This book was not written to inspire you, motivate you, or entertain you.

It was written to disarm you.

Every sentence exists for one reason:

To stop you from running.

For years, the world taught you to transform by becoming "more" -

more evolved, more spiritual, more valuable, more extraordinary.

But truth is subtraction, not addition.

The way back is not upwards -

it is inward.

You will not find answers here;

you will meet your absence.

If you can tolerate that meeting,

you are ready for return.

Not to a new self -

to the one you lost defending the old.

Welcome home.
