FOREWORD

Darkness and light are the two powers that are fighting to dominate the world. In this book, I try to establish what is light and what is darkness, draw a picture of each one, and show how it is possible to step over the boundaries between them. Alexandra is light, and Anna was darkness; but despite being involved in the worst of everything, practicing things that would lead to damnation and living in total darkness, she was able, with Alexandras help, to step over the boundaries between light and darkness, and move away from the darkness and into the light. Within all of us, there is good and evil, light and darkness; and as time goes by, we realize that there is no joy or happiness to be found within the darkness. We long for the light, but we cant find it, and we cant figure out what is light and what is darkness. I believe that everyone wants to find the light, and that everyone is searching for it, either conciously or unconciously. In this book, I have taken everything that is good and healthy and named it Alexandra. But Anna is the total opposite. That is how I explain what is light and what is darkness. Light and darkness come together and discuss lifes issues after Anna has conquered the darkness and stepped over the boundaries into the light which leads to more and more light. Alexandra lives in the light and has profound knowledge to share with Anna. But despite the light that lives within Alexandra, and despite the knowledge she possesses, the darkness was able to permeat her life during difficult times. Thus, I establish how sneaky the darkness can be and how little it takes for us to lose our way and be led astray when sorrow enters. Sorrow and unhappiness lead to negativity. Negative thoughts and depression, even if temporary, are ways for the darkness to sneak inside. But everything is a learning experience, and we mustnt forget God. It is always possible to return into the light under his guidance. Life is a school, experience is our teacher, and this book is full of experience, not fiction.

What we learn in life, our own experiences, and the experiences of those around us tell us something. I believe that we all want to be good people, that we all want to have a positive impact on the world around us, and live in the light. But we lose our way, and some of us do it again and again. Others are constantly lost travellers on lifes long journey. Perhaps we need cairns or traffic signs in the road. Darkness seems to be conquering the world, and it is no longer the world we intended for our children! Future generations inherit the undesireable task of living in this world the way we have made it. Dont you want to be a part of changing the world? Do you want to leave your children and grandchildren in a sick world? The world will deteriorate if we stand by and do nothing. But the world is us. It is the way we humans make it.

Im not too stupid to realize that this book will be condemned and torn apart, but I dont care. There are plenty of people who feed on such things, and here I give them their nourishment. Those who have nothing better to do can criticize it, and they are welcomed to do so. I am not a famous writer, not a phsychiatrist, and not a philosopher, but it would be better if people educated in these fields or a known writer had taken on the subjects that I tackle in this book. But somebody has to write about them, and that is why I did it, even if I know about the risks involved. Many people who read the script advised me not to publish it, and even feared that I would be attacked because of it. They also thought that no publisher would have the guts to publish my book. But fortunately, there were more people who advised me, or even begged me, to publish it, who said that a book like this was necessary and timely, and thanked me for being brave enough to write it. I know that there is no point in writing a book that floats like a spirit over a lake because that doesnt work, and it doesnt affect anyone. There are plenty of books like that, and even if many of them are good, they have not been effective in provoking people to think. They are too soft and gentle. Issues are dressed up or not mentioned at all, and everyone falls asleep. Why should I write a book like that? There are plenty of them, and people just carry on sleeping. That is why I will not wrap my words in silk and tie a bow around them. I use words that are used today, even though I realize that many of you wouldnt use them out loud. We have already established that young people appreciate what Ive written; it has made them think and even helped them. I cannot be bothered to take people for walks in the park to point out the roses and the beautiful flowers to them. There are plenty of books about flora. I dont use fancy words, and I dont scrutinize each sentence for different ways of writing it that could make me appear to be a clever writer. My only objective is to try and get people to think.

I know that most people, if not everyone, are a little bit like Anna and will recognize themselves in her, which is why their first reaction will be anger. People get angry when the truth hurts. People are looking at themselves in the mirror and yet they arent. Anna is a mirror, but nobody wants to look at themselves in a mirror like that. This book is direct and hard hitting, and the language I use is not beautiful. It is full of horribly ugly words, but it is a language that everyone understands. Dear reader, if you dare not look in the mirror, and if you dare not look at yourself the way you really are, then you should stop reading now. I think I must also advise old and vulnerable people not to read this book. But let the one without sin throw the first stone. Isnt that quite a good thing to say? We are all guilty of committing sin. I know that those who get a kick out of trampling this book into the dirt (because maybe they have nothing better to do and/or are simply too spiritually poor) and cirticizing it in every way have a lot of ammunition, like the wording f. ex., the breach of writing tradition, or simply terrible writing. But I dont care because I am not trying to write. Im just talking and wanting to be able to say what I think. I know that people will say that this book is badly written, badly organized, and that the poems are awful because I am trying to rhyme and I dont know how to. They will say that I am generalizing and claiming that everything is one way or the other, that everyone is bad or good, and nothing in between. I think Id better answer these criticisms up front.
