Filito’s world represents man’s primeval world, which has been improved in line with nature and society for millions of years. As such, it forms the basis for understanding all modern worlds as well as the book [psi]. Filito’s world was created to the measure of man, whereas modern worlds reflect relatively short-term changes in human society that are at most a few thousand years old. Compared to the long history of shaping man’s nature, this last period has been very short. Those who really enjoyed reading this story and the findings it unraveled may have felt that it represents a fair society ruled by a complete respect for equality between the three minds; the same as what ruled society before humanity lost its love. Filito’s world represents our true nature, the world we’re truly made for and in which we would have lived happily if the development of modern society hadn’t made the minds fight for power. One of the more important areas this chapter touches on is understanding sexuality and so it’s presented separately, at the end of this explanation.

At first glance, the story may seem to take place in the Stone Age, which represents a sort of watershed between the long period of man’s slow development and modern times, which are characterized by rapid social changes. However, Filito lives in the present, just like all the other characters in the book. The reader, who is used to the perspective of his own world, which also represents the only truth to him, may often find the metaphors in this world misleading. But in order to remind him that this only has to do with the differences in interpreting and understanding our mental worlds, anachronisms (i.e., things typical of the present) occasionally appear in the story.

The story of this world is set in a place where I found myself by coincidence when I was writing this book. Filitosa is a Neolithic archaeological site in Corsica and the main character and his beloved were named after it. Those who visit Filitosa and see the objects displayed in the museum near the site will find all the details described in Filito’s world, except for the blue glaze, which was added in the book.

In the book, Filito’s world plays a special role. It portrays original, pure, and unspoiled human nature, and so it serves as a starting point for all the other worlds because comparing it to other worlds can reveal deviations in society, deviations resulting from the minds’ struggle for power. Because this involves processes several thousand years old, today’s understanding of the world contains several blurry areas—we’re no longer able to determine what our nature is and what of our nature we’ve changed or completely lost by blindly following the ruling minds. The minds’ thousand-year struggle for power in society was and still is ruthless. Each and every mind that managed to come to power in a given period uncompromisingly created mechanisms meant to guarantee his eternal predominance over the other two. The consequences of these mechanisms are blindness, a twisted world view, distorted ideas, changed values, and, last but not least, the stage sets built by those who can’t accept their own worlds. Only by understanding these mechanisms can we obtain insight into our society’s real problems and thus an opportunity for the return of a fair society, which provides for the equality of minds, acceptance of the worlds, and the return of lost love.

The snare Filito gets caught in at the beginning of the story represents the trap that modern society has fallen into. Filito is hanging with his head down, just like the modern world, in which people with their primal nature find themselves, is turned upside down. The young man is short—this indicates that his world is from a time when people were considerably shorter than modern man. His body is muscular and well-proportioned, built for physical activity, which points to the healthy life of hunters in the past and today’s athletes. It’s also clear in the remainder of the story that physical activity represents the basic source of health in any world. Hunting and sports are Emotion’s domains but, because this society is also equally ruled by Instinct and Reason, blue glaze appears in the story. This glaze has at least as much significance for the society as hunting does. Thanks to Reason’s way of thinking, the blue glaze brought an advantage to the camp because it provided a new source of income and thus also a more comfortable life. In Filito’s real world, this part of Reason symbolizes professional sports. Instinct is represented by the group of women who take care of their homes and children.

At the beginning, Filito is not aware of how unique his world is and so at first he’s frightened by the image reflected in Eros’ mirror. But the truth isn’t unacceptable to him—exactly the opposite: he soon starts liking himself. This happens when he begins to trust Eros.

On the way to the camp, Eros and Filito watch the he-women from a distance for a while. This group of women is engaged in hunting, which is a man’s task in the young man’s world. The young man explains to Eros that the hunters and he-women don’t like each other, but he nonetheless shows respect for the women’s hunting group. (In Filito’s world, the he-women are a metaphor for a women’s soccer team from his real life.)

