Acknowledgement

Firstly, I want to thank all the volunteers who allowed me into their minds. They knew that my work was experimental, but despite that, they had the courage to proceed further. Additionally, they were brave enough to face the horrible memories that appeared along the way. Without these amazing individuals, this book wouldn’t be possible.

Thanks to all the people who were involved in the development of Chaos theory, and especially Mitchell Feigenbaum. Those studies shaped my understanding of the physical aspect of the world, which heavily influenced my work and life in general.

It is fair to mention that Sigmund Freud’s work on connecting dots between childhood and adulthood, and the study of the unconscious, was very influential, despite the controversy that is also associated with Freud’s work.

Special thanks to Danna Pycher and her insights on working with the unconscious and healing techniques. You can delve into her work by visiting TEDx Talks Youtube channel.

Enormous amount of gratitude to the TED organization in general and to all the individuals who contributed there. This resource is full of interesting perspectives on different problems.

Thanks and respect to the Wikipedia project and all the Homo sapiens who contributed there. This is a great non-profit source of knowledge.

I want to thank my love, Mariia. She not only supported me all the way but was also one of the volunteers. She is one of the most powerful individuals I’ve ever known. Her challenging questions about the nature of good and evil, and her battles with the demons of the past, have greatly contributed to this book.
