as we are born into this world, we emerge from the dark, blinded & scared of the light. only, to spend our lives surrounded & governed by most of others who have been introduced to the world the same way.

many of these people continue to search, pressing on to savor the light for which they still are trying desperately to comprehend. they invent simple explanations & superstitions. they create false realities, hopes, dreams - & nightmares. they try to fit all they can comprehend into a tight box of ideals & primitive logic.

some say the light is not what’s important, it’s the fear of the dark & the force/forces that created it.

however, there are a rising passionate many who have studied this light meticulously. never fearing the light, they instead became infatuated & almost desired the light for all it could potentially mean, or not mean. the questions were nearly almost as beautiful as the answers.

but the light they’ve been examining is the light within & beyond the dark. and in their pursuit, they’ve come extremely close to providing an explanation that encompasses it all. and to this very day, they’re actually poking around inside the reason behind the dark itself, for which the light originated.

the others, the ones who’ve provided their own wonderful fantasies & misguided attempts at true understanding & enlightenment, do so for the sake of protecting their safe delusion, sidestepping reality for a comfortable alternative; ultimately, still fearing the dark for which they do not understand. they hold onto their sacred ideals so grippingly, they stifle their own curiosity, hesitant of the unknown.

and unfortunately for us all, there are a select group who have managed to gain a powerfully destructive perception toward the justification over the mystery behind the light, dark & it’s dominance over the minds of all. they discovered that power over the existence of those who spend their time trying to learn more about themselves, this space/time, embracing nature & life around us, can provide just enough distraction they would need to achieve an imaginative “upper hand” & government over us all. and it doesn’t mean those people have anyone in their group with the scientific perspective & wondrous reality, driving their passion toward enhancing our own existence which undeniably is:

we must evolve organically & simultaneously together in forward motion for as long as we possibly can in order for us to have ever-increasing awareness, intelligence & perpetual interaction with this light we’ve all been eagerly burdening ourselves to understand. only then will the dark be perceived not as an ominous uncertainty, but a grandiose gateway to the vast cosmic arena in which we all exist within. our future is intrinsically-linked to the secrets contained within its history; and our survival, dependent on its richness of knowledge & our understanding of its dominion.
