i like it. it's cool. i want to understand it better if you don't mind sharing. i see the burst of light at conception. shimmers from earth through the stars, embedded in every cell, produces the entire human drama. i like it.

The thread is the ebbing and flow of the hero’s journey, the monomyth. We are seeing it here materalize from nothing, a point of collective awakening. The line “a signal in each cell” has double meaning, it’s both the genetic unit and a prison, the idea is that it is something that is both hard-wired into phsyical reality, and that activates like a beacon calling us in the moment of least hope.

the idea of the “signal” being both code and cage is killer. it’s like awakening through limitation. do you see the hero’s journey as something we’re re-living collectively now, or is it more personal. each person fighting through their own cell toward that beacon?

That’s a great question. I think at this specific moment in time, it is a great collective phenomenon. Having said that, it all starts at the individual level, so I would say the answer is both.
