I can influence the future I am not alone I am connected to it all So you are too It is my belief that our purpose here, is to learn how to be responsible creators I have the freedom to be woven into any possibility Consciousness is the ground of all being through observation I simply am in heaven I can go from any form to any emotion because they are the same Atoms, ideas, strings There is no reward The mind is a storm The cruelest tyrannical trick we have played upon ourselves is religion, war, disease, and ignorance How far down the rabbit hole do I want to go? It doesn't matter, as long as I go And I want you, to come with me.

*belief instead of believe
Comes off as somewhat pretentious, and loses its focus somewhat in the third part (after "because they are the same").

It tackles too many topics in the second half to be strong in any of them. Would do better to stick with the "I can influence the future" theme.

Love "How far down the rabbit hole do I want to go?" that is a great line.

You owe me two bucks for using my Rabbit hole. I'll take a discount on your book.

Alice, there are many who await you in earnest in the depths of this chaotic rabbit hole. You need not a partner, all is good and safe... if thou art a madman ofcourse.
