She asks us to let go of the stories that belong to the past and open ourselves up to a brighter and more hopeful future... If not for ourselves, then for the children of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExcerpt from Preface: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA meandering waltz through time and space, we begin to pick apart what it means to be human. We dissect and decode the ways in which we are programmed to present as this individual self and are asked to embrace the notion of change. In ignorance we dwell no longer, as we learn to harness the Revolution of Knowledge that we find ourselves experiencing as a species. If new and different call you forth into the unknown, then I invite you to join me in untangling yourself from the world, as it seems timely for the human collective to slowly begin defining exactly what it is that we are, and to start admitting more to the truth of ourselves. It is time for a wake-up call and what better alarm bell to ring than that of reality?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur species is made up of stories, we are defined as well as contained by them, and somewhat scared of letting them go. Our identities are entangled by what we think we know, so really, what we are scared of is a loss of our egoic selves, not the silly and often harmful stories that we cling to. Herein, we slowly uncover the truth of who you are and who there is still a chance to become. I do not talk here about improving yourself, much better to accept yourself and embrace the full, whole and colourful human that you were born to be. We must stop living in fear of our own humanness, we must stop smothering the truth of ourselves in shame and denial if we are to move forwards as a humanity. We are all a bit fudged up, can we just let that be okay now?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the wellness of our children that concerns me the most, what their futures look like, what their prospects are for a happy life lived well and expansively. With a matrix of information available at the touch of a fingertip, it is time to start discerning the truth from the lies if our children are to have any chance at surviving this mad house they are soon to inherit. I spent a long time delving into the past to make way for a better future for myself, and now I'd like to share what I found with the rest of the world...
