This book describes the experiences of Owen, a psychically gifted young man who from early childhood was out of his body as often as he was in it. In elementary school, at recess, he performed mind-reading and other demonstrations for his classmates. The children loved them, but the teachers, and principal were aghast, especially when he performed a fake levitation.
After he earned his Ph.D., as an assistant professor, he served as the subject for masters level research in telepathy. In Key West, he used his psychic powers to locate a kidnapped child. At his next assistant professorship, he used his psychic powers too frequently, delighting the students but incurring the wrath of the administration.
Summoned to the dean's office, and informed that his contract would not be renewed for the next year, Owen projected himself like a helium balloon out the dean's open window, and into the afterlife, leaving his dead physical body slumped in a chair.
