Interjection Nine The main goals of including everything I have previously in a book about The Mona Lisa is to better understand how her existence is possible. The theories I’m going to present, the ideas I’m going to try to explain are extraordinarily complex. I feel I have to give the mental processes that went behind them or else they won’t be understood. If I were to simply say: “The Mona Lisa is in 3d” you would take the sentence as it is, relate it to your current knowledge on 3d and paintings and the Mona Lisa and then decide whether my sentence was true or false. This would be determined by all your previous knowledge and beliefs. What you have to be careful of is letting your beliefs shadow your lack of knowledge and understanding. You might believe it is impossible, but that doesn’t mean anything.
I guess my biggest problem, my biggest fear, and doubt I have about writing this book, and trying to explain a new theory is the opinion of others. Why should they believe ME? Why should they think I’m right? Or wrong? Or partly right? I think it’s trying to make everyone happy that holds us back the most, isn’t it?
We’ll change who we are, what we do, what we look like – for the opinions of other people – most of who never even care enough to justify their consideration! Why should we do anything but what we do for ourselves? In my case and that of all of those who want to be taken seriously and believed it’s a very fine line. Do I say what I think you want to hear, or what I want to say? Do I hold back, or do I let it go? But what is it? Is it truth or a belief? Why should you believe anything that’s in this book? Or any book? How is it that I get you to listen or to consider everything or anything I say to be true? Is that my duty or yours? Why do some people believe the people who say they’ve seen Big foot and other people don’t? Isn’t it your opinion of the person making the claim? How do you know what and who you can really believe?
I say this, I include this not to try to convince you of something but to keep you thinking. What if? What if I’m right, what if I’m wrong? And if I’m wrong – what is right? Isn’t it your duty to find the truth? If I’m wrong, then help me discover the truth. I encourage everyone who reads this to not judge this, but to carefully consider it. I respect honesty and have as my main and single goal to find the universal truths in life – those that I can base my life on. So when reading through this book or anything really, when that flag gets raised in your mind because something seemingly conflicts with something you thought you knew or believed to be true – don’t ignore it – don’t automatically believe or not believe me or what you’ve read. Instead consider why you’re confused or have doubt.
Why is it that you fear being wrong? Why is it that you fear finding a new truth? There seems to be two types of people; those who want to prove themselves right, and those who want to prove the truth. Sometimes those are the same, and sometimes they are not.
I’ll express now with complete honesty that I search for the truth, and not to prove anything but that there is a truth and we are capable of finding it. So when you find something strange or ridiculous I ask you, not to believe me implicitly but to question yourself. It’s the greatest gift you can give yourself, to trust yourself and to know you search for truth and not ignorance.
I know what I’ve found is what Da Vinci left behind for someone to find. This book doesn’t represent something I’ve created, but something I’ve put together. They are not original thoughts, but classic – RE-Discovered ones!
I learned nothing until I realized everything I thought I knew was wrong.
