Unexpurgatory
By AnonOmIs
For Jay Shiva and Tron Rayfield, M.D.
 
 
A Note to the Reader of the Online Edition
 This is a work of fiction, as are you, dear reader. If that assertion seemsfalse, itself a bit of fiction, well, take a closer look. We are all figments inGod’s imagination, and this work is wholly a figment of mine. Justkidding! The events depicted herein were actual occurrences that took place in the real world, with the exception of the short fictions “SuicideNote” and “Transanimation,” the parody “Play the Conches, Gents,” andsundry small pieces whose fantastic nature should be readily apparent.Names of some people, places and things have been changed. The name Iassumed here, AnonOmIs, is generally shortened to Om. As formetaphysics, I offer this snippet of philosophical dialogue:“Uh, well … ”“That’s a deep subject.”
 
I welcome you, gentle reader, to this eleven-year-old book that chroniclesthe psychedelic weekend and its six-month, sober aftermath that cappedmy two-decade, abstemious, and intermittently successful search for God,a search that culminates when the seeker and the sought become … gone.“God dwells within you, as you,” said Swami “Baba” Muktananda. Withthis understanding, meditate. See God in each other. And enjoy the book.

"Deadication, Onvacation, EncOmium" on pages fifty-five to fifty-eight is where I found my invitation to transformation, and healing began. Thank you.
