Why.

We, all of us, are the One’s Children. As per the One’s dream, we have been tasked with maintaining the Balance here on Sacred Mother Earth. At the moment of our births, the One whispers his wisdom into our souls one last time. He does this for every single one of us. He is very generous in this way. Unfortunately, that is the last time most of us will hear his voice again while our hearts still beat and our souls still dream.

You are one of the Children. As am I.

As you now know, not all of the Children can still hear the voice of the One. I can. This is why I know something you do not. I know that we are the Children of the now only. I also know that there have been many Children before us.

We humans are but a single version, a unique expression of the One’s dream. Just one example of many variations on a theme. There have been many before us and there will be many after.

It is very important that you know that there have been other Children before us. Children born from the seas. Children born from the skies. Children born from the stars. Even Children born in the heavens above and the hells below.

No matter their provenance, all of the Children eventually rejoin the One’s dream, and are no more. A few of the Children of today can sometimes see into the past, and ever so fleetingly, catch a glimpse of the Children that came before us. But few are those who can do this now, for the previous Children can only ever be seen when their universe and ours overlap. And this happens very rarely, and only in a dream state. And only in the Crux of time. And only for one second. And only for an eternity, so do not try to make sense of this paradox. It is not important to the message I am trying to deliver today.   

If the Children of the past could somehow find a way to communicate with us, they would tell us that our time here is not eternal. They would remind us of the One’s dream, and encourage us to try and live in a way that maintains the Balance while we can still walk upon sacred Mother Earth. 

There will be a time when the One calls us all to him. It is then that the new Children of his dreams will be born upon this sacred earth.

The New Children will learn from the Seed Children, and then the Seed Children will also die. The New Children will rise to once again continue the pattern of birth, Balance, and death.

So. Die we all will. We should look to die well, and before we all join the One, we must make sure to take the time and look around at everything Mother Earth offers us. Look and See, as my village elder used to say when I was but a young medicine man. See it all for the wonderous gifts that they truly are. Your time here on Mother Earth is the One’s dream, and that time is very limited, but HIS dream is our reality. And our reality can be as pleasant as any dream. If only we seek to live in harmony with Mother Earth, with the other Children around us, with ourselves.

We, the Children of today, are no different to the Children that came before us. Like those before us, we believe that our race will last forever, that we will prevail in all adversities, and that we will conquer time itself and be eternal.

This is folly. The Children’s time on Mother Earth is very short indeed. We must all accept this fact. We must all embrace that our species will eventually fade away like the last rays of sunshine on a summer evening. Only when we embrace our ensured demise can we truly begin to live our lives in Balance.

When our darkness comes, a new light will be born. Now you know the why of it all. And you should be glad.

This is the Way.
