Diary of a Madman

Ange l de Quatière’s new book was written by someone else. It is a real diary of a real madman—a young man who carried within him the fourth Tablet of the Covenant. He is ill with schizophrenia and wants to destroy the world. He tells us about this from the very beginning, on the first page of his diary.

Then we become witnesses to the madness unfolding before our very eyes… But how does it happen that this confession gradually becomes an experience of spiritual participation?

He was searching for the truth without understanding where reality is and where the product of his inflamed imagination is. He flew toward the flame simply because there was no other path for him. And behind his delirium, at times, there turned out to be much more common sense and truth than in the numerous “sound arguments” of today’s rulers of thought. How can one see the truth if you have been betrayed and your consciousness falls apart into shards of madness? You must have a pure heart. Are you looking for a person? So—who are you running from?
