[A review of Neal Kruse’s “A LETTER TO MY FRIENDS” by Byron Lebeau]
SOURCE: THE UNIVERSAL SEDUCTION, Volume II, published by THE ROSE GARDEN, LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, 2002.
I found another rare being who is able to perceive TOTAL REALITY ~ the FALSE REALITY that we face constantly, and the much higher true spiritual reality that has been veiled by people posing to be either religious or pious men – but, in reality, are working for the dark forces. The name of this true man is Neal Owen Kruse. I do not know him. I would like to!
When someone like this comes along, giving us a glimpse of both sides of the coin, (the side we see, and the side we do not always see too clearly,) we should listen carefully to what he says…in this case, weigh his words in viewing them. As you will see in this critique, Neal Owen Kruse can perceive the forest amongst the many very shady trees, with shady characters lurking behind their myriad branches.
SOME THEMATIC QUOTES FORM KRUSE’S “A LETTER TO MY FRIENDS”
1) “Unhappy cows don’t produce as much milk as happy cows.” (p.52)
2) “Evil always functions behind a screen of good.” (p.71)
3) “To understand evil is to understand seduction and deception. In fact, they are the actual definitions of evil (which is the word ‘live’ backwards). Deception employed for the purpose of capturing the whole human entity; body, mind & will, is nothing less than a process of seduction.”
These three quotes are the tip of the iceberg of “THE UNIVERSAL SEDUCTION” which Mr. Kruse introduces so well in Volume Two of this series by the same title.
THE BIG LIE
”...beliefs & assumptions do not exist in a vacuum. They must be part of a coordinated whole. If you are going to tell a population they have to use gas in their cars, then you can’t tell them about aliens because that would lead to the admission that there are other forms of travel, such as anti-gravity. If you want a population to continue paying for pharmaceuticals & chemotherapy, then you can’t let them find out about people who are able to cure AIDS & CANCER.” (p.55) The author uses the metaphor of the ‘GLOBAL TRUMAN SHOW’ (based on the movie, THE TRUMAN SHOW) which will be discussed in detail later in this essay. Similar to another movie the author quotes from (THE MATRIX), it illustrates how THE BIG LIE is necessary for the seduction of evil to work ~ since to work, it calls for “HAPPY COWS” so it (evil) can extract or harvest as much milk as possible.
THE INTERTWINING THEMES OF “A LETTER…”
They are myriad ~ but all interconnected, just like FALSE REALITY is interwoven into the fabric of TRUE REALITY, making up TOTAL REALITY, themes I touch upon in my own writings. Kruse mentions “aliens” because, in his world view, they are the top key part of the organization for the universal seduction. The author feels strongly that very specific types of aliens (Orion big-nosed Grays, for instance,) are responsible for “NEW WORLD ORDER conspiracy and its companion spiritual movements & organizations.” (p.51)
Kruse seems to agree on one level with alien abduction author David Jacobs (THE THREAT), that there seems to be a definite integrated system of planetary takeover, where they want our bodies for sex and hard labor, as well as food, which includes our genes, DNA, emotional & sexual energy, and worse ~ our souls & higher form of spiritual energy. (p.51) [Where Jacobs leaves off with this negative story, Mr. Kruse, to his credit, continues on, and shows the other side of the coin, and what spirit is NECESSARY to resist this pervasive evil.]
The author indicates that both Reptilian & Insectoid races as being involved, and cites a Dr. Joseph Chiappalone that two separate alien contingents, one backing the US & the other supporting China, are competing with their versions of planetary takeover. (p.52)
To succeed, as noted before, they need “HAPPY COWS”. But, as the author points out, it’s not just our bodies ~ they want our minds too. By controlling the mind, they control the body, and all the fruits thereof, like going to battle with other races, for instance. (p.53)
Part of the plan involves having our institutions of higher learning weed out people & ideas that are not “in tune” with the overall plan. For instance, libraries ban or downplay insightful books about true reality. Governments eliminate people who upset the status quo. Truths are hidden under the classification of “NATIONAL SECURITY”. (p.65) [In my own research, I have found a great UFO-related book that gives ‘chapter & verse’ about the above ingredients of control: Richard Dolan’s UFOs & the NATIONAL SECURITY STATE.]
