The writing of The Epic Adventures of Linda in Life was inter- rupted between Part 2 Chapter 5 and Part 2 Chapter 6 by an entire series of "events" brought about by several readers of the "Epic" who, over a several month period, contacted me, in one way or another,to seek me out to (1) find out if I was "for real", (2) try to "teach me a lesson about 'demeaning' women etc.The writing of The Epic Adventures of Linda in Life was inter- rupted between Part 2 Chapter 5 and Part 2 Chapter 6 by an entire series of "events" brought about by several readers of the "Epic" who, over a several month period, contacted me, in one way or another,to seek me out to (1) find out if I was "for real", (2) try to "teach me a lesson about 'demeaning' women etc." or (3) "try me on for size and effect" to see if I could be their personal Master. Over all, the interruptions were what I would call "good for me" because they re-reminded me of just how little understood MP and linda's world really is, even among its socalled practitioners and advocates. I plan to deliver no lectures nor to pontificate in the remaining and voluminous chapters and parts of The Epic Adventures of Linda in Life. Nor will I castigate anyone in this introduction for their inter- ruptions and digressive distractions of me from this task. When you are honestly queried and questioned, you try, sincerely, to answer ALL, as best you can. In the category of "finding out if Master Paul is 'for real'", I encountered a wide assortment of psychologists, psychiatrists, parapsychologists and other professionals and para-professionals who, basically, were hell bent to prove their own personal evaluations of me, of linda and of people like us. I, for the most part, feel very very sorry for these "mind benders and fixers". In my special ways, I would caution those who "are like me and like linda" to be VERY CAREFUL about taking "advice", even from alleged or advertised professionals and para-professionals in the psychological and psychiatric professions and fields, UNLESS, THE ADVISOR(S) PERSONALLY ARE SPECIAL PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND I (and linda). Over my life time, I have read many many books of and about sadism, masochism, B&D, S&M, D&S and a whole variety of related subject areas. I have yet to find ANY writing that accurately describes what I have felt or what I have seen and felt in another, such as linda. I will say nothing further about that observation. It is a fact that has confronted me for a long long time. Perhaps more of us who do have this special people profile will eventually choose to write and elaborate upon what we are and why and how we handle it AMONG OUR OWN. We shall see. |