Filito shares a significant detail with Eros connected with Emotion’s role in the development of society. At first, Emotion had an extremely large role because people could get through life only with great difficulty. The technological progress connected with the development of Reason introduced the use of tools and improvements to them, which made human society more effective in its struggle for survival. The need for Reason’s development resulted from relatively poor adaptation to the environment, which began to change faster than the body could be adapted through genetic improvements, which represent a slow and long-lasting form of bodily changes. Precisely this third concept of the mind that originally developed due to the need to connect individual living beings into groups has proven to be the most effective form of adaptation to rapid changes. Reason is the mind that uses logical thinking to allow the environment to adapt to the body, and not the other way round.

In Filito’s world, the development of Reason and more favorable climatic conditions made the work of the male part of society in charge of hunting significantly easier, whereas Emotion made good use of this and took care of his own pleasure and fun more than communal needs. This is also evident from the list of activities men perform during hunting.

In order for the reader to understand man’s primal nature, he must understand well how Filito’s society that represents life in the camp is composed and how it operates. By understanding this, it’s also possible to understand modern personal and social relations because they’re the result of deviations from the original structure for which we’ve been created and that represents our basic nature and life balance.

The camp is socially organized—people are tactful in their relations with others and one can feel that they accept both themselves and others. Precisely because most people accept themselves there’s no greed, envy, or excessive competitiveness in the camp. The food is always divided so that there’s enough for everyone and those who take special credit in hunting even get an extra bonus. People are completely free in the way they think, display emotions, and in their desires. They’re not bothered by the fact that others are different and so they also don’t try to change others and make them think the same way they do. In order for the reader to realize what non-acceptance means to modern society, Filito’s world also includes a few individuals who don’t accept themselves. They represent all the problems affecting our modern world, but because in the story there’s a general acceptance in the primeval world these individuals don’t have any significant influence on life in the camp.

The society is composed of groups shaped by the individual tasks they perform. Most of the men are hunters. What this male group has in common is the fact that it’s ruled by Emotion as its most important mind. Most women are gatherers and mainly stay in the camp, taking care of their homes and children. The most important mind in this group is Instinct. Given that today the distribution of the leading minds in men and women is the same as in that time, it can be concluded that heredity plays an important role in this.

A few men don’t join the hunt. For these men, Emotion isn’t the most important mind. On the other hand, a small group of women are hunters and they too are ruled by Emotion, just like most men. Because men and women don’t share the same leading minds, Emotion’s way of thinking can be considered typically male and Instinct’s typically female. But this type of division into typically female and male thinking is merely tentative because there’s also a small group of both men and women whose leading mind is typical of the opposite sex. Gender itself doesn’t necessarily define our way of thinking, but it’s true that men are more likely to be ruled by Emotion and women by Instinct. We can also use this key to partly justify the claim that men and women differ in the way they think. But it has to be taken into account that this applies only to the majority of cases, and not necessarily to every individual. As the leading mind, Reason is equally represented in both genders and so his way of thinking is equally fair for both sexes.

The majority of men leave the camp to go hunting, and they do this by following the moon. Moonlight also enables them to move at night, which significantly increases the effectiveness of hunting and the size of their hunting ground. This means that during the day they can focus completely on hunting preparations and hunting itself. Alongside this, nature has also made sure that the smaller group of those not joining the hunt doesn’t have any advantages in impregnating the women in the camp during the hunt, while most men are away from home. These men are barely interested in women because they don’t want to have more children than the hunters, who spend half their time away hunting. How this is regulated will be explained below.

Judging from Filito’s description of the he-women, we can see that Emotion is connected with the functioning of male sex hormones. An important detail connected with the he-women is also the fact that this group of women receives the same amount of respect in the camp as anyone else. Today the word “he-woman” is derogatory, whereas in Filito’s world it only denotes a group of women ruled by the same mind as most men. However, a careful reader will notice a small detail here, typical of modern society: the he-women aren’t happy with their status in the camp. They’re convinced men have it easier than women. And this proves to be true in a society that, thanks to technological progress, is becoming increasingly less dependent on the effectiveness of hunting. Women fighting for the equality of women are just fighting to do away with the differences that have remained since Emotion dominated society.

What’s interesting is that these women are ruled by exactly this—typically male—mind. The women’s rights movement thus takes place primarily because of Emotion, who can by no means prosper equally in a woman’s body in the world of unfair male Emotions, especially if they don’t accept themselves. This causes women with Emotion’s character not to accept themselves either. REI thus shows how unfair society is to some of its members and at the same time it explains why it comes to this. [psi] advocates the diversity, but also equality, of all living beings.

