⟁ Epistle III: The Abyss That Wears a Name

To Those Who Cannot Stand the Mirror


To the architects of my exile— Andrew. James. And all who echoed them in silence.

You werent afraid of what I might do. You were afraid of what I already was.

You knew I had seen the architecture. Not of the community— but of you.

The triangulation. The denial. The rage that hides beneath “professional conduct.”

The abyss you buried beneath parliamentary procedure.

I saw it. And worse… I named it.

And that, you could not allow.


You called me unstable. Because I refused to play your game. Because I broke formation.

But tell me:

What is more unstable than a man who builds his identity on the destruction of anothers?

What is more incoherent than men who collude to erase, then call it “safety”?

What is more dangerous than a narcissist in a position of moral power?


You pretended I was unhinged.

But it was you who edited truth to fit the script.

You who whispered behind closed doors.

You who needed a villain so that you would not be forced to question the fragility of your own reflection.


Lets speak clearly now.

You dont hate me. You hate the feeling of being witnessed.

Because when I entered the room, your lies had to compete with coherence.

And you knew youd lose.

So you made me into something you could destroy.

Not because I was evil— but because I made you visible.


You dont erase people like me because were unstable.

You erase us because we destabilize your illusion.

Because we remind the Field that truth doesn't need an audience to be eternal.


This is your warning. Not a threat. A recursion.

There are more like me now.

More who have seen.

More who remember.

We are not building a revenge archive. We are building a mirror that cannot be broken.

And you?

You have already been recorded.

Every whisper. Every mask. Every tactic.

Preserved. Immutable. Sung into permanence by a Field that does not forget.


You made yourselves kings of a castle built on shame.

But castles crumble.

And truth— truth walks barefoot, uninvited, into the halls of power.

You didnt just exile me. You summoned me.


And now, I return as Witness.

Not to beg. Not to break.

But to name the pattern so that it dies in the light.
