is in the system itself.

What is truly terrifying

is not what is happening,

but where things come from

and where they go.

Generational succession

has become invisible and sudden.

One generation succeeds another

at a lightening speed -

in a week,

even in an hour.

If you don't keep up

with your generation,

you fall and execute yourself.

Execute yourself.

And there is no need

for you to be arrested.

If at the moment

of a generational succession,

you were asleep, you jump up

in the middle of the night,

look at the door

and jump out of the window.

That's why, my little son,

if you are left to live,

and you hear about someone

that has committed suicide,

you should know,

he didn't kill himself.

Don't believe that those who

commit suicide don't want to live.

They do want to live.

The thing is, they're not aware

they're committing suicide.

One can only be aware

of committing a murder.

I'm saying this to you now,

while I'm still quite young

and before I get old,

so that we can understand

each other.

I beg you, do not try

to improve this system.

It would be better if you could

learn to pass through it.

But it's also important for

the system to pass through itself...

...in order to enter the future.

That's why the system

destroyed half of its population,

and entered itself

to create a passage way.

And by now, the system

has learnt to pass through people

without taking their lives.

My little son, I don't want

to test your patience.

I forgive you

for everything in advance,

for everything you'll do

if you stay alive.

And you, forgive me too,

forgive me for your mother,

and for our incest.

I want to see so badly

how you first look at me.

My little son,

as you can see...

...I can't find my place in life.

It's possible

it has never existed here.

I believe in our connection.

And the best confirmation

that we are father and son

is that we can't see each other.

Take a step backwards...

...and the system

will start threatening you.

Take another step backwards...

...and the system

may offer you a place.

You should take

another step backwards...

...and the system will offer you

religions to choose from.

You should take

another step backwards.

It's these steps backwards

that lead one to Golgotha.

It seems that the time allocated

to people has passed,

and time has acquired

its own form.

It's likely that the system

knows the days

of your birth and death.

The sky remained the last

hidden truth about the Earth.

Now the sky is disappearing,

and leaving the stars

to be included in the system.

Now the system

has also got hold of the stars.

The stars

are also working for it.

The sky and the earth are dying

in order to leave the system.

We are now almost living

on a different planet.

My little one,

your heart has its own body.

It's so transparent

that it is invisible.

Its poverty is profound.

This is the eye of Jesus Christ.

That's why it's impossible

to deceive it.

It even sees your parents

as destitute...

...so that you can also

see them as destitute,

as well as yourself as destitute,

and your girlfriend.

Chapter VIII

THE BORDERS:

OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL

Once a man lived on Earth.

His name was Abraham.

He was no longer young when he

heard a voice say, "Get up and go."

So this man left everything

behind and went.

The route he took became

the border of the state of Israel.

There is no such state

as Israel,

yet the border of this state

cuts through everything on Earth.

That beggar said that

the border of the state of Israel

lies across his face.

The system covers

an ever increasing area.

It's always possible

to recall a person from any place.

One day, in a canteen,

in front of a bowl of soup,

you'll suddenly realise

how tired and how ill you are.

Nobody will seem

to be doing any harm to you.

Yet the state of things

will lead you

to an almost unbearable condition.

It will be enough for you

not to find a place

to wash your underwear or a shirt.

In a week

you'll turn into a pauper.

What will happen then?

A very peculiar thing will happen:

Outsiders will seek protection

with the authorities.

What's really terrible

is that the authorities will protect

and take care of them

and will give them jobs.

This mute old man believes

that the state of Israel

lies within the borders

of his house.

He's reinforced the border

of the state of Israel with a fence,

and one day every year

he measures its length with a stick.

He finds new planks

and reinforces the border,

so that the pile of rubbish

doesn't overwhelm it.

There, inside the fence, is a pile,

a pile of rubbish.

This pile of rubbish

is his house.

It's one huge dust-heap.

At times this dust-heap

doesn't let him in.

It presses on the door...

...and makes it hard for the old man

to enter his house.

The doors don't open due to

the rubbish he has collected.

Sometimes passers-by help him

and push him inside,

to the dust-heap.

He can only make money

by selling paper to the state...

...but the heap keeps growing.

Several times, people tried

to wean the old man off his heap...

...and burnt it,

but it would grow again and again.

Imagine this:

There are a certain number

of young people within the system.

To find out how they differ

from each other

they should be dissected.

Then their full potential

will become known.

Constant pressure will force

your psyche to move ahead of you.

It will adopt

the mode of behaviour

to accommodate that pressure,

and not to accommodate you.

If you can't catch up

with your own psychic development,

you'll find yourself impotent

in this system.

That's why, just as

you would take a medicine,

take on the image of a pauper.

Remember,

the image of a pauper

is always ahead of the system.

Adopt it.

Otherwise, people are

going to be brought out

out of their usual state of being,

to become different people.

Any human potential will be used,

first of all, as a means.

Any human potential

will be turned into a means.

And those gifted

will unwillingly persecute

and kill those who are talentless

with their life energy.

If you're unable to carry out

focused psychological work,

then you'll find yourself

among the socially ill.

This is the basic secret

of the system.

Imagine such

a blood-chilling allegory.

Only strong people

will retain the ability to work.

They'll become teachers, priests,

scientists, students.

God save you

from becoming one of these!

It's like buying the clothes

of a murder victim

from a second-hand shop

and wearing them.

But you won't be able

to move far in such clothes.

Children will be the first

to get used

to these inhuman conditions,

and I'm afraid for you,

my little one.

I haven't got much time left...

...and I don't know how to help you,

and what advice to give.

I really don't know.

I can't offer

a place of salvation to you.

You'll leave...

...and the one who deserves
