There are moments when an event is not simply an event.It marks a transition.
Such a moment took place in the transformed space of Central Hotel, where a Bulgarian literary project with global reach was presented before an international audience of around 150 guests.
But the true center of the evening was not only the project itself.
It was the announcement of a new international award for philosophical literature — an initiative aimed at defining a new field for authors working beyond the traditional boundaries of genre and form.
🏅 INTERNATIONAL AWARD FOR PHILOSOPHICAL LITERATURE
The award is created with a clear purpose — to recognize works that carry conceptual depth, originality, and a transformative approach to understanding the human condition, consciousness, and reality.
It is not oriented toward mainstream literature.It seeks authors who build ideas.
The award will be presented in the following categories:
Philosophical Treatise
Metaphysical Novel
Philosophical Prose
Video Book (Video Book format)
Youth Category
The award is open to authors working at the intersection of literature, philosophy, and consciousness — those who create not just narratives, but systems of meaning.
The first official ceremony will take place in December 2026 in Razgrad, Bulgaria.
VSBN Standard — A New Model for Content
Alongside the award, the VSBN (Video & Book Narrative Standard) was introduced.
This model integrates text, video, and philosophical narrative into a unified structure — not as an adaptation, but as an original form.
VSBN establishes a new type of content — one that is not consumed linearly, but experienced as a multidimensional system.
An Event Beyond the Traditional Format
The event itself reflected this vision.
Rather than a conventional book presentation, the space was transformed into a multisensory environment where multiple elements coexisted:
video narrative
spatial sound
stage effects
interactive visual design
Through a configuration of four video displays, the audience entered a space where literature was not presented — it was experienced physically and emotionally.
Within this environment, the author Melina Orea
— revealed her work not as separate titles, but as a unified conceptual system.
Video Book — A New Format
At the core of this approach stands the Video Book format.
Developed and officially registered as a trademark, it represents a synthesis of literature, audiovisual narrative, and conceptual structure.
The Video Book is not a digital version of a book.It is a new way of creating one.
A Project with Global Scope
The project brings together a series of interconnected works:
“If You Are Chosen to Survive” (five volumes):Transformation, The Secret of the Holy Grail, Awareness, Quantum Code of Essence, The Scroll of Infinity
“The Zero Genesis”
“The Eden Protocol”
“The Blood Seal”
“The Architect of Error”
“Code: Transformation”
“Code: Alhivia”
“Code: The Zero Genesis”
The works unfold across three interconnected directions:
narrative philosophical treatise
metaphysical novel
contemporary philosophical prose with broad accessibility
Currently, the works are translated into 29 languages and are available in audio, digital, and print formats (paperback and hardcover).
They are distributed globally through platforms such as Storytel, Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, Ingram, and Smashwords, as well as through a network of over 40,000 online bookstores worldwide.
Print editions are produced and distributed through printing centers in the United States, ensuring global availability.
The English edition has reached #36 in an Amazon sales ranking — an indicator of growing international interest.
International Presence and Recognition
The project is currently participating in established international competitions for independent literature:
Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY), USA
National Indie Excellence Awards (NIEA), USA
Literary Global Book Awards, USA
Rubery Book Award, United Kingdom
These entries position the work within the global literary conversation.
The Philosophical Foundation
At the center of the project stands the philosophical system Neo-Essential Integralism.
It presents a different perspective — one in which the human being is not a passive observer, but an active creator of reality.
This framework unites scientific, metaphysical, and existential thought into a cohesive system and proposes a new model of awareness and responsibility.
The Foundation: Transformation of Essence
As a natural extension of this philosophy, the Transformation of Essence Foundation was established.
Its mission is to develop and expand these ideas globally through education, culture, and international collaboration.
Shared Creation and Support
The event also included a charity auction of a special edition of The Eden Protocol, along with a limited book release.
Funds raised (1,000 EUR) will support the award fund.
But beyond the numbers, what mattered most was the shared presence.
Gratitude to all guests, partners, contributors, and the team behind the event.
Special thanks to the donors whose support gave tangible value to this initiative.
This was not just an event.It was a collectively created space.
The Message
"One woman changed the world with love… and became an enemy of the gods because she dared to remind humanity that it is the Creator itself."
This is not simply a literary project.
It is a system.
And an invitation —to a new way of thinking,a new way of perceiving,and a new role of the human being in the world.
