Once you begin to understand that you are not perfect, that you are not God and know that, you have to place your trust somewhere else. The Universe is a miraculous place. Those miracles must have originated somewhere, it would only seem logical.

That the Universe has an edge, or a limit, and once you are able to escape you will end up somewhere else, but the absolute truth is that wherever you go is where you will be. 

You may be able to travel through it, we don't know --but just as after death your spirit does travel somewhere--- more exactly to some other place and time--- and although we don't know where physically it may be - it is overwhelmingly unlikely that things will end up in the same exact permutation as they will in this life - especially if you are reading this.

I think it's best to accept that in your life here on Earth, for now, it's overwhelmingly likely that you will end up exactly where you started. 

Humanity will only be able to send its best and brightest to the stars. We are not quite ready to travel the cosmos, but some day we will be.

The point is, that even if it's not today, but sometime soon, you will still be you, and the universe will still be the universe. 

How you choose to qualify that is up to you, but in order to reach your fullest potential it is absolutely necessary to transcend. 

**Mania --A Part of Apart from Me** is a living testament to that fact. 

Six months followed the completion of the previous chapter, and I believed then that it would finish there, but that isn't the full story I would like to portray. 

In the middle of publication --now-- I had to put a full stop on the process and run the risk of missing peak selling season during the holidays, when releases are most viable to launch into the public eye.

Instead I put a fork in the road and decided to take the risk. I finally understood what it was that had been driving me insane.

I knew it, and understood it, but the Universe it seems also demanded that I transcend my own troubles. I had the idea, I had the wherewithal, and then finally, it gave me the tool for formalization.
