming out of my body, and going sometimes on long trips. The trips were usually delightful. I have always kept those experiences mostly to myself I won't go into details here, though I can do so if you ask it.
"My trips continued for many years, and I could, and did, make myself float in the air at will. The floating was exactly as you have pictured it. I would always begin lying horizontally over my body, float outwards, then assume an upright position.... The experiences became more rare, and now I very seldom have one. I have not yet read your book, not even the Preface, it was the amazement — the actual shock — of seeing those marvellously accurate illustrations which prompted this letter."
