Explore the Scriptures, do not just skate on the surface! The Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Truth is taken by force! We will talk about the Truth in this and subsequent books—and this process requires thinking, reasoning, effort, and labor to the point of bloody sweat… Therefore, if you dream of attaining the truth without effort, courage, responsibility, struggle (because we will talk about the Truth, which for the fleshly mind [to some extent in each of us—sinners, for whom the Savior was crucified…] is a temptation and folly according to the religious or atheistic makeup)—I recommend that you do not read further, lest something worse happens. Unless you want to familiarize yourself with the names and some creations of Orthodox theologians in the last chapter!
This booklet is exclusively for the mind, for thinking, understanding, hence the text is constructed so that you, if you want to understand the author (editor), reread sentences, paragraphs, even chapters, and ideally the entire booklet several times… Therefore, in the text there are so many brackets with explanations, clarifications (these are “sleeping policemen,” which do not allow speeding up, but force you to slow down, think, reflect—at least, such is the intention of the editor, but did he succeed?..)
If you have still decided to continue reading, then first listen to how this booklet came into the world…
