ALL AND EVERYTHING
Ten Books in Three Series
FIRST
SERIES
:
Three books under the title of “An Objectively Impartial
Criticism of the Life of Man,” or, “Beelzebub’s tales to his
grandson.”
SECOND
SERIES
:
Three books under the common title of “Meetings with
Remarkable Men.”
THIRD
SERIES
:
Four books under the common title of “Life is Real Only
Then, When ‘I Am.’”
All written according to entirely new principles of logical reason-
ing and strictly directed towards the solution of the following three
cardinal problems:
FIRST
SERIES
: To destroy, mercilessly, without any compromises what-
soever, in the mentation and feelings of the reader, the beliefs and
views, by centuries rooted in him, about everything existing in the
world.
SECOND
SERIES
: To acquaint the reader with the material required for
a new creation and to prove the soundness and good quality of it.
THIRD
SERIES
: To assist the arising, in the mentation and in the feel-
ings of the reader, of a veritable, non- fantastic representation not
of that illusory world which he now perceives, but of the world
existing in reality.

Friendly Advice
[ Written impromptu by the author on delivering this
book, already prepared for publication, to the printer.]
ACCORDING
TO
the numerous deductions and conclusions made by
me during experimental elucidations concerning the productivity
of the perception by contemporary people of new impressions
from what is heard and read, and also according to the thought of
one of the sayings of popular wisdom I have just remembered,
handed down to our days from very ancient times, which declares:
“Any prayer may be heard by the Higher Powers and a correspond-
ing answer obtained only if it is uttered thrice:
Firstly—for the welfare or the peace of the souls of one’s parents.
Secondly—for the welfare of one’s neighbor.
And only thirdly—for oneself personally.”
I find it necessary on the first page of this book, quite ready for
publication, to give the following advice:
“Read each of my written expositions thrice:
Firstly—at least as you have already become mechanized to read
all your contemporary books and newspapers.
Secondly—as if you were reading aloud to another person.
And only thirdly—try and fathom the gist of my writings.”
Only then will you be able to count upon forming your own im-
partial judgment, proper to yourself alone, on my writings. And
only then can my hope be actualized that according to your un-
derstanding you will obtain the specific benefit for yourself which
I anticipate, and which I wish for you with all my being.
