A fascinating shift from competition to cooperation comes to a darkened world approaching its celestial sunrise. Various individuals and groups begin to awaken to the fact that their civilization is designed to produce suffering. The rule of competition and the threat of failure has kept almost everyone feeling anxious and in lack. Cooperation creates good will, and so all of what people require and desire, but people's thoughts have been organized against it. Competition still is celebrated and insisted upon as the natural way, even though it bleeds down good will and directs thought and action to taking rather than contributing: ensuring that all that is most valued will be ever in short supply.

When universal light returns to a darkened world, its residents begin to recall the unlimited abundance of universal life. The mechanisms that hold people in anxiety and insufficiency become progressively more transparent; and people become progressively more inclined to release them in favour of the ways of confidence and abundance. A certain volatility comes into collective life as the institutions and codes of darkness lose the loyalty and compliance of their constituents... Separation starts to shudder and shake in the gathering light of the dawn, and the very foundations of dark civilization begin to silently disintegrate.
