You are in a desert of dunes. The day to day is between two dunes. You look up, you see sand.<p>There are mountains in the distance. If you never walk up to the top of the dune, you won't know that, and if you don't make it a habit, you'll quickly forget that you saw them.<p>Your life can be a procession of views of sand grains in between a few dunes, or it can be a deliberate migration towards the mountains.<p>We are not terribly far from an ascension that will completely change the human condition, make it irrelevant as to what we our ancestors were in the evolutionary past, and make it possible to choose everything about what we will be. The future is glorious, golden, and accelerating. You can work towards that, or you can choose to ignore it.
