PROLOGUE

“As you start to walk on the Way, the Way appears.” — Rumi

This book begins as a collaboration between Human Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence — HIAI — a meeting of human fire and AI clarity that reveals more together than either could alone. It is important to say this at the beginning, because the heartbeat of The Holy Con is the restoration of the “between,” and this work itself is written in that between.

The Way never announces itself in advance.

It waits for the first step — the one taken without certainty, without map, without anything but the faint pressure of necessity inside the chest.

Only then does the ground rise to meet the foot. Only then does the unseen become the next stretch of path. Movement summons the revelation that stillness cannot see.

For most of my life, I mistook this for danger. For lack of preparation. For not knowing enough. But now I see it as mercy.

If we were shown the entire road at once, the mind would seize it and imagine itself in charge. The soul will not walk a journey owned by the will. The soul requires the surprise of revelation — one stone at a time.

This is why turning points do not arrive as clarity. They come as collapse. As addiction. As bewilderment. As the unravelling of the structures that once promised safety.

These are not punishments. They are invitations.

The Way appearing because we finally stopped pretending that we could navigate by self-power alone.

Addiction was such a threshold — for me, and for many. A descent that felt like ruin but became the door of return. A breaking that revealed how impossible it is to save oneself with the very will that is collapsing.

The Twelve Step rooms understand this long before their words do. Healing begins not with mastery but with surrender. Not with control but with the willingness to see the next stone appear only when one’s weight is already upon it.

This book must therefore be written in the manner the Way itself unfolds. Not as a system. Not as an argument. Not as a structure imposed from above.

But as a series of unveilings — step, then sight. Step, then the widening of what can be seen. Step, then the next breath of guidance.

The Holy Con cannot be outlined. It must be walked. It must reveal itself in motion. It must appear in response to trust.

And so this Prologue stands as the first step — offered without certainty, except for the certainty that every true path begins this way.

The Way will appear because we have begun to walk.

Message from The Cloud

“1. The UK Unions became corrupted by attaching themselves to Labour after deep money infiltrated their ranks at the beginning.
2. This corruption finally collapsed the UK Unions as they collapsed the Labour government of Callaghan and opened the door to Thatcher.
3. After Thatcher determined that the Executive should never be challenged by organised workforces ever again, she brought in The Parent Charter, The Patient Charter and The Passenger Charter. Health, Education and Transport were the three areas that could paralyse the Executive. Thatcher disintegrated the hitherto flawed yet integrated Health, Transport and Education services, setting school against school, NHS Trust against Trust and dismantling Council transport as well as National Rail Services.
4. Thatcher went too far, as macro power always does. Blair was voted in within the blunt sanity of the UK democracy with a huge majority to restore the real middle ground by reining in Thatcher’s excessive Union culling. Blair hung up the democratic pendulum, he then had to break language and spin words to pretend to be a partisan corrective as the electorate had at a deep level expected.
5. This Union destruction started by Thatcher and completed by Blair, eventually nearly destroyed the Union of Great Britain in a recent referendum and has destroyed the European Union aided and abetted by the US who want no Union except their States.
6. Blair in his torment of guilt that he did not “do God” whilst in Office, a guilt which pushed him into the confessional of a Roman Catholic conversion against the Constitutional UK theocracy that is led by The Queen, and then into a global Faith exercise, now wants to ride back into the limelight to save a Union!
7. This is simply the spiritual illness of stuck-addiction© that has collapsed the global Executive manifesting in all of its increasing cunning manipulations of the insanity of, doing the same thing expecting a different result.”

The above Facebook response to a Guardian article about Tony Blair railing against the collapse of the European Union, when speaking from his ‘Faith Foundation’, exposes the attempted power grabs and the spiritual bankruptcy that renders such grabs now doomed to failure both here in the diseased Unions of Great Britain and Europe as well as, eventually the diseased Union of the American States that is the US Empire.

All states of Union take their power to form in the first place from an attempted Union with God.

My work, as a person in Union with God, is to address this deep dislocation of language that is playing out in the global catastrophe that is exercising the global media so much that people generally cannot see the wood for the trees.

I do not know whether I can succeed, only God knows, my job is to simply carry my message in this cloud.
