Ah.  I see.  So you just could not help but press the button.

    Were you like me as a child  -  who could not go to sleep when they were told? Were you like me and stayed awake wondering why the world was like it was? Why, as soon as you left the safety of your home and parents it suddenly became cruel and thoughtless?  Why other children had to hurt others to make themselves feel big?  Did you succumb and join in their games, or did you, like me, stay aloof and wondered why they did it?

    And when you grew up did you, like me, find that there was something called 'office politics', where you found the same children playing the same game? Did you join in and sell your soul for a penny, or were you like me and kept aloof?

    And then when you met a soul who was like your own, whose light and beauty shone out to you, did you find perfection, or did you find the years of seeing the pain in others had left the pain in you? Did you find a perfect match, a piece of heaven's flame, or was the pain you found in them far greater than your own? And did you heal them in a flash  -  or did they just explode?

    There are times in life when you cannot keep aloof; you have to act. There are times when you have to take a risk. In extreme circumstances there may come a time when you have to step off the edge and walk out over the abyss. When you feel that whether you keep on walking or plummet is not in your hands. But you have faith.

    Many feel that such a time is now. That we need something to change things. The spiritual traditions of the world tell us that if it is needed, it is provided. So it is. What you have read on the preceeding pages, and what is to come, is enough to change mankind for ever. Nothing will seem the same after this.

    But as always, what happens after Sleeping Beauty wakes is up to us.
