I don’t know about you, but I’ve had many conversations over the past two years go something like this:

“Do you know Crispin Glover, the actor? […] You know, George McFly from Back to the Future? […] Yeah, idiosyncratic. […] So, did you know he published his own series of books? He started with some Victorian books he found in thrift stores and turned them into surrealist-type projects. […] Yeah. Yeah. They’re an experience. […] Anyway, I’ve been reading about consciousness and how some folks think it’s a place where you might be able to access memories from past lives. Sort of like affinities or something? I don’t know how it works exactly, but like if you take some of the things you’re attracted to, then maybe that attraction is from a previous life, like a hold-over, and if you can just explore it, then it might reveal something about your earlier lives. […] Right. So, I’ve been wondering why I’ve always been fascinated by the roles he’s played, so I thought I would buy some Victorian books and old photographs as a way to see what lives I lived with Crispin Glover.”

Maybe we have different conversations. In any case, here’s what I found.
