‘I suppose I have a myth-making mind.’
Letter to David Hicks, January 1944
‘Uncle Tim shared this lack of identity. They sometimes discussed it. Does everyone feel like this, Benet had wondered. Tim had said no, not everyone did, admitting that it was a gift, an intimation of a deep truth: “I am nothing.” This was, it seemed, one of those states, achieved usually by many years of intense meditation, which may be offered by the gods “free of charge” to certain individuals.’
Jackson’s Dilemma, p. 11