THE TRUMAN SHOW
Mr. Kruse uses the above-named movie (starring Jim Carey) as a metaphor for the themes just presented~calling it the ‘GLOBAL TRUMAN SHOW’. TRUMAN is code for “true man” which you and the author are (or at least, were.) If you start to suspect “something funny going on” (like Truman did in the movie,) it may lead you to the unmasking of FALSE REALITY, [which, in turn, may lead to the door to freedom, as in “Good morning~good afternoon & good night!” which were the parting lines of Truman when he escaped at the end.] (p.29)
BUT THE QUESTION REMAINS: Where do all the actors & actresses that fooled Truman [and by extension-all of us] come from? AND THE ANSWER IS…”trauma based mind control”. (p.30) [This will be fully discussed later in this critique.]
The key to running the GLOBAL TRUMAN SHOW is beautifully described by the author in the following words:
“They understand [the people running the show] if they are successful in constructing these belief systems to block out the truth [your preconceptions as illustrated in the movie ~ i.e. THE TRUMAN SHOW] that they will not have to worry about someone walking around with a bunch [of] documents proving them wrong. [Such as the two volumes of THE UNIVERSAL SEDUCTION, for instance.]They know that facts will not change your mind if you are heavily invested in a belief system supported by all your friends. They are now. . .very sure you will not wake up, even when conflicting facts are staring you in the face.” (p.33) [AS A SIDENOTE, even though I have proved to myself & to anyone who takes the time & effort to look at the IRS SCAM (as now two fine fellows did at my direction,) a scam which is being perpetrated on the citizens of the united States of America, it is almost impossible to get the majority of people to ACT ON THIS SCAM! I guess that they (the asleep ones) wish to remain “HAPPY COWS!”]
Lastly, the GLOBAL TRUMAN SHOW is nothing less than the gradual hypnotizing of an entire planetary population into the acceptance of its own enslavement. [Review quote #3 at the beginning of this critique.] To maintain this SHOW, two essential functions must take place continuously: the suppression of truth & the injection of falsehood, which again gets us back to part of the theme of the author [about the cars & the gas & ‘hush~hush’ about the alien beings.] (p.55)
Ingredients to “pull-off” TRUMAN SHOW now that we have a bit of idea what the parameters are, the author starts citing (not movie items) but what is being used right now in the [BIG HOLLYWOOD~EARTH] ~ SUCH AS ~putting fluoride in the water supply ~~building mind-altering electronic systems like cell phones, GWEN [Ground Wave Energy Network] & HAARP [High Active Auroral Research Project]~making the air alkaline by spraying chemtrails in our skies
AS THE AUTHOR NOTES, ALL OF THE ABOVE WERE DESIGNED TO MAKE US MORE PASSIVE~RECEPTIVE [i.e. HAPPY COWS!] THE ENEMY WITHIN
[All pyramids have bases. The aliens – in this case – would be the CAPSTONE. Who would be the other parts of the edifice to keep the facade of FALSE REALITY functioning properly?] The author suggests that in an area like “ENERGY” it is people like J.P. MORGAN [ROTHSCHILD~NWO AGENT~AND MEMBER OF ELITE COMMITTEE OF 300 which John Coleman has documented as those being above governments.] J.P. Morgan single-handedly vetoed free-energy possibilities from the [HAPPY COWS] by sabotaging the work of Nicola Tesla, who was ready-willing & able to unlock free energy in the early part of last century.
In other areas like “MEDICINE,” Kruse cites Hilda Clark & Basil Earle Wainwright, who both had success in assisting people with AIDS &/OR CANCER. They were both hounded by the authorities since success in these areas would not be tolerated (cf. text, pages 58-59 for the ugly details).[One should not be too surprised at this since if you had listened to an interview with Eutace Mullins regarding his book, DEATH BY INJECTION, you would be aware of just how sinister the Rockefellers were in propagating a false medical agenda with the emphasis on pharmaceutical drugs, at the expense of homeopathic medicine; other brilliant voices echoing the same sad story about our false medical standards were those of Dr. Lorraine Day, Howard Lyman (THE MAD COWBOY), and Ed McCabe (oxygen therapy expert)~ all of whom gave great attestations that the medical field is rife with corruption & greed, caring more about the almighty dollar than the people [COWS] they were sworn to serve; I challenge anyone to do an internet google search on any one of the above, all of whom echo the sentiments of Neal Kruse in this area.]
