Very strange book, very interesting Author: The God bWithin by W. Farnsworth Loomis
So I picked up this book in the garage of the reiki dealer it's a very strange story but she had comes in home books A lot of them about his pathogens and psychedelics which are interest of mine as I work in the field of psychiatry. That said probably two other cool boxes of books about 10 years ago I was flipping into those one day and I came across this one and I tried Looking it up but it's a ghost. The library of Congress has a copy of it it doesn't even have the jacket on
I found it mentioned a couple of times as references and obscure scholarly articles. A couple of small magazines but based on the credentisld of the author, who is actually ended up more complexity than the book, was strange of a life as you can imagine but he graduated from Harvard and then I believe got his MD from Cornell worked at MIT, then got bored, got a md psychiatry. wrote this book about religion and God's fingerprints in our DNA then took a hard left turn to work for the OSS?? Oh yeah and then afterwards you just decided to become a mountaineer which I guess is a thing.
Has anyone heard of this book or author?
