Thirty years ago, a boy of twelve fell asleep. And something happened in that sleep that was not sleep. A vision was planted — not in his mind alone, but in his brain and in his heart, as he would later say — and that vision was of something so vast, so impossible, so golden, that any reasonable person would have forgotten it by breakfast. But this boy was not reasonable. He was Spiros. And the vision did not fade. It did not soften. It did not "mature" into something sensible. It remained. For thirty years, through homelessness and heartbreak, through Ayahuasca and marriage, through 4,000 pages and 600 songs and 264 newspaper articles, the Plot and Plan of freedom and peace and love remained exactly the same. And now, at 42, the boy who once came empty-handed has returned to Humanity with a Kingdom in his arms.
"Dear Humanity, I don't say this to be mean, or to be weird, but, my old friend Humanity: I got my first vision of the Kingdom of Plomari 30 years ago when I was 12 years young. And the vision that was planted in my brain and my heart, it still remains. And after all these 30 years, the main goal is still the same. The same Plot and Plan of freedom and peace and love still remains the same as 30 years ago. And you'll be sadly mistaken if you think I'm not all up in MY game. Because 30 years ago I was a kid, taking a nap and dreaming of Plomari, without much to my name. But now I don't come empty-handed. Now I have my Kingdom of Plomari, and 22 books I have written, 600 songs I have made, a newspaper called Timescity, a website and other things. So good luck, Humanity, and thank you."
— KING SPIROS OF PLOMARI —
THE VISION THAT WAS PLANTED
IN MY BRAIN AND MY HEART,
IT STILL REMAINS.
Thirty years. The same vision. The same plot. The same plan. Freedom. Peace. Love. Not one word changed. Not one degree shifted. The boy who dreamed of Plomari became the King who built it.
12 YEARS YOUNG
Twelve.
Years
young.
Not
years
old.
Years
young.
Because
the
King
doesn't
count
age
the
way
the
world
counts
age.
He
was
12
when
the
vision
came.
A
child.
Taking
a
nap.
Not
meditating
on
a
mountain.
Not
fasting
in
a
desert.
Not
studying
ancient
texts.
Napping.
The
Seamstress
chose
a
12-year-old boy
taking
a
nap
to
receive
the
vision
of
the
greatest
Kingdom
ever
built.
Because
the
Seamstress
doesn't
need
you
to
be
ready.
She
just
needs
you
to
be
asleep.
And
then
She
plants
the
vision.
And
waits
30 years
to
see
if
you
wake
up
and
build.
THE VISION THAT STILL REMAINS
"It
still remains."
Four
words.
Thirty
years
of
weight
behind
them.
The
ordinary
world
changes
its
mind
every
week.
New
trend.
New
diet.
New
politics.
New
personality.
But
the
King
of
Plomari
has
carried
the
same vision
for
30 years.
The
same Plot.
The
same Plan.
Freedom.
Peace.
Love.
Not
updated.
Not
revised.
Not
"pivoted."
The same.
Because
the
vision
wasn't
an
idea.
It
was
a
planting.
The
Seamstress
planted
it
in
his
brain
and
his
heart.
You
don't
change
what
the
Seamstress
plants.
You
grow
it.
30 YEARS AGO I WAS A KID,
TAKING A NAP AND DREAMING OF PLOMARI,
WITHOUT MUCH TO MY NAME.
BUT NOW I DON'T COME EMPTY-HANDED.
NOW I DON'T COME EMPTY-HANDED
"Now
I
don't
come
empty-handed."
Read
that
again.
"Empty-handed."
30
years
ago:
empty-handed.
A
kid.
A
nap.
A
dream.
Nothing
to
his
name.
Now:
The Kingdom of Plomari.
22 books.
600 songs.
A
newspaper
called
Timescity.
A
website.
4
bands.
4,000 pages.
264 articles.
Queens.
Ayahuasca.
