Water is the element that rules over the subconscious and emotional realms and I am surrounded by water. Twice now I've watched the sun set over the waves of the Pacific. Its light shimmers soft on the azure blue creating a trail along the vastness. A gateway perhaps, into the deepest realms of the soul.

What is this emotion within me?

What am I standing at the edge of?

I don't know how quite to explain it, but I feel as though I am close to something very very big. I feel as though I have been waiting for this my entire life. On a dark night in February of this past spring, the universe poured into me. It was as if God slipped into my being and showed me the entirety of all that is and all that will be. I saw humanity's suffering and the great change that is about to come. Tears poured down my face as I kneeled on the floor, my mother beside me. In that moment, I felt humanity's pain because it was my pain. It was the pain none of us let ourselves feel; the pain of passing by a soul on the street and not acknowledging each other's existence. The pain of feeling the the suffering on continents far away. We may not be conscious of it, but I know we feel it.

The world needs to change. The world must change.

In every moment we are all given a choice, a choice between life and oblivion. For all of the history that we remember, we could not decide. From authoratarianism, to war, to famine, to disease to violence to television to addiction to consumerism - an endless obsession with ways to fill our lives with meaning devoid of meaning.

But the time of hiding is over. The universe will no longer allow us to ignore the beauty of our true selves. The power of those once in control wanes. The old world fades away.

Come with me on this journey. Help me return to paradise.