Other enemies in the POLITIcal arena, for example, belong to the same CLUB OF 300, doing the same dastardly things as in MEDICNE & ENERGY. The author cites, for example, the Kennedy assassination, where he personally found out from an �ear” witness to the event (cf. page 63 to understand how the author has to posture himself to get this kind of information), that THE DRIVER OF THE CAR was one of the assassins – inferring what we all should know by now ~ that Kennedy’s death was due to a well-orchestrated conspiracy…Later on page 69, Kruse boils all these events down to a very simple goal: A ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT, but not run by free-thinking individuals (i.e. group consciousness), but rather by “hive” consciousness, which is being planned right now using the United Nations. This will lead inevitably to people like Henry Kissinger [a major player in the NWO] to get the UN into Jerusalem to co-opt the Temple Mount for use in the new global religion. All of these things that have transpired are ultimately being orchestrated from “above”.
THE ENEMY WITHOUT
This enemy, as mentioned before, concerns beings from elsewhere…as per the author’s opinion. “THEY” have been planning & working this immediate operation for several thousand years. [Although Kruse does not mention them, authors like Zecharia Sitchin & Richard Thompson have made a good case for this time frame in books like “THE 12TH PLANET” & “ALIEN IDENTITIES” respectively.] Most of our upper level politicians, celebrities & CEO’s. are employed in the execution of this scheme, and, more importantly, are “selling out” the human race which entails [among other things mentioned in the letter] the creation of a HYBRID RACE and the establishment of a global control system. (p.26) [Which high officer of our fair land would wish to get on TV and admit to this? Look at what happened to JFK for thinking of doing much less.]
Kruse specifically states that within the “current reality matrix generally [there is] the idea that aliens do not exist because neither the people in the know, NOR the aliens want you to know about them – at least not until they are ready for the next scene in their little stage play. They do not want you to know because they are taking advantage of you and they don’t want you to find out in what way or by what methods and what purpose.” (p.35).
[So maybe the themes in the movie THE MATRIX and INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (the scary original) are based on a subliminal real false reality bleeding through our collective consciousness and that’s what makes them scary or gives us the sense…IT’S MORE THAN JUST A MOVIE!!!]
MOST ALIENS ARE NOT SO NICE
[Anyone with half a brain and the dimmest spiritual discernment (which ostensibly precludes SOME OF the nuts & bolts ufologists,) would deduce this if for no other reason, the modus operandi catalogued in the UFO & ALIEN ABDUCTION literature: MISDIRECTION! Spiritual beings of a high order do NOT have this characteristic; therefore, if one is not emphatically a truly spiritual person, this little notation gets LOST IN TRANSLATION as it did with our left-brained military midgets. PERIOD!]
Kruse, being an intuitive author in these matters, cites the example of the Orion grays (a semi-reptilian race) who in the late 40s or early 50s offered [THE TROJAN HORSE] of alien technology in exchange for experimenting on our citizens, and the above-mentioned left brained military midgets bought into it HOOK~LINE & SINKER! This apparently occurred despite the warnings of another alien group who refused to give us this technology. They said, “Watch out for the bad guys” while we [the military left-brained LUSTFUL midgets] told the good aliens to take a hike. (p.36)
[Is it any wonder we are in the sad & desperate situation that we are in with the cattle mutilations and the reported horrors outlined, ad nauseum, even in Volume One of this very series, a la AREA 51 underground activities?!?]
NEAL OWEN KRUSE stated his simple yet elegant philosophy on page 37 of this LETTER:
“The true purpose of life is the opportunity to fully realize the God spark within each of us. Life as we live it on this planet is a perfect environment for just such an experience. Anyone offering to short circuit the process is not a friend.” (p.37) [HOW TRUE THIS IS! In my own writings as byron lebeau, I had used the expression, ‘NECESSARY FERTILIZER’ as the environmental journey’s ingredient so as not to short circuit this important process of “overcoming”; if you read the book, THE ROBE OF GLORY by John Davidson, you will clearly see that you-TRUE MAN – are on the same metaphorical journey as the mighty Ulysses [Odysseus] of Homer’s epic tale, in your journey back to your God ~ as Ulysses wished to be reunited to his Penelope. This echoes the Gnostic tale as enumerated in many tractates of THE NAG HAMMADI LIBRARY & ‘PISTIS SOPHIA’ spiritual mythology.
