Speak to us of Children. And he said:
Your children are not your children
They are sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you

For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot...
Everything will happen exactly how it should....
The Mayans saw each 5125.36 year cycle of human existence as representing a different element – fire, water, earth, air.

Why are people so invested in what I do with my own body?

A bit of the swirling abyss of current thoughts.
I believe one of the biggest limitations to society at this time is that everyone is trying to “find themselves.” In doing so, most become so disillusioned by the entire idea of individuality that they cannot see the bigger picture.
