Bernibus understood my meaning, and though he disagreed with its theoretical imputations, he humored me and did as I suggested. He pulled back his brow in a reflective demeanor, brought his eyes to mine and began: "You desire me to tell you about myself without literally telling you of myself. BONAMUS UNDERSTOOD MY MEANING AND THOUGH HE DISAGREED WITH ITS THEORETICAL IMPUTATIONS HE HUMOURED ME AND DID AS I SUGGESTED HE PULLED BACK HIS BROW IN A REFLECTIVE DEMEANOUR POURED HIS EYES TO MINE AND BEGAN YOU DESIRE ME TO TELL YOU ABOUT MYSELF WITHOUT LITERALLY TELLING YOU OF MYSELF
s. But what I mean is this: your past has influenced your present, yet it is gone and your present remains, show me Bernibus, not his previous forms." You, who are now reading this, may think this statement of mine to Bernibus to be hypocritical, in light of the very purpose and intent of these memoirs. You may be thinking that I am relating this whole happening in order to justify my actions and decisions. But that is not the case, for I understand that you have no power over me, I have long been dead in your present and your sentiments mean naught to me. In fact, I wish to tell of the circumstances I found myself in as much as of myself, so that you may have a retrospective clarity in visions of the future. You will understand that statement later on, but for now let me say that I wished to know the essence, the person, the consciousness of Bernibus, whereas I wish to impart to you my story, though ere its end you may come also to know me. I have no ambitions of material immortality. ERSONALITY AND ACHIEVEMENTS BUT WHAT I MEAN IS THIS YOUR PAST HAS INFLUENCED YOUR PRESENT YET IT IS GONE AND YOUR PRESENT REMAINS SHOW ME BONABAS NOT HIS PREVIOUS FORMS YOU WHO ARE NOW READING THIS MAY THINK THAT STATEMENT OF MINE TO BONABUS TO BE HYPOCRITICAL IN LIGHT OF THE VERY PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THESE MEMOIRS YOU MAY BE THINKING THAT I AM RELATING THIS WHOLE HAPPENING IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY MY ACTIONS AND DECISIONS BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE FOR I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME I HAVE LONG BEEN DEAD IN YOUR PRESENT AND YOUR SENTIMENTS MEAN NAUGHT TO ME IN FACT I WISH TO TELL YOU OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES I FOUND MYSELF IN AS MUCH AS OF MYSELF SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE A RETROSPECTIVE CLARITY IN VISIONS OF THE FUTURE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT STATEMENT LATER ON BUT FOR NOW LET ME SAY THAT I WISH TO KNOW THE ESSENCE THE PERSON THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF BONABUS WHEREAS I WISH TO IMPART TO YOU MY STORY THOUGH ERE ITS END YOU MAY COME ALSO TO KNOW ME I HAVE NO AMBITIONS OF MATERIAL IMMORTALITY