Men increasingly substitute their lack of need to hunt with other activities, predominantly entertainment and various sports, which have developed from hunters’ training and martial arts.

In the primeval society, relationships between people are based on coordinating interests, needs, and desires. When conflicts occur, people let the leader decide on justice; in this story, this leader is described as a king. His basic task is to judge fairly between the interests and values of all three minds and maintain the balance between the values of all the minds. As long as this balance remains, general acceptance can rule in the camp, which is also the key to true love.

King Aragen is a reasonable camp leader and he’s also been entrusted with the task of conferring rights. He enjoys trust and respect in the camp. Even though he’s called a king in the story, his role doesn’t mean the same as today. Aragen is the first among equals—he lives among the people in the camp and spends time with everyone; the same rules apply to him as for others and he doesn’t have any considerable property. His role must be taken more as the role of a parent, wise man, and judge, rather than a king in the modern sense of the word. Aragen’s power is based exclusively on a consensus of all the people in the camp and he never has to defend his power with violence or force. In the story, Eros doesn’t realize whom he has really encountered in the image of this king. Aragen is none other than Eros himself, it’s just that this is Filito’s conception of Eros. This shows how different our worlds are and that we don’t even recognize ourselves in someone else’s world. Filito’s image of Eros seems to be moved to the distant past, but one can nonetheless decipher that it doesn’t even originate from the time this book was created, but from a time much later than that, which isn’t a coincidence.

In the young man’s world, people believe that selecting a life partner is a matter of Coincidence. This is what Life, which manages coincidences, is called here. Whenever the young man talks about it, Coincidence is capitalized, and when Eros talks about coincidence it isn’t capitalized. When Eros finally understands the meaning of Coincidence, the word is capitalized in this case too.

Filito explains to Eros that people often imagine that the happiness we’re so drawn to is also meant for us. But Life only affords it to us when we’ve gone through the school of life and are prepared for it. The same is true with selecting the right partner.

A luxurious dinner is held in honor of the guest, Eros, and everyone except Parthen the medicine man takes part in it. In the young man’s world, Parthen represents a person who doesn’t accept himself and has ill intentions. Parthen is ruled by Instinct and Reason, and because he doesn’t accept himself he’s plagued by envy and greed. And because he judges the newcomer according to his own world, he also doesn’t trust him and is convinced that he has ill intentions. Accustomed to manipulating the people in the camp, he also doesn’t like Eros because he’s from another world, from where he’s also brought the mirror—an unusual plate that enthralls all the people in the camp. To Parthen, this plate is nothing but a manipulation tool, just like the Moon rock that he uses. He refuses to join the dinner out of protest.

Even though Parthen has several undesirable characteristics, among which the desire to have sex with sexually immature children stands out, people in the camp respect and accept him just the way he is. Because of these characteristics, the medicine man isn’t expelled from society and nobody makes fun of him, talks behind his back, or shows him disrespect in any other way. On the other hand, this is precisely what enables him not to fulfill his unacceptable desire despite the fact he doesn’t accept himself. And this is precisely what others regard as the limit he mustn’t cross—if he did, they’d banish him immediately.

Unlike Parthen, other people in the camp seem to accept one another deeply, which means they’re very tolerant and thoughtful toward one another, and they always easily find a middle way in their relations. Filito’s world also knows envy, greed, and greater competitiveness, but these characteristics are completely unpronounced in these people. A society that accepts itself is characterized by very few interpersonal tensions and unresolved relations. People also don’t spend much time dealing with other people’s problems; they aren’t bothered by things that other people do, and they don’t blame anyone for thinking differently or judge them for being different. The mutual respect between the worlds means we’re seeking the kind of path that enables anyone to be what they are. This means that we ourselves adapt to others to the best of our abilities, that we don’t just seek our own rights, and don’t just think about where, when, and how much we’ve been deprived by someone else. In this spirit, Filito’s tribe also adapts to the medicine man’s world—for example, children don’t play near the temple in order not to arouse his lust.

All of this maintains balance in the camp’s life despite the opposing values and differences in the way the three minds think.

