Excerpts from Chapter I of "Levels" - Main Level

It was strictly forbidden to ever challenge or even ask a question regarding anything spoken by a Revered One. (Page 9)

The tales of the Ancient Time revealed that Main Level had once received its light from a single massive source and that the overhead had once been blue in color. (Page 11)

"I wonder what happens after cycle eleven. Come to think of it, has anyone ever seen someone who has advanced beyond cycle eleven?" (Page 17)

Three of the Revered Ones were dressed in the traditional brown, hooded robes. However, the one who now stepped forward wore a robe that was as white as the overhead during awake-time. (Page 21)

We did not know where anything came from, how it was made, or how it found its way to Main Level. It never occurred to anyone to ask. (Page 23)

We were unable to travel long in any one direction before the column would encounter one of the countless barriers that form the diverse and complex geography of Main Level. (Page 23)

No one moved. Each appeared to be waiting for someone else to take the first step into Next Level. (Page 28)
