Whole

“Blur the edges of the world you know, fall into me, let the spaces close…”

What is this project really about and why does it matter?

First and foremost, it is a passion project powered by love. Meaning that love brought it into being and is what continues to give it life. And anyone who has ever embarked on a creative project that was inspired by love knows that there are no ulterior motives that fuel it. It isn’t self-seeking or superficial. It isn’t hateful or violent (at its core). The project simply is what it is and that’s exactly what gives it its authenticity. From an evolutionary perspective, it is nothing more than a tiny burst of energy that I’ve released into the universe. So, calm down everybody. I am not a dangerous revolutionary and I am not a monster. If any slight changes should occur in our political atmosphere in reaction to this project, those effects will be the consequence of love because love is the primary cause here. Does that make sense?

The most wonderful thing about a project grown purely from love, is that there is no degree of uncertainty surrounding it. Meaning, it isn’t something that one could ever regret because it grew naturally in nature. I think of it like an evergreen tree (a Cleyera japonica tree to be exact). The seed was embedded, there was a germination period and then suddenly, one day, it emerged from the bed of soil in which it lay protected. Slowly, it began to rise, flourish, and grow freely in many different directions. It can tolerate the shade, but when it is exposed to the bright and beautiful Sun, this energy helps it to thrive. I water it with my emotion occasionally and let it evolve basically. It blossoms in June and bears fruit in November. And although it will likely be quite small when fully grown, it should still be strong enough to withstand almost any weather. And lastly, since it is made of purely organic matter, it will likely be better for our earth than any artificial project could ever be. What could possibly be threatening about that?

It's true that its purpose was unclear to begin with. In fact, it wasn’t even given a purpose initially, it had to find its own purpose in life you could say. When it finally did however, it was able to transcend its existence in a way that it never could before. It began to live. And when this happened, its purpose suddenly became clear. This project was going to be about helping my fellow humans transcend their existence on earth. It was going to be about giving some meaning and purpose to those existing without any. It was going to be about moral and intellectual virtue dissociated from religion. It was going to be about academic stimulation reaching intellectually euphoric heights. It was going to be about evolutionary patterns, becoming one whole, and connecting fields of knowledge in meaningful ways. It was going to be about trust, open-mindedness, arousal, honesty, freedom, sex, politics, and philosophy. But most of all, it was going to be about helping others achieve reason. That is quite a complicated list of things I suppose, but I have quite a complicated mind and so it is only natural that this project reflects that.

I prefer to call it “this project” or “our project” rather than “my project” because it has been (and will continue to be) inspired/influenced by many great thinkers and artists around the world (both ancient and contemporary). I consider it a group project in other words. One that no human on earth will be excluded from in fact, because I am heavily against ostracism in any/all forms and because anybody who really knows me knows that I could never do that to anyone. Any anger that I express toward individuals and/or groups on this website is not meant to inspire hate towards those groups and/or individuals. I’m simply releasing my fury (that I will not apologize for) instead of repressing it, which from my personal experience, is not a healthy or safe practice.

For someone like me who struggles with verbal communication, writing can be a source of both comfort and empowerment which is why I encourage others who share in this struggle to find a safe outlet from which they can get their words out clearly too.

I hope this post has given some clarity and peace of mind to my readers.

Have a good night everybody.

Sincerely,

Heather
