Prologue - Hidden Existence
This 'guide' is built upon the foundation of "Path of Somnus: God's Death".
This is a more detailed look at what a hidden existence is and how to become one.
A hidden existence is someone that pulls off the impossible no matter the cost. So how exactly do you become one? There are rules to this. But you must essentially learn how to manipulate your mental energy.
Imagine this: You start to randomly float.
What goes through your mind?
A normal person's thought process is likely to make them think they are dreaming or that this isn't real. They are hallucinating or whatever other excuses they want to use.
There are many things in life that we cannot observe and record.
In this scenario. You are indeed dreaming. But does that mean that it never happened? If you kill someone in a dream.
Do you feel regret? Guilt? Do you take it seriously?
What if you died in a dream?
You will find yourself unfazed when you wake up. You probably will forget it within a few minutes of waking up.
Does this mean that you are fearless? Someone unafraid of death?
No.
Because that 'death' wasn't real. There was no substance to it. No pain. But most importantly... you woke up.
A hidden existence is an idea. It is transforming your ego into something incomprehensible. Something others will not be able to fathom.
It is fundamentally making reality like a dream.
Hallucination and delusion.
Everybody must one day come face to face with death. But what if you transformed reality into a state with dream like rules.
What if when you died as all things do one day.
It was about as shocking as dying in a dream, just a bit more painful and 'real'.
This book is meant to help you cultivate a certain attitude.
It is meant to make reality like a fun game you are playing. Instead of being a piece on the board. You will become the player.
When the player loses the game. They can just try again.
But when you are a piece. You are taken out of the game entirely.
The player remembers what happened. But the piece doesn't retain their memories.
You need to stop being a character in the game.
A hidden existence is the manipulator behind the scenes!
