Déjà Vu Revisited

The book parts from the rehashed approach of a defect to revisit the popular concept, which is the ultimate checkmate to the rational. Rather than the insignificant incidence we usually make of it, something much larger is at work. The intrigue has more to do with normality than the anomaly flavor it is labeled. We are no more strangers than innocent to the phenomenon and closer than we think to its making, as we rightly feel once we are its guests. It does not knock on our door any more than we knock on its door. Everything is in its nucleus to go beyond its shell, should we be willing to go beyond ours. The confusion ties to our propensity to illusions. We mistake the reading of a defect for the defect of the reading. There is no answer because it is an answer, one to which we mislaid the question. So the experience aborts while we insist it fades. We look at déjà vu the way we look at a sunset, aware that the sun does not move.
