All we have ever had to do is to reach out and accept it. Human society will exact its price for defying the status quo and insisting on being an individual rather than just one more member of the herd. For most people, this price is too high to pay. They would rather fit in, belong and be accepted by their fellow humans. But for a few of us, the price for individuality is well worth it.
Human society is ephemeral.
It rises, falls and rises again, over and over in an endless cycle. At the close of the second millennia of the common era, our society is in a downward spiral and will soon fall. But we don't have to fall with it. Those of us who have chosen the mystery path will survive as individual souls when our society is in ruins and its members are no more.
