I debated with myself about including a 'science fictional' accompaniment to this album in the same vein as "The Parables", "The Prophecies" and "The Chronicles" and decided I would leave it in but first here are some quotes from other fictional writers....

"‘O, you possessed of sturdy intellect … observe the teachings hidden here … beneath the veil of verses so obscure.’"
Dante Alighieri

"a stranger in a strange land … an alien trapped on a lonely world. She tried to make friends, but her peers immersed themselves in frivolities that held no interest to her. She tried to respect her elders, but most adults seemed like nothing more than aging children, lacking even the most basic understanding of the world around them, and, most troubling, lacking any curiosity or concern about it."

"had the HIV virus gone airborne, it could have been an extinction event." (both from "Inferno” by Dan Brown)

and now to The Antonym Paradox

"The unfortunate and unavoidable problem for the human race is that they can’t escape the dimension of time. There we Antonyms have the advantage as we exist free of time and can see or visit what you call the past and the future as easily as your present. Paradoxically, although we can see and visit you, we cannot be seen and cannot communicate with you …… other than perhaps in your dreams.

Ever since a traveller from your world had discovered the existence of Eryal Dúr , we have appointed an observer to monitor your human race for signs of any “Awakening” to the possibilities of other dimensions, other realms.

Unfortunately there is limited evidence that you are anywhere close to achieving that. But we have not given up hope as there are examples in your Holy Bible*, social media**, that which you call science fiction, and some of your music*** that some of the human race may fully awaken before their short first life comes to an end.

We know, because we can see it, what awaits you in the second phase of your existence, referred to as 'eternal life' in your Holy Bible, but most of you are still ignorant or dismissive of its very existence.


* the Bible - Paul's letter to the Ephesians Ch6 v 12
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.
(The phrase world-rulers of this darkness does not refer to human rulers but the evil spirits that rule over the world.)

"The wonderful thing about praying is that you leave a world of not being able to do something and enter God’s realm where everything is possible.”

“The Chronicles of Eryal Dúr”
Having visited Eryal Dúr in a dream, a traveller from your earthly kingdom is convinced that it exists in another dimension or parallel universe and could in theory be reached from the time-bound universe in which he, and all other human beings, exist. The problem is how to get there, other than perhaps to travel through space to one of the points where the galaxy you inhabit defies your supposed ‘laws of physics’ and find a portal into another universe, the Antonym universe perhaps. Such a portal might exist at the centre of a supermassive black hole and the one that exists in your galaxy is Sagittarius A* at the centre of the Milky Way.
