Introduction to Preparatory Texts and Other Texts
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, amen. This is an introduction to preparatory texts and also some other series of writings I shall begin to write beginning on the first day of next year. The preparatory texts are simply writings to contain ideas which are still being processed before being sufficiently prepared for the final texts, primarily the Project of Revelation. Technically, only the Project of Revelation needs preparatory texts as the ideas and the articulation of the ideas need much preparation before it is ready to be published in the Project of Revelation. The Project of Revelation is a final work, so it cannot have any further revisions.
Therefore, any work
that is in response to other philosophical or theological work is necessarily a
preparatory text. As the final work is not the commentary itself, but what
ideas I obtain from that commentary. Now, I shall explain some other texts that
will begin next year. I shall begin a series of texts commenting on news
articles which I read, telling the life of saints, reporting my learning of
earthquakes, urban planning, and public transportation, reflecting daily
Scripture readings, examining my daily life, and discussing the history of the
Church. These works shall possibly begin with an introductory text to each
subject, not so much for the benefit of the reader but to explore my own understanding.
This text is now sufficient. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the
Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world
without end, amen.
