THE PRODIGY IS A NEW NOVEL GENRE CALLED MYSTIC-REALISM

The Vision:

The mind is controlled by the assimilation of external experience by the Internal Design. We think, we observe, assess, judge, but we really are influenced. The Internal Design controls.

I listen, if I can to the Vision.

The Vision is outside the Internal Design, confronting the internal and external: as foreign, immediate and transient, in the now.

In order to break down the Internal Design, one must remove himself from the past, from that consciousness, yet, recall aspects of past that are influencing what is being experienced now.

The past is belief and belief is past. The past is the future until the belief is changed.

The purpose of the Vision:

The Internal Design can be challenged by emotions and reasoning. The emotions make one listen. Reasoning makes one think. Emotions create memory, relativity, corresponding moments, seemingly. Although nothing is the same, the mind reasons: "There must be more. There's always more."

It is the Vision that challenges. It is belief that must be redesigned. Then a new future will follow.

The Vision cannot be defined in a short summary: rather, it is the body of work of a lifetime.

The Door:

But there is a door, which opens into the Vision, seeing with the Vision, the light it illuminates onto everything.

First of all, it is not the main character who asks what is real and not real, or who's beliefs are challenged.

It is the reader’s belief.

The reader is the detective, the one searching, wanting to solve who and what the main character is, in the same way, one searches for self.

The work is not confusing, rather, it is ultra definitive, extraordinary made ordinary, or visa-versa.

The reader searches for definition, stimulated by the search mentally, feeling emotionally related.

The Door is the question, the answer inferred, the surprise that the answer isn't the definition of the question at all.

The main character wakes up and he is changed. He questions it little, if not at all, does not think of it as disturbing. He is conscious of his feelings, which, even so is not what he believes. He is simply someone else. He tells himself it is a new day. But it is him that is new.

There is no explanation of why he is in this state of mind. The story reveals why.

He doesn't try to solve it, lives in the state of "this is me now."
