Transcript of A Brief Audiotape Interview with Nicky Thomas.

 

Interviewer: It has been reported that you are enlightened and it would

be of great interest to others if you could describe your everyday

experiences. For example, what is like for you to walk down a busy city

street?

 

Nicky: Walking down a busy city street? Well, this is a studio and not a

busy street. Something may get done if a walk is taken.

 

I: Er., I see okay, Never mind. Let's explore, if you don't mind, you

internal life. How do you see things? I mean, do you see things

differently than others?

that have various meanings.
