Our *cosmic egg* is the sum total of our notions of what the world is, notions which define what reality can be for us. The crack, then, is a mode of thinking through which imagination can escape the mundane shell and create a new cosmic egg. The crack is that *twilight between the worlds* found by the young anthropologist, Carlos Castaneda, in his study of the Yaqui Indian sorcerer, don Juan, and his *Way of Knowledge*. The crack is found as well in that *narrow gate* of Jesus' Way of Truth. The crack is an open end, going beyond the broad, statistical way of the world.
