I confess that I was more interested in her as a woman than as a teacher or messiah.įinally, if you are reading this to discover her fate or even my fate, you are reading the wrong document. If you are reading this because you seek more insight into the message from the One Who Teaches, you may also be disappointed. They lived and died almost three centuries before I was born. I do not know what happened to most of them. If you are reading this because you are a fan of the old poet’s Cantos and are obsessed with curiosity about what happened next in the lives of the Hyperion pilgrims, you will be disappointed. If you are reading this to learn what it was like to make love to a messiah-our messiah-then you should not read on, because you are little more than a voyeur. You are reading this for the wrong reason.
