"There is an appalling lack of literature for thetans*. (Defition: Word taken from Greek letter theta, traditional symbol for thought or spirit. The thetan is the individual himself -- not the body, mind or anything else; that which is aware of being aware; the identity that IS the individual).

Homo sap(iens) has had built for him by generations and generations of artists, musicians, sculptors, (not so much the musicians) and particularly the writers and dramatists, the cultural background of how wonderful it is to be a homo sapiens and how cruel the gods are. It's been going on for thousands of years.

The closest piece of work to a thetan is “ Alice and Wonderland”. The author was writing straight out of a child's and some few adults, self-knowledge of what their real capabilities are. You're walking into a dearth of culture for the thetan. The culture is designed for Homo sapiens." -- L. Ron Hubbard, from The Philadelphia Doctorate Course Lectures ( lecture #50, 1952).

Renowned Victorian author Lewis Carroll was born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson on January 27, 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire, England. Carroll was the third child born to a family of eleven children. From a very early age he entertained himself and his family by performing magic tricks and marionette shows, and by writing poetry for his homemade newspapers.

Carroll published his novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865, followed by Through the Looking Glass in 1872. Alice's story began as a piece of extemporaneous whimsy meant to entertain three little girls on a boating trip in 1862. Both of these works were considered children's novels that were satirical in nature and in exemplification of Carroll's wit. Also famous is Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky," in which he created nonsensical words from word combinations.

In his marvelous imagination Lewis Carroll transcended the literature of homo sapiens – books about bodies, physical universe games and goals.  Through Alice, the author takes us on a trip into a different “universe” – a spiritual universe of imagination, where no boundaries exist – only one’s own choices and desires.  We can learn from Alice: there is no place like a universe of your own creation – your own, personal, spiritual universe. 

• What if you were a private detective in Anytown, USA? 
• What if you were minding your own business, quietly eating doughnuts and investigating the case of the misplaced wife of a retired US Navy Admiral? 
• What if you went to see an acupuncturist to follow up on a clue?  What if you fell asleep on the treatment table while interrogating the doctor … Dr. Alice Nettles? 
• What if you woke up in A Different Universe and didn’t know how you got there or how to get back? 
• What if you found yourself sitting in the middle of a convention – a PLANT convention!? 
• What if the plants were plotting to do away with all of the “oxygen breathers” in the universe…including you?
• What would you do if found out that all the plants in the universe were going to start holding their breath all at the same time to get rid of us--just like they did to the dinosaurs 65,000,000 years ago?

These are just a few of the questions faced by the fictional character, Sam Shovel, the new comedy, The Big Bleep: The Mystery of A Different Universe, by Lawrence R. Spencer.
