I call it my “Notebooks”; Notebooks of an Apocalypse . The Greeks knew, as did John of Patmos, that this famed “Apocalypse,” which has elicited so many monsters (although there might be, after all, a few tremors and some “beasts”... already visible), simply meant “to lay bare,” apo-kalupsis... in the underground lakes of Mexico. We had never seen the daylight, never seen life. We were living dead. Then our walls crumble. And it's another Earth. It is “another heaven,” as John of Patmos had seen.

The universal belief of the Apostles that the ultimate fulfilment was extremely near points ...

... Revelation lived, inspired with the certitude of Christ's return within a short time to annihilate the evils of the contemporary world.
