The New Venture
It is the beginning of something significant. There is no ignoring the fact that the state of society is psychologically fragile, bleeding into our primitive being. We must search for a deeper meaning, a better understanding on the brink of this era. There is mistrust and skepticism on this journey, which will allow us to find meaning, to use the knowledge we have discovered to bring a deep sense of satisfaction. We will have to wrestle with the construction of our identity, questioning the sense of self that always eludes us. This undertaking gives us the ability to take charge of the time ahead. A future of ingenuity, reflection and self-creation.

To begin this saga, we had to state the obvious: that we are fallible, vulnerable, confused and misunderstood. Yet we have a transformative power that awaits us in realms beyond what our minds and hearts can comprehend. It is only through a pilgrimage that we discover the metamorphosis of ourselves. To hold the future captive, our desire for absolute certainty must be discarded. We must have reason for not knowing where we will end up. And if we are faithful to these values, we will know when we are being lied to.
Our journey should never be about comparisons. There will always be a greater and a lesser among us, now and forever. We should be unyielding on this path as it is for our greater good. We will find the things that come to our soul if we are not devoid of free will. Vigilance on the path is necessary, for in this unfolding future we will find a place and create a legacy that transcends the limits of time and the destruction of nature. The things we discover on this journey will bring the delicate balance between progress and responsibility. The ascent of this height will open our eyes to carry a symphony of light, fill our minds with unimaginable awareness, and set our hearts vibrating to a new rhythm. We must embrace this immanent epic for it will be like no other for the senses. The new venture where the fear of betraying our ego will be silenced, where we will pacify the misfortunes of the past. We will cultivate our minds and hearts to discern all galactic truths, to love, and to forgive.
