Frequently Asked Questions
What is Misao Zan?
Misao Zan is my autobiographical story, told through the alter ego Misao Zan, which allows me to view my own thoughts, experiences, and transformations more objectively. Through this narrative, I explore the boundaries between ordinary and extraordinary, between scientific observation and deeply personal experience of spiritual phenomena. Just as Castaneda uses don Juan to express deeper truths about the nature of reality, I use Misao Zan to explore the spaces between the empirical and transcendental.
How can I start reading?
You can begin by reading new chapters that are published monthly. The story isn't presented in chronological order - each chapter functions as a standalone piece, but they all fit together into a broader picture of my life journey. This approach allows for deeper exploration of messages and themes, putting essence and meaning ahead of linear event flow. This way, readers can connect the pieces themselves and experience the story in a unique way, discovering different perspectives with each new chapter.
Are the stories linear or interactive?
Misao Zan doesn't follow a classic linear structure. You can read the chapters in the order they're published, or explore them in your own way – each carries its own story, but they all interweave to form a deeper picture. This narrative isn't a path to some predefined truth, but rather a process of exploration, where different choices, perspectives, and experiences open up before the reader. The stories don't seek perfection but rather question, deconstruct, and examine it from multiple angles – as a concept, ideal, burden, or liberation, depending on who's observing and how they experience it.
Is there a community?
Yes! Misao Zan brings together people who share a passion for philosophy, introspective journeys, and narratives that question reality. A platform will be available where we can discuss the book, ideas, and share inspiration. All information about the community and ways to connect will be published on the website as soon as they become active.
How often is new content published?
New chapters will be published monthly, each with its own story, message, and unique insight into the broader whole. Additionally, the content will expand over time through additional sections on the website and various social media posts. Each chapter will be announced through a trailer on the Misao Zan YouTube channel, visually conveying the story's atmosphere and hinting at its symbolism. All information about new publications and future activities will be regularly updated on the website and social media, so readers can follow the development of the story and community.
