And so it was a very direct address kind of thing. There's a conceit about Henry Fielding who wrote Tom Jones. When I read Tom Jones, I was 18 years old. I was riding the subway all the time and I was laughing out loud at it.

And I thought, what a wonderful gift from 200 years previous from this guy who had the arrogance or just the confidence to say, this is probably the best book you'll ever read in your life. He says it right there, right out. And I thought, that's what I want to have. I want to establish that kind of a relationship with whoever might be reading the book at the time and say, it's us together.

I know you're there. And I'm with you. You're with me. Let's go do this. And that arrived, I don't know, 60, 70 pages into the book when I suddenly thought, OK, I got to explain this about Henry Fielding. So he's in there. You can blame him if you want to.

It was a nice device, but it also, it sort of, it got rid of the idea that there was any distance between us, between my telling of the story and the reader. And it will always be in an immediate sense. The time collapses into the book, and there is no time in it. There is no chronology, but there is the sort of, but whatever, you bounce from one place to the next. Like life is just a bauble.

You can just say, I'm going from here to there. I'm going to South America right now. I'm going to go back to Southern California. And you just take them with you.

Yeah, I think it is.

Yeah, I think it is.

So it's a reflected sort of word puzzle, I guess, that sort of indicates where my brain's been.

Esther's pretty gifted. I've known a few gifted people. I mean, I produced a show called Medium. And I guess that was part of it. I was always kind of in that community a little bit. And I found out, of course, everybody who's a medium actually wants a television show. So it was like a lot of people contacted me for a while. And you do find out that some are really gifted.

Some are, you know, okay, yeah, maybe they're getting hits. Maybe they are accurate some of the time. who doesn't know you, who's accurate about your life 70% of the time, pulls names out of the air, you may as well pay attention.

Whatever your point is, or whatever jaundiced view you may have of the whole mediumship issue, because Greg Laurie's a pal of mine, and he's not particularly happy about being sort of on the evangelical scale. He's sort of more toward conservative and they're not so crazy about this idea of channeling.

However, I always think to myself, well, isn't Ecclesiastes, not Ecclesiastes, but Revelation, isn't that a channeled book? I mean, didn't John sit there and didn't Jesus come and visit him and talk to him? And so there are examples in the Bible, but I suppose they just want you to deal with the fact that they're in the Bible, not necessarily in your life.
