In the interest of full disclosure, this to say honesty, this book is perhaps best categorized in the Western Religious tradition as a Morality Play written from the perspective of a human being aborted as a fetus in the year 2019. The work was largely completed in 2019-2021 and was published in 2022. The author has a varied background in "multi-exceptionality" (using today's educational references). The author would like to thank the United States Government for their assistance. The work is dedicated to Jesus. This is the Acirema edition in darkness, alluding to the wrong direction (America spelled backwards). The book is definitely not a call to violence. The name of the edition explicitly refers to having read to the final three pages of the book where the reference becomes clear. The author has explained the book to others as “a warning” and its purpose is reflection as a reader will “read their own psychology” and experience into the book. The author has repeatedly and emphatically stated in their own words that, “It is better to help people than to hurt them.” The overall purpose of the book from the author’s understanding is a call for a return to God and a reflection on the consequences of having turned away from God and towards increasing individualism. There is only a request toward return, reintegration, reformation if necessary among some lines, and hope of redemption and reunification with God in accordance with established religious traditions. “Easier said than done,” people have told me. "Thus With Violence" is from the Revelation of Saint John the Divine. "Fire, Sword, and War" is from Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas, which some scholars consider to be the Q or a source of the four traditional gospels, and the quote has parallels among the traditional gospels. The Gospel in Napalm was written several years ago, now, but was published in July of 2022 because there was only a brief window available for publication with regard to matters concerning the author. Several aspects of the book can be confusing, so I will try to clarify. The invocation was written over a decade ago and reflects the necessary idealism and passion, the zeal of purpose and meaning, in youth. With regard to the book presenting a religious and mystical experience: The book itself is largely religious in content and context, and mystical in plot. Mysticism is firmly established as part of our Abrahamic heritage and traditions and is currently practiced, as it has been historically, among each of the three lines of Abraham. This fact that our Judeo-Christian mysticism is a part of the Western tradition is probably not taught on TikTok. (Also, to be clear, the author is not advocating for mystical practices to be attempted or normalized by all as that would be extremely unwise and unsafe. Practicality in judgment and application is recommended.) The protagonist is Itsot, who, during a mystical journey, experiences a separation from their soul. The character is taken to be a re-embodiment of a person who experienced the end of a previous world which God destroyed. As is well-established in our religious traditions, the soul is eternal, and some among the Judeo-Christian lines teach, and have taught for centuries and much, much longer, that a soul may go into a person with the need to, for lack of a better word, "atone" for a wrong or prior mistake or to perform a task. Again, this, also, is probably not taught on TikTok. Also, it is well-established in our religious traditions that God has previously destroyed worlds. The book is intended to encourage reflection on one's self, others, society, religion, and God's plan for humanity. As for the meaning of the price, the book tells the story of the release of Satan into the world, so, it's fitting.