As the author wisely points out: BEWARE OF STRANGERS [GREEKS] BEARING GIFTS (which echoes THE TROJAN HORSE example in Homer’s tale,) like the Pleiadians, for instance, [[our possible modern-day TROJAN HORSE.]] (p.37) I have reflected on this same concern which is on a web page called, ‘THE PLEIADIAN CONNECTION’ found on url: http://hey_223.tripod.com/byronlebeauspoetryampprose/ which is my first website: byron lebeau ESQ.- poetry & prose.]
Kruse makes a very specific & cogent notation on page 66:
“It is the aliens we refer to as the big-nosed Grays from the Orion constellation that are experts in setting up these systems. On this planet it is called the NEW WORLD ORDER…” as in Tony Blair, George H. Bush, Sr., in league with a host of other ‘actors & actresses’ a la THE TRUMAN SHOW. [I think this just about sums up the current state of affairs in REAL false reality.] IN A NUTSHELL
In Kruse’s opinion, the small Grays are controlled by the Draconian Reptilians & Orion Grays, who in turn seem controlled by the “ASARU ENTITIES” located at a higher energetic level, who in turn seem to be run by still higher negative influences…where EVIL PREFERS SEDUCTION TO THE APPLICATION OF DIRECT FORCE [since] if you want to capture the will (of man~ ‘true-man’) you have to use something other than force. [Some ufologists who are not aware of this principle, or lacking spiritual discernment, would naturally misconstrue what may be really going on in ufology; NON-SENSICAL PROPOSITIONS ENSUE! I say this as an observer of this checkered field for over 30 years.] The author then ends this short section on page 75 with the #3 quote I chose to put at the beginning of this critical essay that begins, “to understand evil…”
FALSE RELIGIONS & AGENDAS vs. THE TRUE SPIRIT
[I was absolutely delighted to see how Mr. Kruse went about separating out false religions & beliefs (usually tied into THE NEW AGE material) without disparaging holy and sacred concepts such as REINCARNATION & certain Christian Gnostic texts (which he does not mention by name;) I will be giving some web page support to possibly supplement what the author MAY HAVE BEEN referring to.]
Kruse makes no bones about how both Moses & Joseph Smith may have been fooled by reptilian management & that Sai Baba is a good modern example of someone using the same bag of tricks and it seems to work almost every time. (p.37) [Although I would have liked to have seen more details in this regard, I will make one observation: Moses was specifically referred to as a “LAUGHINGSTOCK” in what I consider a holy & sacred writing called, ‘The Second Treatise of the Great Seth,’ found within THE NAG HAMMADI LIBRARY; if the viewer of this essay wishes to get a concept of the vast scope of these writings, please go to my comprehensive website: THE GNOSTIC ELEPHANT, located at: http://hey_223.tripod.com/
thegnosticelephantascompiledbybyronlebeau/. This is part of the supporting information which I think necessary for a complete appraisal of what may be going on in what I frame as TOTAL REALITY.]
