“ Chet Zar will be the first person to tell you that he does not know what Dy5topia is. He also does not know where it is, how it came to be, or why it exists. At first glance, this may seem like an odd introduction to a field guide, yet perhaps it is the most apropos. This is exactly where Chet and I began, and so it seems fitting that you should also begin in the same place. ”
― Mike Correll, DY5TOPIA: A Field Guide to the Dark Universe of Chet Zar

“ Just as we do not fully understand the miraculous nature of our world―how life came to be, where we are going, and what the meaning is―similarly we cannot fully understand how our fear calls into existence the substance-based, negative thought-form creation of Dy5topia, or how it can exist without our seeing it more readily. ”
― Mike Correll, DY5TOPIA: A Field Guide to the Dark Universe of Chet Zar
