I return to The Darkness. I walk through the Sludge like it’s nothing. I approach the girl in the Dark.

She had called me back.  

“You want out?” I say. 

“I want the Truth. I don’t care if it hurts me. I want the Truth.” 

I give a nod. Let’s get this done. 

You are a ship lost at sea. You have lost Orientation, The Self… Comprehension itself. 

All of Comprehension is only ever Orientation to The Self, which is only defined and known when Aligned with Truth, and that –” 

I point to the Lighthouse in the Distance where a Light pierces the Dark. 

“–That is the Truth. Logic is your Compass. Here.”

I hand the girl a book. Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaardner.

“Start there. The more you learn Logic, Formal Argument and Debate, the 12 Ethics, and Socratic Method, the more you can follow the Stepping Stones out of this Swamp, The Darkness, and The Delusion… The more you will know what is Truth and what is Delusion. And that Beacon… That is your Heading.”

Triadic Healing Part #1 trains you how to use your Subconscious Mind to calibrate your Orientation to The Truth. It trains you how to clean out your RAS. It trains you how to Navigate the Darkness.” 

I stand and leave her there with the book. 

“But… Aren’t you going to help me!?” she calls. 

“Help you?” I call back. No. That *is* the 1st Trial. YOU have to do it ALONE. Empower you? Hell, yes. I just gave you the Instructions for how to turn on and use your Mind. And that is the most powerful asset in your possession of all. 

You just gotta… reformat it, recalibrate it, and turn the damn thing on.”

And with that, I head back to the Lighthouse and my Beacon.
