Is a piece of the original Dr. Dee, developer of Enochian Magick and the astrologer and spy for Queen Elizabeth I. He especially hated being a spy. He is not the complete original Dr. Dee, but a fragment of Dr. Dee who mainly knows about necromancy (which includes much more than just magick involving the dead). He's crusty and finds the dead better company than the living. Otherwise he's a bit like Brian Lumley's hero in The Necroscope. He finds the cosmology in the Titus Crow trilogy chillingly accurate and considers H.P.Lovecraft a seer of the first magnitude, in what can happen when people begin to believe they can hide from God/dess.
Dr. Dee is interested in how atoms learn by being part of living systems. How atoms are recycled throughout all living systems over and over again. Therefore, Anthony & Cleopatra's atoms end up in lots of people. We hear many women claiming to be the reincarnation of Cleopartra. In reality this is true, how many atoms did Cleopatra have throughout her life time? In this sense, seen through Dr. Dee's eyes, the world is somewhat fluid and shifting. His view is a world made of constantly renewing, destroying and persevering intelligent particles in constant change.
Dr. Dee says further that this has nothing to do with the "tyrant" DNA. Dr. Dee feels that although we've unlocked the secret of the genes and chromosomes, and are mapping the DNA, this is far short of having unlocked the keys to creation. He goes as far as to think this is playing into the hands of a completely self-serving and ruthless life form (DNA) which he likens to Lovecraft's story "The Color Out of Space".
The secret of creation resides in the electron the "atoma", the part of the atom that learns.
Dr. Dee's wandering spirit reanimated portions of my brain which had grown cold and weren't receiving enough oxygen during a traffic accident that befell me. He still uses those parts of my fleshy brain to manifest, in a sense one could say, Dr. Dee and I have a symbiotic relationship. According to him, I never used that much of my brain anyway. According to Harold, Dr. Dee needs his rent raised.
The fragment of Dr. Dee that resides with me considers Enochian magick a bust. He feels there are other things he would just as soon spend his time with. This is not me, Harold Gillespie, speaking, but Dr. Dee is tired of ritual. Bear in mind, that Enochian magick was only one experiment in Dr. Dee's renaissance-man life. Although I feel that Enochian magick is one of the high-art magicks available today, Dr. Dee feels it is horribly dated, after all, he didn't intend it for publication.
