This is a book of enigmas.
Deciphering the symbols within this book is akin to peeling back the layers of one's own mysteries.
This space feels eerily familiar, as though it’s a recurring threshold we cross during life's moments of stagnation. It is like being enveloped in a thick, black fog, where the threads of inner thoughts intertwine in a chaotic tangle. In this state, one moves cautiously and tentatively, inching forward. Gradually, the tangled threads draw you closer to touch, deconstruct, and progressively unravel them. The surroundings slowly expand and brighten, and a hazy reflection of yourself begins to emerge, engage, and eventually part ways with you. This figure grows more vivid and multidimensional, reflecting the depth of your self-exploration and the breakthroughs you achieve.
Additional Notes:
1. When Thomas More conceptualized Utopia, he devised a unique and artistic language to represent it. The seemingly enigmatic geometric symbols in this book are intricately crafted from Latin script.
2. The book chronicles the inner turmoil and transformative experiences of each stage. As readers gradually decode the symbols, they will uncover deeply resonant keywords. These words may act as keys, unlocking the doors that confine them in their current impasse.
