A very good learned friend of mine paid a visit to my home in New Mexico shortly after he had finished reading The Da Vinci Code and the first question out of his mouth was, "Do you know who was at the Last Supper?"  Without any hesitation I replied, "Well, I'll tell you one thing; it wasn't the 12 disciples!  In fact, Mary Magdalene was at the supper and I'm not even sure if there were actually 12 disciples at the time of Jesus' crucifixion?"  Robin went on to say, "How did you know that?  Have you read The Da Vinci Code?"  I reminded Robin that I was not in the habit of reading anything that might have in anyway influenced my own writings about the Age of Reality.  I had just finished writing, Interview with Jesus in the Hot Tub, and even I was a bit astonished at some of the details revealed about Jesus' life while writing from a purely inspirational position.  I admire Dan Brown for attempting to write such a revealing bit of history and with such authority.  Of course, my own take on this bit of inspirational writing is the result of Dan Brown and myself being able to do one of two things.  First, I concur with Carl Yung's  concept of a universal mind that is accessible to anyone that may be so gifted.  And secondly, I still contend that there are some of us who have a greater access to our own inherited store of genetic memory.
