The previous article in the “Protocol of the Beginning” series concluded with a key realization: Humanity stands at the point of departure from an alien, parasitic strategy in which it has existed for the past 18,000 years. It was shown that modern civilization is NOT A NATURAL continuation of the path of Reason, rather a forced, imposed vector — one torn away from the original course of development. However, to truly understand where we must move next, it is not enough merely to renounce false reference points. A deeper step is required — a return to the Origin of Origins.

The modern man — the last statistical representative of humankind — goes to school, earns a diploma, climbs the professional ladder, yet remains IGNORANT of the most essential truth: why and for what purpose he exists. He has no understanding of the meaning of his life, the origin of his body, or the purpose of his consciousness. He knows nothing of the Mind that gave him his path. He does not know WHERE HE CAME FROM, does not understand WHY HE LIVES, and does not even suspect WHERE HE IS HEADED. Instead, he is entangled in the illusions of political doctrines, ideologies of survival, and technologies of consumption. All this forms a COMPLEX IGNORANCE that we have even learned to disguise as education: we award degrees and call scientists those who have NEVER ANSWERED any of these fundamental questions. Thus arose the great hierarchy of brilliant ignorance, built not upon wisdom rather upon the extraction of momentary gain. We have subordinated everything — school, science, culture, politics — not to the pursuit of truth, rather to a fleeting, profitable DISTORTION OF REALITY that destroys Man from within, leaving him helpless before aging, illness, and death.

Each era dies not when its walls collapse, rather when its illusions cease to function. The old world was sustained not by truth, rather by agreement with falsehood — by belief in the inevitability of death, the naturalness of aging, and the finality of the human path. These beliefs WERE THE BASIS of its entire construct. People lived without doubt that the world existed on its own and that man was merely its observer. Yet this became the LAST ILLUSION of the old world. Today that illusion is crumbling. Consciousness begins to see that reality is not given from the outside — it is created by the very act of perception. Everything we consider “objective” is, IN FACT, a reflection of the level of our understanding. Therefore, everything built upon old knowledge is losing its power. The world that served the machine of death has exhausted its energy. A restructuring begins — NOT EXTERNAL, rather internal, within the very fabric of thought.

What is reality — this is not an idle question of metaphysicians, rather the foundation of our being. Everything that we feel, value, love, fear, strive for, and reject is based on one single premise: we consider IT REAL. However, what if this foundation is illusory? What if the difference between reality and illusion is merely a perceptual adjustment, a filter through which a signal is transmitted? Modern man not only lives inside images, HE BECOMES them. The world that yesterday seemed material is already virtualized today, and tomorrow it will no longer be distinguishable from the imaginary. The boundaries are blurring — between the organic and the algorithmic, between sensation and code, between body and data. In this vanishing landscape, only one question remains: WHAT REMAINS when everything disappears? Before you is ANOTHER STEP in dismantling the old construct of perception.

We live in the time when Knowledge has become accessible, but it has not become any closer. It is open—in books, in online archives, in the tired eyes of those who have searched for it their entire lives. And yet, the closer it is, the further away from it are the vast majority of people. This strange game of hide- and-seek with the obvious is NOT THE RESULT of some evil or conspiracy. It is the reflection of the System itself—the one that changes the form, but NOT THE SUBSTANCE. Nowadays, it gives us everything, but only as much as we can accept. IT WILL NOT GIVE US MORE — and THERE IS NO POINT to give less.

We live inside a construct we mistakenly call “reality,” not noticing its artificiality only because we DO NOT GO beyond our own perception scheme. What seems obvious to us is ONLY DECORATION, stabilized under the limitations of our consciousness, brain, senses, cultural habits and cognitive filters. A person lives inside their own world, NOT KNOWING how it is arranged.

There are things that cannot be expressed in words, but you can direct your attention to them. There is knowledge that cannot be "conveyed in words"—it can only be recognized if the inner "code" within you matches the depth from which it came. It is precisely about this kind of knowledge that I have tried to write.

We live in the time in which understanding—lost, forgotten, devalued— once again is becoming the MAIN INSTRUMENT of survival. But to understand the present, it is necessary to destroy the old patterns of perception, rebuild internal channels, thus revealing within ourselves the one who is truly capable of seeing, hearing, and distinguishing. Here there WILL BE NO familiar logic, no comforting formulas, and no ready-made answers. This article is like a mirror, but the mirror directed NOT OUTWARDS, but inward.
