The Law of the Heart is One

Clearly this is a manuscript draft, complete with printer smudges at 
the edges of the paper.

I know that it is awkward to read a manuscript printed "unbound, 2-up, 
double-sided." As it is a draft, and with the resources I have 
available, this is the most practical manner in which I can print this 
book for a couple dozen friends. If you find this awkward to read (for 
example, you want a large print version), there is a PDF available 
online, which is printed in the standard manner.

I am willing to edit nearly anything out of this book except the 
Articles of Faith and Practice, which date from the 1920s and are 
sufficient alone to accomplish all the purposes I intend with this book. 
Upon your recommendation, I will consider removing whole chapters, 
putting entirely new ones in their place, or editing any line or 
paragraph. For example, the Robot article might be so awkwardly 
inappropriate that it goes. Or maybe it could be made funnier, or more 
serious in tone. Or maybe the visions remain unpublished for now. We'll 
see.

As the book explains, the original draft will always be available to 
those who seek the full substance of a matter, but what gets published 
to the world for all to see is still undetermined. It will solidify by 
January 2012 at the latest, when I intend to publish at large, which may 
simply be a matter of wheat-pasting portions of it on the walls near 
local bus stops. Or we might have wealthy donors appear out of nowhere, 
happy to oblige any pecuniary desires for their own motives, as happens 
sometimes with small movements like this. We'll see.

Note this draft contains mostly original material but also some 
copyrighted material for which I have not yet asked permission. 
Therefore it is important that no electronic copies of this be 
distributed to the public yet. It is entirely within fair use for me to 
distribute this privately to you as reviewers of a manuscript. Go to 
assembletheoutcasts.org, enter the password given you in person and 
there you will find a PDF which you can read online or print out any way 
you desire, but do please be careful until these permissions are 
secured.

I have been working on this book for several years, and pretty much 
nobody knew about it until recently, because I know the material is well 
off the grid of normal or even reasonable. I am sending this to you 
because you are a friend whom I trust to intimately know this part of my 
life, who could reasonably say: "Why didn't you tell me you wrote a book 
about God?" and because I respect your editorial opinion on this kind of 
book -- even if you say "It sucks, you're crazy, and I threw it away." 
(One friend already calls it "good wall-throwing material.") One of the 
problems with going as deep into this material as I have, is that a 
fellow gains tunnel vision, and it is hard to understand how others see 
it. Any assistance in making it easy on poor gullible folk like me, who 
will believe it heartily, is welcome.

Please be honest, and for my part I will be ready to weigh whatever you 
say in response, and hopefully thereby the sharpest edges of its madness 
can be tamed, its gems found and polished, and its already-colorful path 
properly prepared.
