It had been a low hum and then it grew into a strumming guitar and then a voice that faded in and out of what seemed to be a troubling sleep. Slowly I became aware of the voice Tim McGraw then lyrics from the song- “One of these days” ….” I chase that boy home from school…he wasn’t cool…”Yeah I remember that fool kid running passed me…Strange what he said… ‘you’re gonna love me’

Wow must be some bleed off of the song, which keeps waffling in and out of my thoughts … “small town beauty…I promised the world… left her standin’…. but she says … you’re gonna love me.” ….

Hmm… I remember a girl, giving her a watch with a strand of hair in it why did I leave…The song trailing off now I hear … “I’m gonna…feel… release…to rise above me…smile a little…laugh a little… one of these days I’m gonna love me” ….

In this space of twilight consciousness, waffled with my thoughts of music, peppered in with these disconnected or misplaced memories… yes, waffle a good word for it, meaning to be unable or unwilling to make a clear decision about what to do.  In the midst of these honeycomb thoughts, pierced a modulated voice both authoritative and yet soothing – was it male? No, female? No, some combination of each? It said:

Welcome to the future, you are in a reentry state and once fully revived you will find yourselves in the year 2045 of the Common Earth Era.

Our vision for each of you is to successfully assimilate as a sentient being into the present culture as quickly as possible. Some of you were put in containment in the early 1960’s and have a lot to do to catch up.

With nanorobotic medicine, we have been able to diagnose, treat, repair and prevent future disease and traumatic injury to your soma or what you call your body. Your body, who you are, is much, much more than a skin enclosed bag of blood, bones, and organs. For success in your new life in the HERE & NOW, we will need for you to upgrade your concept of thoughts, attitudes, and emotional responses of the body to be a successfully functioning Somatic Unit, which entails body, mind, and soul working in one accord. This is a crucial demand of this Society. We could have intervened and reworked your thoughts & feeling but then you would be no better than an android 

When we intervene, the interventions that are best, are those that intervene in the least. Your complex infrastructure, that marriage of high tech natural science and machine produced your cyborg shell, this would all be for nothing without you reworking your mammalian fears, aggressive attitudes, and prejudices. Your job then is the recreation of yourself.  Know that whatever your core essence is, it will not be lost.   Gender and sexual attitudes are considered to be like clothing – in this Society people put them on and take them off at will.  Thus, what you were yesterday may not be what you are tomorrow. No one cares what you wear at any given time other than if it’s appropriate for the occasion. We care who you are, not what you wear. With that understood, many will find the hidden thrills of your once forbidden past tantalizing … until you find Your Uniqueness. Then that creative gift is the contribution Society want from you.

The extraordinary abilities of humanity to create are within you. Be willing to go beyond your current perceptions and be open to the greater possibilities of Agape.  Be warned – there is danger and courage needed to Educate yourself … Educate an ancient Greek word meaning “To draw forth from within” know that danger comes as the price for the greater sense of Somatic Awakening to have a deeper sense of community, of acceptance, maturity, wisdom, empathy, and gratitude.  – This danger is the Face to Face encounter with Oneself in memories of other times and on other worlds and in other dimensions. It’s a fierce contest, but you can overcome – Prepare.  

As the voice fades, I hear the song lyrics “Sweet release…to rise above me…… I’m gonna love me”
