In A User's Guide to Spacetime, the human desire to be immortal is a recurrent theme. Thus, in Techwed, as the carrier of life, the astronaut dons an algorithm like a vest, / Assembles the hybrid, and then hears the wheels of Infinity grind. In Siblings of the Sun, he is Born in the unconscious, and, in Pseudosphere, he is in Ge's breath-body based. Significantly, even in Herald, although the Hermetic lapis, the figure [of Christ] veiled in matter, exists in some other place [. . .] / Light years from Earth, the astronaut himself remains immortal because he is indwelt by the Spirit of Christ. For that reason, in Compass, he may Restore the Rebis--the dual being born of the alchemical union of opposites (masculine/feminine) and recognized as a symbol of the self--and may Beyond the compass of the symbol rise. In other words, as these poems demonstrate, Faith-based the astronaut pursues his course (Station). However, they also suggest that, when the treasure is hard to attain, there is always more to be sought than the scripture.
