“Collective cycles are everything here. You are caught between worlds, part of many, belonging to none. Changes are imminent. The air is buzzing with future currents. No rest, no quiet, no continuity. You verge on astounding things; held poised at the edge.
You feel propelled by destiny to obsess upon where we all are now, where we came from, and especially, where we are going. Staying tuned for further developments. And knowing they’re on the way any moment now, “I can feel it rising up.” Inside Degrees Elias Lonsdale