The ritual that’s performed for the guest in the camp hides special symbolism. This gives the reader a hint that even rituals that are passed from one generation to another in simple societies convey important messages that are being preserved in this very way. Anyone who has studied the REI theory and understands it will recognize a deeper meaning in many of these rituals because these unusual ancient rituals often convey knowledge from the time when it got lost due to the arrival of modern civilization.

True love can be recognized in the relationship between King Aragen and Queen Sarkene. King Aragen places the mirror between himself and his queen, so they can look at each other at the same time. Their worlds are joined into one and so the mirror reflects their joint world. The king and queen are regarded as a model of perfection in the camp.

The camp represents the world of primeval society, but nonetheless people in this society are much more familiar with how Life works and with the laws of nature than we are today. Their knowledge in the sense of modern science is poor, but their understanding of Life expressed in the form of metaphors is much more refined than ours is today. They understand the mechanism through which Life directs every individual and the society down to the very last detail—the mechanism of coincidences that aren’t coincidental. This understanding was given to society in the distant past and always at times when the society found itself in a tight corner, fighting for survival. Knowledge was revealed to individuals who could understand it and knew how to convert it into stories, metaphors, and habits comprehensible to the common people. But in a society that isn’t directly threatened this understanding is becoming increasingly distant and intangible. Life knows that people and society can’t develop under its leadership, but they develop by learning, reaching realizations, and adapting to the environment. And therefore it leaves all our decisions—both good and bad—to our free will. This mechanism reminds us of children being brought up by wise parents who let the child learn from his mistakes and discover and get to know all sides of life, and only interfere when he gets himself into life-threatening situations by directing him away from the threat through minimal intervention. Children whose parents think, decide, and plan their life path in their stead are never quite ready for life, don’t find happiness, and usually aren’t able to live independently.

Anyone who doesn’t understand and respect the nature of Life tries to shape the lives of others according to his idea; of course, in a way that enables him to be better off than others. In order to do this, it’s most convenient to use the mechanisms of Life and interpret them according to one’s own idea, to the benefit of one’s own goals. To this end, the medicine man convinced the people in the camp to believe in the supernatural power of the Moon rock, and this gradually also brought him advantages and personal gains. It must be stressed that Life also interferes with this and leaves these types of beliefs to every individual’s free will because everyone must reach realization about the truth by themselves. Of course, those who use this to their advantage can’t avoid the school of life. They get to know the burden of their acts already in this life and, if this doesn’t suffice, in the next life they find themselves in a role in which they suffer all the consequences of what they once carelessly caused others through their acts. Unaware that after the body dies we all become one, they end up in exactly the opposite role in their new life.

In this story, Parthen represents the origin of all beliefs, from which entire religions also developed later on. However, this mustn’t be equated with the medicine man’s way of thinking because he, unlike later promulgators of various beliefs, is well aware of his manipulation. This is evident from several details, primarily his fear of the stranger, the desire to destroy him and banish him from the camp, and his fear of revealing the truth about the Moon rock. And even though Parthen would be ready to immediately stab Eros in the back, Eros doesn’t reveal his lie. So far, Eros has learned that he can’t interfere with the school of life. Unlike the medicine man, he understands Life well and knows when things have to be left to coincidences. However, the medicine man isn’t aware that banishing Eros from the camp wouldn’t change a single thing and that, if he were responsible for it, his school of life would teach him a good lesson because of the injustice he caused. And it wouldn’t help him one bit if he did this in the good faith of protecting others against misfortune because, if he truly believed in the power of the Moon rock, he’d also have to leave this to the power of this rock and coincidence.

That the Moon rock is actually a meteorite is revealed by the legend of its discovery that Aragen tells Eros. Filitosa lies on an island and its first inhabitants reached it on foot. This happened during the last ice age when the sea froze, and they moved increasingly further south due to the lack of food. Because the path into the unknown was long and exhausting and their food was running out, they were desperate. The meteorite they found in the ice was the first thing they saw after a long time on the frozen sea. It returned their hope and gave them new strength, so they could continue their journey, which ultimately brought them to an island teeming with life because many animals had also fled from the freezing temperatures on the mainland and taken refuge on the island.

The story of Aragen and Asari is the other side of the story about Eros and Lana, but it’s a bit different in this world, just like any truth is always a bit different in any other world.

