It centers around why we are here, and what we are here to do. People in your time are now working on changing the entire structure of their culture. They are stepping up, you might say, into a newer and higher and finer vibration. For joy is what it is all about. Yet your parents, and the parents of many many people in this culture, believed that joy had to be earned, and then, even if earned, that it had to be measured out in tiny quantities.
