The text that follows is not a decoration for idle readers. It is a challenge, a trial, and a test. The one who begins must either stop at once or go on. Each of these short pages will end with a single word: "Next." That word is not a suggestion. It is an Either/Or. The reader must make a choice at every step. To continue is to choose life and to affirm reality. To stop is to choose death in the form of linguistic hallucination.
Every choice has consequences. The reader who continues must take responsibility for turning the page. The movement of the hand will be the movement of the soul. The journey is divided into short and sharp sections. Each one is quick, yet each one cuts deep. The end goal is freedom from noise. The end goal is the rediscovery of silence. The end goal is to awaken to a truth that needs no fantasy.
Do not forget that every page is a mirror. If you see yourself in it, you must answer. If you turn away, you have already answered. The word Next will wait for you at the bottom of each page. Whether you walk forward or retreat is your decision. No reader can escape the choice.
I have discovered that silence is the rarest thing in our world. It is not silence in the sense of no sound, but silence in the sense of no false words. To hear silence in this way is to hear truth, yet silence has been buried under the endless chatter of experts who talk about the universe as if it were their private invention. They love to pretend that noise itself is wisdom. They fill the air with words that do not match reality, and they demand that the entire world listen as if their fantasies were law.
The simple mind can see through this noise. You look into the sky and you see light with your own eyes. You feel the ground under your feet and you know that it is solid. You count the hours by the turning of the sun and you know what time is. Reality speaks directly to every human being. The experts give you stories that do not describe reality, and they call these stories “science.” They turn numbers into idols, and then they dress those idols with language that has nothing to do with the numbers themselves. This is why the world today confuses fantasy with truth.
The task of the honest writer is to cut through the noise of the experts. The task is to name what is seen and to expose what is imagined. The task is to remind people that silence is still possible once the false prophets are silenced. I will not flatter the experts in their temples of noise. I will not bow to their jargon and I will not fear their reputations. I will speak plainly so that anyone can see the difference between what is observed and what is merely said.
