Always Darkest Before Dawn
by Brian Sanchez (06/12/2005)

We often get impatient watching history unfold, witnessing those still caught up in the illusion as they cause suffering through serving their own selfish, fear-driven interests. But we are all like children reading a storybook together, and just because you and I are already at the end of the page doesn't mean that others are. In order for us to turn the page, we must ALL turn the page together. The page must be read by all before we may proceed to the next chapter. We must all come to the realization together, so that we may ALL choose to turn the page as One. Impatience and forcing others to turn the page with us when they are not ready makes us no different than those who force us to remain on the same page due to their own selfishness and Fear of letting go of the Illusion. The suffering we are witnessing before us is simply the final page in this chapter of our lives. Those fully immersed in the Illusion know nothing but Illusion, and they fear letting go of the river banks as the waters naturally proceed to move forward. This attachment is what causes them and all they are connected to much suffering. Energy only wants to move forward and it cannot be bottled up and remain stagnant for long. We are all of the One Energy, and it is in our nature to move forward so as to continue on in our paths to Self-Realization. The waters are rising up to the top of the dam, and it won't be long until the waters that wish to only move forward finally overflow or break through the barriers of our Attachment to the Illusion. This is all part of the process of personal, reciprocal and collective Self-Realization and growth. We're all in this together. We are all One. The new chapter is over the horizon. The new dawn is fast approaching. We are all bearing witness to the darkest hour of our lives, but never forget that the night is always at its darkest before dawn.