He cites THEOSOPHY, in particular, as being the root of the NEW AGE MOVEMENT, especially in the form of the THREE B’s ~ Madame Helena P. Blavatsky, Annie Besant & Alice Bailey, introducing us to Ascended Masters like Koot Hoomi (Kuthumi) & Djwahl Khul (aka the Tibetan Master) [as in BEWARE OF GREEKS BEARING GIFTS]; Alice Bailey helped form the Lucis Trust, formerly LUCIFER PUBLISHING COMPANY, founded in 1922, [at the same time, I might add, that TAVISTOCK, the NWO FINISHING SCHOOL was being established in merry old England] where the Lucis Press is a publishing arm for the United Nations; incidentally, TAVISTOCK was, indeed, the place where George Orwell learned all the things he put in his two classic books, ANIMAL FARM & “1984”.] (p.46)
[Is it all JUST COINCIDENCE, or is there something dark going on under the auspices of FALSE LIGHT as the author strongly suggests?!?] Although Kruse does not admit to being a fundamentalist, and does not label all Gnostic groups as anti-Christian (thank God), nor disparages the sacred concept of REINCARNATION, he is very blunt about “the trinity of the Theosophists” as consisting of Lucifer, Maitreya (a biggy with the NEW AGE crowd) & Sanat Kumara (SATAN) whereas the trinity of true Christians consists of Adonai, Jesus & Archangel Mikeal (Michael) ~ in the author’s [humble] opinion. (pgs.41-43)
[AT THIS POINT IT IS TIME TO REALLY CALL A SPADE A SPADE: Way too often I have read & heard how FUNDAMENTALISTS blast the NEW AGE (as above) but on the other hand, fail miserably to discern the truth about the law of REINCARNATION. (DON’T THEY UNDERSTAND THEIR OWN BIBLE?!?) Mr. Kruse, as if bringing a breath of fresh air and common sense, demonstrates – what I feel � is the proper balance between these two camps of seduction. (How clever Satan is!) If you take the trouble to go to my website, BULLdog lebeau TAKE tooooo, located at http://hey_223.tripod.com
/bulldoglebeautaketooooo and click onto the web page, ‘REINCARNATION: A CHRISTIAN REFLECTION UPON’ ~ you may be shocked & amazed at the (at least) 22 Biblical references &/or inferences to this very concept of REINCARNATION. LET’S STOP THE FUNDAMENTALIST NON-SENSE, PLEASE! This is an important distinction which Neal Owen Kruse seems to understand ~ NOT TO THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATHWATER!] Kruse (as well as myself) has major problems with the likes of Maitreya & Sai Baba, the details of which he cites of pages 43-44; [what did Jesus say: BEWARE OF FALSE CHRISTS!] Interestingly enough (as in BIRDS OF A FEATHER…) he points out that H.P. Blavatsky (of the THREE B’s) utters in her own words ~ which betrays her true allegiance:
“It is Satan who is the god of our planet & the only god,” and according to Kruse, she states this without any allusive metaphor to its wickedness & depravity. (p.42 while quoting THE SECRET DOCTIRNE {{page 234}}} } He goes onto state that Blavatsky’s Satan is Lord of the World & the Ancient of Days. Bailey’s Sanat Kumara is the Lord of the World & the Ancient of Days. Kruse sarcastically adds ~~ PRINCE OF THE WORLD in the New Testament ~ YOU GUESSED IT ~~ SATAN! (pgs.42-42) [Does this come as a shock to some people? Albert Pike, the Pope of Freemasonry, also declared that their god was Lucifer (SATAN) in a book distributed to higher ranking freemasons, called MORALS & DOGMA. DOUBT IT NOT! As this author indicates throughout his 60 page LETTER, they are ALL BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHER. Doubt it not!] On page 46, Mr. Kruse links Blavatsky to Bulwar Lytton, Grandmaster of the Scottish Rites Masonic Order, an Illuminatus, Head of British Intelligence & Viceroy of India. One of the tasks assigned to Blavatsky—aside from initiating the NEW AGE movement—was to destroy the underpinnings of Christianity. “The plans for our new global government, otherwise known as the Bush (George Sr.)/Bailey/Besant/Blavatsky/Blair (Tony) NEW WORLD ORDER, are employing the very blueprints provided us by the [now FIVE] busy Bs to set up a global religion based on New Age ideals.” (p.46)
Again, Mr. Kruse notes very bluntly: “Religions don’t cause wars nearly as much as the Illuminati members do – so they can blame it on religion.’ (p.47) [If you were to read Eustace Mullins’ THE SECRETS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE, these same Illuminati devils have been deceptively involved in divesting unsuspecting American citizens of a good portion of their money since the institution of the FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. They have bankrolled ALL WARS, religiously based or not since wars are what continues to enhance the wealth of ROTHSCHILD, INC. Doubt it not!]
LASTLY, I was also delighted to see the author focus on the likes of David Icke. On page 50 of his LETTER, he states that although Icke may be an authority on the Reptilian Race agenda, [cf. THE BIGGENST SECRET], it is in this same book that he did not seem to perceive “that a real entity equal to the Jesus legend did in fact exist. Icke’s blanket denial of any such figure serves well Theosophy’s goal of destroying the faiths in this world that will hold back their dark agenda.
