One question I would pose to Macy would be what happens to individuals who do not agree with or believe in the work that reconnects, and fail to establish a connection with the Earth.

The distinct molecular composition of water allows it to possess four important and unique properties that help sustain life: cohesive behavior, moderation of temperature, ability to expand when frozen, and the ability to dissolve almost anything on Earth. Have you ever noticed how water forms droplets and puddles instead of being single rain drops? Each water molecule consists of one negatively charged oxygen and two…

Since the dawn of humanity, we humans have used classes, structures, clans, factions, societies, and any other form of exclusion and connection to be able to operate as a single entity. Our societies and communities have generated extreme measures of grouping and monotony among itself. Any differences or changes to it lead to highly adverse ramifications towards the individual or entire group with the association.

The most perfect being that can ever be conceived1. The same God that introduced evil, temptation and destruction to man. Could one being be the cause of all madness and mayhem?
