35. Superknowledge.

Back at the brownstone, they drank coffee and talked.

"The memories," Nan began. "How clear are they? I mean, when you remember other lifetimes, does it get confusing? Do you forget who you are sometimes?"

Sid leaned back, considering what she had asked. "I'm not anybody. Not any more."

"Right. No ego."

"No ego. No self."

"So the memories...how do you keep them organized?"

"Each one is its own life," he said. "It's all information. When it's looked at objectively, it organizes itself. When you take the framework away, truth, reality, takes its own form, its real form. This is what they call 'superknowledge.'"

"Which is also how you do that...that thing and get inside people's heads." He said nothing. She smiled. "Do you have a favorite lifetime?"

He smiled back. "Right now you're thinking that this is like an interview in a magazine, but about such a strange subject."

"You are a strange subject," she said. She made a little decision internally. "If you are what you say you are, it's the biggest news in the world, sitting in my house."

"And if I'm not what I say I am," he continued, "I am at very least a good case study."