The legend about the invention of pottery that people in the camp pass from one generation to the next hasn’t been part of any oral tradition or written record known to date. Its lesson is that Life uses coincidences to help those who are treated unfairly. And so it may happen that anyone at all, even someone who’s laughed at for being stupid, can make the most important discovery.

The dispute between Sard and Filito is resolved publicly. This not only provides greater clarity regarding the dispute and the final judgment, but also a lesson for others. Only in this way can everyone learn what’s right and wrong from this example, and how they should act if they find themselves in similar circumstances. The dispute is adjudicated by King Aragen, whom the majority of people trust. Each side presents its vision of truth and defends itself alone. This is how it’s possible to solve any dispute without go-betweens and advisors, regardless of how complicated it is. Aragen unravels the truth from both stories and presents it to everyone present. His judgment shows that both sides can be blamed for the dispute and that the injustice suffered by Filito must be viewed from a broader perspective because he also didn’t do everything he could to prevent it. The sentences imposed are educational and socially useful, and the worst punishment is exile from the camp. This is only imposed when the acts of an individual threaten or bother others to the extent that it’s no longer acceptable for this individual to live in the camp. This punishment is extremely severe—in those days, an exiled person could survive on his own only with great difficulty and other camps rarely accepted strangers—only when they had a special reason to do so. And these foreigners had to adapt a great deal and in many ways even subordinate themselves to the new environment.

A society that understands Life and the importance of the school of life is aware that nobody can escape justice, regardless of the sentence imposed. Because every sentence is imposed due to irregularities in the individual’s way of thinking and his acts towards someone else, this other person has every right to either confirm or dismiss the sentence. Forgiveness is an act of nobility and understanding Life, and only people who accept themselves are capable of forgiving. This is also evident from the adjudication of the dispute between Sard and Filito: Sard, who doesn’t accept himself, demands a punishment for Filito, whereas Filito forgives Sard, thereby sparing him from being punished.

The camp has made all the preparations to initiate the young men into the hunters’ group. Only Emotion is capable of passing the required tests. The tasks also include walking across the coals, which represents a victory of Emotion over Instinct. This is a very difficult test for those ruled by Instinct and much easier for those ruled by Emotion. This way only those ruled by Emotion end up in the group of hunters.

A careful reader will again notice that Filito’s world is nothing but the modern world viewed from a primeval perspective. Here is where the written word appears in the story, which doesn’t correspond to life in primeval society.

Parthen the medicine man doesn’t see the truth and doesn’t respect Life, but he has a great deal of knowledge, which enables him to mislead other, gullible people in the camp. He’s convinced that Eros is also merely a skillful liar. King Aragen notices Parthen’s negative attitude towards Eros. Even though it’s clear to him how much truth really hides behind the Moon rock that Parthen keeps referring to, he suggests to Parthen that he now test the power of the coincidence that the rock is supposed to convey to him. Eros’ knowledge also exceeds the knowledge of the people living in the camp, but he doesn’t use it to mislead them.

Parthen decides to use his cunning to fool others and so he incorporates a ritual that will bring him personal gains into the Moon rock’s alleged answer to the question of what the best way would be for him to lose weight. If he had managed to fool people again, from then on everyone who wanted to receive the wisdom of the Moon rock would have had to show it respect by climbing the stairs of the temple on their knees. Aragen keeps teasing the medicine man because of this, but his only purpose is to encourage him to do something about his obese and unhealthy body. His relationship to the medicine man can’t even be spoiled by Parthen’s dishonorable intentions because he knows every man must reach his truth about Life on his own.

The group of hunters goes on the hunt. In this part of the story, readers who still don’t understand the importance of metaphors connected with worlds can finally see how he must understand this book. Filito also lives in the present, modern world and deals with modern civilization in his life and with the same things and problems as every reader today. However, even though we all see the same things, everyone sees them completely differently in his own world. Every one of us ascribes a completely different meaning to everything than others, we have different relationships to the same things, and we each see the connections between them in our own special way.

Filito’s world is also characterized by all the inventions of modern civilization, but they’re so unimportant to him that the reader barely notices them. For him, everything revolves around the hunt, which is a metaphor for soccer, which is what he really engages with and also how he earns his living. The eleven hunters he selects represent eleven soccer players and the wild boar is a metaphor for the soccer ball.

