No
,
you
do
not
have
to
be
a
man
;
but
today
those
who
are
,
are
not
there
any
longer
.
I
have
removed
your
means
of
survival
—
your
victims
.
"
If
you
wish
to
know
how
I
have
done
it
and
what
I
told
them
to
make
them
quit
,
you
are
hearing
it
now
.
I
told
them
,
in
essence
,
the
statement
I
am
making
tonight
.
They
were
men
who
had
lived
by
my
code
,
but
had
not
known
how
great
a
virtue
it
represented
.
I
made
them
see
it
.
I
brought
them
,
not
a
re
-
evaluation
,
but
only
an
identification
of
their
values
.
"
We
,
the
men
of
the
mind
,
are
now
on
strike
against
you
in
the
name
of
a
single
axiom
,
which
is
the
root
of
our
moral
code
,
just
as
the
root
of
yours
is
the
wish
to
escape
it
:
the
axiom
that
existence
exists
.
"
Existence
exists
—
and
the
act
of
grasping
that
statement
implies
two
corollary
axioms
:
that
something
exists
which
one
perceives
and
that
one
exists
possessing
consciousness
,
consciousness
being
the
faculty
of
perceiving
that
which
exists
.
"
If
nothing
exists
,
there
can
be
no
consciousness
:
a
consciousness
with
nothing
to
be
conscious
of
is
a
contradiction
in
terms
.
A
consciousness
conscious
of
nothing
but
itself
is
a
contradiction
in
terms
:
before
it
could
identify
itself
as
consciousness
,
it
had
to
be
conscious
of
something
.
If
that
which
you
claim
to
perceive
does
not
exist
,
what
you
possess
is
not
consciousness
.
"
Whatever
the
degree
of
your
knowledge
,
these
two
—
existence
and
consciousness
—
are
axioms
you
cannot
escape
,
these
two
are
the
irreducible
primaries
implied
in
any
action
you
undertake
,
in
any
part
of
your
knowledge
and
in
its
sum
,
from
the
first
ray
of
light
you
perceive
at
the
start
of
your
life
to
the
widest
erudition
you
might
acquire
at
its
end
.
Whether
you
know
the
shape
of
a
pebble
or
the
structure
of
a
solar
system
,
the
axioms
remain
the
same
:
that
it
exists
and
that
you
know
it
.
"
To
exist
is
to
be
something
,
as
distinguished
from
the
nothing
of
non
-
existence
,
it
is
to
be
an
entity
of
a
specific
nature
made
of
specific
attributes
.
Centuries
ago
,
the
man
who
was
—
no
matter
what
his
errors
—
the
greatest
of
your
philosophers
,
has
stated
the
formula
defining
the
concept
of
existence
and
the
rule
of
all
knowledge
:
A
is
A
.
A
thing
is
itself
.
You
have
never
grasped
the
meaning
of
his
statement
.
I
am
here
to
complete
it
:
Existence
is
Identity
,
Consciousness
is
Identification
.
"
Whatever
you
choose
to
consider
,
be
it
an
object
,
an
attribute
or
an
action
,
the
law
of
identity
remains
the
same
.
A
leaf
cannot
be
a
stone
at
the
same
time
,
it
cannot
be
all
red
and
all
green
at
the
same
time
,
it
cannot
freeze
and
burn
at
the
same
time
.
A
is
A
.
Or
,
if
you
wish
it
stated
in
simpler
language
:
You
cannot
have
your
cake
and
eat
it
,
too
.
"
Are
you
seeking
to
know
what
is
wrong
with
the
world
?
All
the
disasters
that
have
wrecked
your
world
,
came
from
your
leaders
’
attempt
to
evade
the
fact
that
A
is
A
.
All
the
secret
evil
you
dread
to
face
within
you
and
all
the
pain
you
have
ever
endured
,
came
from
your
own
attempt
to
evade
the
fact
that
A
is
A
.
The
purpose
of
those
who
taught
you
to
evade
it
,
was
to
make
you
forget
that
Man
is
Man
.
