"Actors playing parts are obviously ALIVE, as actors, but in a fictional
play, for example, the characters portrayed by the actors are not alive,
in your terms, in the same fashion that the actors are. In the psyche,
however, and in its greater reality, the characters have their own lives
– quite as real as those of the actors."
-- Seth, via Jane Roberts, 1974
"If you will practice being fictional for a while, you will understand
that fictional characters are sometimes more real than people with
bodies and heartbeats."
-- Illusions, by Richard Bach, 1977