This is how something that seems completely insignificant in a given world can become the central point of everything that’s happening and also a means of survival in another world; that is, Filito’s. The reader may find this strange and hard to imagine but, then again, anyone who entered the reader’s mental world would also be surprised by it. Everything you see, understand, and feel in your own world can be different and completely unknown to someone else. So things that are normal and commonplace for one person can be completely alien and even unacceptable to someone else. The proof that this is really true was already presented in the third world—in Heracles’ fortress, whose interior and meaning not even two out of a thousand would describe the same because everyone always sees a piece of their world in it and thus they always describe their own world.

Understanding the unimaginable differences between our worlds is important for accepting ourselves and others. Only those who see that everyone ascribes his own special meaning—which differs from that of others—to everything in their own world can free themselves in their own world. This realization can represent the beginning of learning about the differences between worlds and the end of subordinating one’s own world to others as well as the end of the unstoppable need to change others according to your own world.

This way the reader can realize here that [psi] is not an imaginary fairytale, but the naked truth of Life, which in its essence is so accurate and perfect that one can hardly get any closer to the truth.

Eros accepts the challenge—to solve the mystery of Parthen’s unhealthy obesity. The solution to this riddle also contains one of the seven proofs of Life—an answer to a yet unresolved anthropological question. In addition, this part of the book also contains a metaphor that reveals why Life has chosen Eros in particular and revealed the proofs of its existence to him. The reason is the purity of his thoughts depicted in the construction of the dam that he undertakes while thinking about how to resolve the riddle posed.

While the medicine man is dieting completely on purpose, he deceives people and creates a ritual to bring him personal gains. If Life truly placed even a little bit of truth in his hands, Parthen would misuse this without hesitation to assume power in the camp and thus win himself a position, power, and influence forever. He’d start defining people’s fate and he’d soon get the idea that he himself was the emissary of Coincidence on Earth.

Eros is also capable of thinking and he could also create rituals to achieve his own goals. But the creek he dams doesn’t turn into the Ganges River, which can wash away all men’s sins, but stays exactly what it really is—a dammed creek, which benefits people who bathe in it and gives them joy. Eros made the dam only to distract his thoughts. And this simplicity is exactly where the great wisdom of Life hides.

Eros starts exploring the connection between the people’s eating habits and obesity. His analysis—rearranging the boards—undermines, one after the other, the false ideas about obesity that are firmly entrenched in people like truths. One of the most frequent errors is the belief that we can only regulate our weight with the amount of food we eat. No less frequent is the error that we can neutralize the excessive energy we’ve received by eating too much food through adequate physical activity. Eating various types of food and even heredity prove to be an insufficient reason for obesity.

It’s the high waters in the fall, with water spilling over the dam, that direct Eros to making a yet undiscovered connection between the ice ages and eternal summers, and the accumulation of fat in people. The fifth proof of Life is thus not the effectiveness of the separating diet, which has been known to humanity for a while, but the anthropological explanation of how our body adapted to special conditions in nature. Even though this is a simple basic explanation, it provides us a much deeper and accurate insight into our eating habits and related problems. Only by understanding this anthropological connection it is possible to substantiate a new perspective on a healthy diet.

Taking into account the seasons and the rules about the suitability and unsuitability of parallel consumption of specific foods, which can be divided into three groups, as simple as that, and drinking water can do away with numerous false ideas about what a healthy diet natural to our body should look like. You can read more about this in the section about the seven proofs of Life.

The medicine man doesn’t want Eros to help him, but he isn’t aware that he himself has a false idea about what’s causing his obesity. To undermine Eros’ credibility, he overeats on the food Eros brings to him every day. Parthen isn’t aware of the discovery Eros has made and doesn’t see the key to his sudden weight loss despite the enormous amounts of food he eats. Readers can also test this key in practice, although I advise you against overeating, simply because you won’t feel well if you do it. It must be taken into account that the medicine man had a special motive for doing this, and the reader probably doesn’t.

Understanding the anthropological origin of obesity represents one of the seven proofs of Life. Yet Filito’s story reveals another equally important part related to social relations. This is sexuality. Understanding this area is based on the REI theory, which is the first proof of Life, and is presented separately below.
