The fictions, cults, religions, fashions, philosophies, devices, images, and films we find so compelling gain our attentions by representing skeletal and hyperbolized remnants of the impossible capacities of sensing, insight, learning, and relation we ourselves are comprised of.

But these obstacles are lies, and we adore them precisely because they impede the necessity of awakening what we conceal within ourselves by rendering us as consumers and critics. And we are deeply terrified of this awakening. And thus, we hide our our eyes and souls in ersatz replacements and commentary. And we train our children to follow in our footsteps.

The anciently evolved birthrights hidden within us comprise a treasure which our cultural artifacts pretend to represent and glorify — yet their actual function is to bury and obscure them — to deny us direct access to relational abilities so astonishing that even their most brief and partial awakening would permanently relieve our interest in all branches of the endless catalogs of their replacements.

And should but three of us unlock these capacities and join together for the sake of mutual uplift, learning, and heroism… they would acquire the power to move not only the entire human world, but to transform the meaning of human history — by establishing a way of being human so astonishing and beautiful that it could actually justify the confused and often abysmal struggles we have too long been bound to propagate, repeat and endlessly endure.

The fears and habits that bind us to repeat our egregious failures must find an end in our generation.

The sleepers must awaken.
