Magical Thinking: A Journey into the Irrational

Latchford introduces the rational skeptic to the possibility of magic but without stupefying him with new age affirmations. He looks at the way human goes about solving his everyday problems, and how the use of fiction (and myth) is key to this process. The manuscript is in itself a ritual of invocation, a journey into the irrational. It impresses upon the reader to awaken inside an interactive reality―an unfolding storyline in which he must play the lead role.

Through his command of idiom and metaphor, human can awaken to an unspeakable mystery-the irresistible force of a storyline when it is in full flow. It is the story of the self that is on one hand real, and on the other fictional. For the human 'soul' is conceived inside the body of a storyline-born of an elaborate fiction so that it might become real. The self cannot exist without the story of the self being told. It identifies with every hero, and sometimes the villain is the real hero.
