After thirty-one years at the University of Delaware, Dr. Krum retired as professor business administration emeritus in 1997. Five years after retiring, he and his wife of forty-three years divorced. James assumes equal responsibility for the demise of the marriage which had run its course. Two years after the divorce, James experienced a life changing event when he was guided by a shaman to find his totem animal (a squirrel) and learned to practice proprioceptive writing. These experiences opened the door into his subconscious and planted the seeds of this book. James allowed his well-honed rational academic mind to give way to the intuition of the mystical mind.
