ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

To George Jaidar I owe my insight into fear as a learned reaction, and though the elaborations are mine, I have borrowed from him the term “guilting” and the horse and rider analogy. Though my usage is quite different, I have borrowed “metaprogramming” from John Lilly’s book, Programming and Metaprogramming in the Human Biocomputer.

My dedication to my publisher speaks for itself. Finally, my gratitude to Karen Hinds for her kindness and assistance, her red-pencil editing, proofreading, and stubborn refusal to let my obscurities pass unchallenged.
