Cell, without wishing to sound too skeptical and as ideal as your presentation is, has not your ‘tree of life’, the knowledge of radical unity been known countless times over the course of human history already, starting with Zoroaster? I ask this in a rather rhetorical sense because it appears to be the historical truth, yet somehow, this wisdom of the one became polluted as demonstrated by the majority of history. In this way, while its truth remains, its awareness cyclically becomes covered over with the resulting human issues manifesting. So, in order to ask an actual question of you, are you suggesting that a new era, a dawning of unity is upon us, and that this era will remain rather than come and go?