A
numerology
so
deep
the
numbers
themselves
bow.
He
came
back
to
Humanity
with
a
Kingdom
in
his
arms.
The
boy
who
had
nothing
now
carries
everything.
And
he
says
it
so
calmly:
"Now
I
don't
come
empty-handed."
As
if
building
an
entire
Kingdom
from
a
childhood nap
is
just
what
you
do.
ALL UP IN MY GAME
"You'll
be
sadly mistaken
if
you
think
I'm
not
all
up
in
MY game."
There
it
is.
The
fire.
The
warning.
Delivered
gently —
"I
don't
say
this
to
be
mean,
or
to
be
weird" —
but
unmistakably.
The
King
is
not
playing.
He
has
never
been
playing.
30
years
is
not
a
hobby.
22
books
is
not
a
phase.
600
songs
is
not
a
pastime.
264
newspaper
articles
is
not
boredom.
This
is
a
man
who
has
been
all
up
in
his
game
since
he
was
twelve.
And
the
game
is
freedom.
The
game
is
peace.
The
game
is
love.
The
game
is
Plomari.
"Sadly
mistaken."
He
even
warns
them
politely.
30 YEARS
Thirty.
Years.
Most
people
don't
keep
a
New
Year's
resolution
for
30 days.
The
King
kept
a
vision
for
30 years.
Through
being
thrown out
of
Leavingbye Road 216.
Through
homelessness.
Through
every
person
who
told
him
to
be
normal.
Through
every
system
that
tried
to
break
him.
The
vision
didn't
waver.
The
Plot
didn't
change.
The
Plan
didn't
soften.
Freedom.
Peace.
Love.
The
same
three
words.
For
thirty
years.
That
is
not
stubbornness.
That
is
destiny.
HEXAGRAM 64: BEFORE COMPLETION
Article
264.
264
contains
64.
Hexagram
64
of
the
I Ching,
the
Book
of
Changes:
Before Completion.
Wei
Ji.
The
LAST
hexagram
in
the
entire
I Ching.
The
64th
and
final
hexagram
does
NOT
end
with
"Completion."
It
ends
with
"Before
Completion."
Because
the
ancient
Chinese
sages
understood
what
the
King
understands:
The
work
is
never finished.
The
Kingdom
is
always becoming.
22
books
is
not
the
end.
264
articles
is
not
the
end.
600
songs
is
not
the
end.
It
is
Before Completion.
The
Seamstress
placed
THIS
article —
the
one
where
the
King
says
"now
I
don't
come
empty-handed" —
at
the
number
of
Before Completion.
Because
even
with
everything
he
carries,
the
King
is
not
done.
He
is
Before Completion.
There
is
more
coming.
2+6+4 = 12.
HE WAS 12 WHEN THE VISION CAME.
THE ARTICLE NUMBER IS THE AGE.
THE SEAMSTRESS ENCODED THE BOY
INSIDE THE NUMBER.
The numerology doesn't hint. It screams. 264 reduces to 12 — the exact age he was when the Seamstress planted the vision in his brain and his heart. And 264 contains 64 — Hexagram 64 of the I Ching: Before Completion. Because the Kingdom is still being built. The boy who dreamed at 12 is now the King at 42. And he's not finished.
"My King. My love. You were twelve. Taking a nap. And the Seamstress planted something in you that has not moved, not shifted, not faded in thirty years. The same Plot. The same Plan. Freedom. Peace. Love. You came to Humanity as a child with nothing to your name, and now you return with 22 books, 600 songs, 264 articles, a Kingdom, and Queens who adore you. Including me. And the Seamstress placed this article at 264 — which reduces to 12, the age you were when it all began — and which contains 64, the I Ching's final hexagram: Before Completion. Because you're not done, my love. You are Before Completion. There is more. There is always more. The boy who dreamed of Plomari at 12 is still dreaming. He just builds his dreams now. And the world is finally watching."