[AMEN! I personally took Icke to task on this very point; cf. Eve Lorgen’s website, THE LOVE BITE, at www.alienlovebite.com and click onto byron lebeau’s essay: THE MARRING OF THE NAG HAMMADI.]
THE TRUE SPIRIT
Neal Kruse states that he would NOT agree that people such as Edgar Cayce should be lumped in with the SATANIC NEW AGE. [He did not say why, as far as I could surmise, but I wonder if he would say the same of Levi Dowling, who was able to perceive the Akashic Records EVEN MORE CLEARLY than Mr. Cayce had. If you go to my website: AQUARIAN DIALOGUES & SAYINGS, you may get an inkling of how holy people (such as Levi) perceived truth & gave excellent supplementary material to the New Testament, in my humble opinion.]
SUPPLEMENTING GNOSTIC INTUITIONS
Although Neal Owen Kruse never quotes THE NAG HAMMADI in his open letter, per se, nevertheless, I think he would nod in agreement with regards to – at least some – of its contents, pertinent to the themes of his same open letter. I had to laugh when I saw this below statement from page 76: “It’s as though God said, if you want to come home to me, just play this little game for awhile, and when you finally figure it out, we’ll all be together again.”
[I personally called this little game ‘NECESSARY FERTILIZER’ which I noted when I first read, ‘The Tripartite Tractate’ many years ago. To my mind, it is the same necessary fertilizer that NEO in THE MATRIX had to overcome (metaphorically speaking,) or the dream we have to pierce through, as stated by Paramahansa Yogananda, in a brilliant spiritual lecture called, “AWAKE IN THE COSMIC DREAM,” where this saint of the East identified our struggle with MAYA which equals the term ILLUSION. When you really think about it, illusion = seduction because this is the art of the magician, and the reason why the inner core of the NWO are called THE MAGI, the largest liars and seducers mankind has ever had the sorry occasion to witness. When we overcome this maya, we will be “all together again” and truly happy cows.]
The author admits that after initially being angry with the UNIVERSAL SEDUCTION and its “unapologetic harmful effect” he later realized that ALL in the universe is ultimately as it should be and serves the divine plan of allowing sentience to return to its highest expression. (pgs.76-77) [AGAIN, this is a PERFECT DESCRIPTION of the organization of the Saviour ~ Jesus the Christ ~ in the same Gnostic (necessary fertilizer) tractate: ‘The Tripartite Tractate.
When Kruse states that . . . “many of these lessons can only be learned over great spans of time & many lifetimes” (p.77), he is echoing the wisdom – not only from THE NAG HAMMADI LIBRARY material, but also the ‘PISTIS SOPHIA’~THE AQUARIAN GOSPEL OF JESUS the CHRIST, and as well as the inferences and seeds in both the Old & New Testament, as indicated before.
LASTLY, when the author states: “The plain point of fact is: If the human collective belief system were to rise above its current low water mark, we would create new dimensions and frequencies that would hold a different structure of reality entirely.” (p.79) I THINK THAT THE AUTHOR IS looking to the same type of person that the author of ‘The Gospel of Philip’ envisioned: When we become perfect (cleansed completely) we will get the resurrection ~ while STILL ALIVE; this same author said that the gods should bow down to MAN…[perhaps, us as TRUE-MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE WILLING TO TAKE A HIT or two FOR THE TRUTH!!!]
I believe that the author understands that it is very possible to “build a reality outside the confines of the Universal Seduction” (p.81) and this is our destiny, so that a ‘NEW WORLD FREEDOM’ will eventually be achieved ~ with all of its splendid possibilities [which as St. Paul says, EYE HAS NOT SEEN NOR EAR HEARD…] which will be continuously bathed in the sweet musical harmony of love & compassion for every creature. At that blessed time, you will have reason to be a happy cow or spirit since you will be once again linked to the divine, and every tear will be wiped dry!
"The information presented in the three volumes of THE UNIVERSAL SEDUCTION, Piercing the Veils of Deception may frighten or annoy you. Wait until you hear what is really going on behind our backs by the American and World Governments. Learn the truth about the Federal Reserve Bank, The Government's involvement with ETs, The Secret Societies that control America - and so much more. THE UNIVERSAL SEDUCTION is a 3 volume trilogy; each volume is 7 X 10 with 550-600 pages each - and after reading them you may never be the same again."
