life.

| have had the interesting
experience over the last year
of acting as an editorial ad-
viser to an old friend, Lee
Pulos, a clinical psychologist
who has been writing a book
about a wildman psychic ‘in
Brazil.

Thanks to a_ successful
entrepreneural run as a co-
founder of the Spaghetti
House chain, Lee has had a
unique opportunity to travel
around the world virtually at
will, seeking, well, the mean-
ing of life.

Maybe that’s putting it too
broadly. But maybe it isn’t.
Lee has been studying such
phenomena as _ psychic
surgery, spoon-bending,
teleportation, ESP,  clair-
voyance and things _para-
normal,

He has been putting what
he has learned into words.
And it ain’t easy.

The stuff Lee has been
videotaping, photographing,
tape recording, testing,
analyzing and puzzling over
is pretty weird, any way you
cut it. His main subject,
Brazilian superpsychic
Thomaz Coutinho, has done
such bizarre things as
vanishing — ‘‘dematerializ-
ing’’—-before Lee’s eyes,
creating fabulous statues out
of tinfoil just by cupping the
stuffing his hands, causing
metal folding chairs and
spoons alike to melt at his
touch, and bringing dead
tissue to life in the form of an
insect.

ND NOW FOR A CHANGE of pace. Let’s
get back to talking about the meaning of

Probably the most mind-
boggling encounter, for me,
was a session with Deep Cove
psychic David Young. He
just saw too may things for
him not to be tapping into
some very mysterious wave-
lengths.

blue.

What? More publicity for
that disreputable psychic
trash?

Can’t say I blame them.
I’ve had a chance to examine
Lee’s study. I know the man.
I} can look him in the;eye.
And STILL it all seems too
wild to believe, even though I
am absolutely convinced he
was recording the facts,
m’am.

A decade ago—well, make
that more like two decades
ago—] also scoffed at tales of
psychokinesis, precognition
and telepathy. But like most
grown people, I have seen too
many inexplicable things
happen in life for the ‘‘para-
normal’’ to be totally
dismissed.

strange turf. Isn't the mere
fact of existence a little,
ahem, paranormal? What
universe are we existing in
anyway?

And while we’re at it, what
IS a universe? What am I? Is

the universe a seamless con-
tinuum in which nothing is
really separate? Are we all
part of the same thing?

Am 1 you and you are me
and we are altogether. Like
that?

Not content to merely
document a zillion cases of
bizarre weirdness, my friend
Lee has made a magnificent
effort to make sense of it all.

Ambitious? Sure thing. If
you're going to theorize
about the nature of existence,
you might as well go for the
whole hog. I mean, why just
speculate on a piece of the ac-
tion? Get cosmic right away.

So, partly as a public ser-
vice to help get your minds
off the election now
thankfully ebbing behind us,
I promise to give an updater,
as we say in the trade, based
on Lee Pulos’s research and
discoveries, about the state of
the art in cosmic thinking.

Seriously. The goods.
Tune in.

Lonsdale market
wins city backing

NORTH VANCOUVER City council has given
preliminary approval to a $25 million public mar-
ket development at Lonsdale Quay

Approval in principle was
given the project last week.

The public market is seen
as the prime public compo-
nent of the Lonsdale Wuay
development.

It will be located east of
the ICBC Building on the
waterfront at the foot of
Lonsdale and, when com-
pleted, will be slightly larger
than Granville Market in
Vancouver.

The public market will
feature the market on the
ground floor of the project,
with retail outlets on the Se-
cond floor — including a
