I haven't finished the book yet. Almost. But Howard called her on "Z" thing in their first interview. He actually called her on ALL of the stuff she has in the book. And Jaque, is who Violet Eyes and Shape of You is about. I always thought she and Jewel had a "thing." I'm kind of surprised, so far, by how she is treating the subject of romance and her relationships. Like, the Swedish guy she was with...he just disappears and then gives her the money to buy the van. In CDTD she goes into details about living in Colorado with him and leaving him. I was waiting for the unrequited love part...maybe she circles back around. Also, she mentions that she saw first saw Ty in 1999, but I recall it originally reported in 1998. So, for me, some things do not add up. Still, I like the book and don't care about her romances enough to be bothered by the inconsistencies.
Thus Spoke Zarathustra - is a book by Neitsche. It's big in the metaphysical community. I've read it. He's like another Bobaji. So, in a way - it can be shocking to people that aren't "new agey", philosophers or mythologists, to hear about channeling him. Many people reference him and claim to chanel him. It's not surprising and I don't discount any aspect of spirituality (especially based on my beliefs).
Again, the playing down of the influence people like Poltz, or Jaque had on her is what surprised me. I haven't been rocked by anything I didn't see coming...but I have 2 discs left to go.
