Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Livery of Eve IN this lower world, this home of maya, where all is doubt, illusion, deception, some few things have been rescued from uncer tainty, definitely established for us, and won out of chaos: as, for example, this: that two straight lines cannot enclose a space. Nay, there are even pundits who have ventured, greatly daring, to lay down, that two bodies cannot, at the same moment, occupy the same space. But in Europe, we still do not solidly know, as the Hindoos do, that two souls cannot simul taneously occupy the same body. Not, indeed, that this important law is anywhere laid down, totidem verbis, in the books. But it is a rigid inevitable deduction from all those of their stories which turn on what we may term Possession, or the temporary occupation, by any given soul or spirit, of a body not properly its own. A soul in any body must leave it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
