Last step: All knowing how it works does is free you to start knowing what it is. When you no longer have to think about why things happen, and know everything is perfect all the time, you can really start just living it completely. Knowing how it works is the first step, and almost no human beings have taken that step. That is what this book is for and why we need to tell people to read it. We need people to take the first step. The next step is living the life, and that is the last step, because it never ends. You will know the unknowable as the Bible says, but it still is the unknowable. There is no contradiction there, even though people that have not taken the first step will think it is. It actually could not be more clear.

Your life will go by fast, no matter how long you live. You will be at death’s door before you know it. The truth is, the world could end for you in the next few minutes. It is not something that just happens to someone else. It will not happen in your future; it will happen in your present, just like everything else.

The living dead: This is one major reason people avoid the present. They know death is only in the present. They think if they avoid the present, real life, they can avoid death. The problem is life is also only in the present also, so if you avoid the present, you avoid true life, thus you are a living dead person. Death happens anyway, so what is the point of missing true life?
