The Naked Truth about Time Loop by Lloyd Harrison Whitling

Time Loop — Lloyd Harrison Whitling

Dedication

Dedicated to Robert Rimmer, who inspired me to plod forward with

my work in spite of negative influences dominating our world today, to

take advantage of new opportunities that same world offers, and to

stay focused, as he did, until the battle is over. To my wife, who has

acted as my agent, my compadre, and my inspiration, who keeps track

of my muddled existence while I struggle for cogency: “Mary-Lou

Whitling, I love you.”

Acknowledgements

The ideas presented in this story are a compilation from many sources.

Robert Heinlein wrote strange and wonderful tales, as did Isaac Asimov,

which portray an admirable array of possibilities regarding what could

be, or is apt to be, real. Men like George Vetter (Magic and Religion) and

Colin Wilson, and many others, promoted a life with greater possibilities

with words I ingested like a porridge. Robert Rimmer’s books of

magickal lifestyles heightened my consciousness of the limitations

others impose upon us, usually without our awareness, usually with our

consent and approval, which keep all of us from becoming whomever

we were meant to be. To these men, and other men and women whose

words have heightened my own awareness of greater possibilities, I

hope you recognize my gratitude and debt.

To those whose efforts went against the tasks of writing and seeking

publishment, who sought to steer me away from it by sending me down

“more productive and rewarding pathways” I thank you for the things

you said and did that showed me how wrong you are. My indebtedness

to you is as great, and as tasty to acknowledge, as that expressed to the

more desirable people I have met in my lifetime.

"To deny a right to the experience of pleasure is immoral unless that denial can be justified by a valid presentation of how pain will result from that experience in an amount that would render the expected pleasure regrettable; or, if it can be shown that pain will be induced in others innocent of any involvement. The role of science in moral issues should be to test that, predict that, and find harmless ways to demonstrate that."
