The arrogant boy who was my teenage rival is now a chiseled doctor armed with intimidating good looks.

Since neither of us is looking to get fired or thrown in prison, we war with our words and our wits. We prefer banter that bites.

For long I have been spending much of my time in a world of great beauty of thought and purity of feeling, created by the devotion and intelligence of one of the many theosophical fraternities of the ancient world. They called themselves disciples of Thrice-greatest Hermes, and sometimes spoke of their faith as the Religion of the Mind. They were prior to and contemporary with the origins and earliest centuries of Christianity, and they lived in Egypt.
