I just finished reading a five thousand page fantasy saga… in five volumes. On the Kindle…
And it was the second this long book by David Estes.
I enjoy reading fiction. But one of the most rewarding things about reading is the ‘Easter Eggs’… hidden treasures…
Most of these treasures are the author’s gifts, but given what I do for a living, my Easter Eggs are the ones I find and probably no one else… maybe not even the author.
If that made no sense, please forgive me…
All I am trying to say is that I find answers to my questions in almost all the books I read.
This particular book series, The Kingfall Histories, has a man-made species, The Thousands. Monsters. Two members of this species don’t live, don’t think quite like what is specific for the monster species… Roach and Lerg are the two characters’ names.
The species is put together using DNA from other species, and their exclusive job was to want to destroy, kill, and eat their prey… always hungry.
Roach was the very first born from a spawnmother. Not manufactured. Born.
A few minutes old, he was attacked by other Thousand babies, and instead of fighting, he went back to his ‘spawnmother’ the Thousand who gave him birth just a few minutes earlier.
In his mind there is a belonging… A ‘we’ with his spawn mother. There is a we, and then there are all the others.
Not much later a human baby was born to a spawnmother… obviously a glitch… and Roach, our very first ‘born’ Thousand also saw a ‘we’ with the human baby, and saved it.
Lerg… Roach is in the position to kill him, and he doesn’t… And that creates a concept of ‘we’ for Lerg.
So in hundreds of thousands of Thousands, there are two who are more like people… the way people were ‘designed’ by the Original Design, the way people were designed to be. To have a we.
There is a human counterpoint in the book to make it clearer.
Quill. Quill is a human. He had a strong ‘we’ with his mother, and with a friend, Rondo. They both get killed. And Quill loses what would make him human… he loses his ability to think ‘we’.
When I ask Source at what age I ‘got’ ‘we’… Source said at age 7.
WE is the missing element of humanity… the missing element in homo sapiens.
It’s missing and, as Landmark Education liked to say: ‘It’s missing that it’s missing‘…
What that means is people use the word ‘we’ but don’t FEEL it.
Humanity, the eight billion, is like The Thousands… all about themselves.
For someone to get to the real ‘we’, one needs to be able to see at least another person as a person. And themselves as a person.
But the eight billion only sees themselves as an object in a world of objects. Objects cannot feel we.
In the Reality Challenge I help you become ‘human’… i.e. create a sense of we… so you can leave the unhappy, wretched eight billion.
