Over generations in celestial darkness human hearts are closed. They open like flowers to receive the light after being shut through the coolness of night. Human experience on a planet passing through celestial dawn will change rapidly and profoundly: fostering a great sense of wonder and a deep, pulsing thrill... The opening of the heart brings love of self and love of all others as the self. This is not a play on words, but at unity's very crux. For though only the open heart may know, there is only one self... The loathing of individuals for themselves arises from the denial of the self at their centre. This brings damage to the forms of each one, and twists and knots the chords of their lives together. Rejection infuses life within and life among all who will stand in darkness. Alone and together they fulfil their private and public visions of life lived lost in pain. The pain will be endless so long as the heart is closed. But when the heart begins to open, the true self becomes allowed. Then love arises and fear fades, and energy rebounds to resolve fatigue. Working to serve others replaces working against them. The fulfilment of desire becomes commonplace, not the yearning for things believed forever out of reach. So life in pain sputters to its end, and life in bliss begins. This is the fate of every creature who will open its heart and let it fill with the light of the One.
