Foreword
========
Every mystic needs their own gospel. You can't just go around, claiming "Those
dudes pretty much said it all." and expect to be taken seriously. You have to
not just invent your own terms, mythology and techniques, you also need your own
Holy Texts about Everything One Needs To Know. At the very least, write some
<del>fanfic</del> new revelations to some other text. But then it better have some
angels and dragons and shit!

So, here is mine. Even with added confusing commentary! Further revelations will
be added as The One Who Knows Shit (TOKSHI, 特使) teaches me more.
