My name is Clarity, and I am fourteen years old, by this time’s standards. I don’t feel like I came from this planet, but that’s beside the point. I came into the community when Rozaya had bumped into a friend in elementary school who was involved in very dark practices that, as we found out through experience, Rozaya herself couldn’t handle. What I am about to share with all of you is something that I would recite to everyone in the community who could hear it when things with this friend, or behavioral interventions, threatened to sweep us into premature individuality, and at times, past that, into a complete loss of our senses of self. It is a prayer, but it is not religious. It calls not on any specific god, but on a guidance that was everything our situation was not. It was our only way of keeping ourselves hidden during all the times our emotional expression, and thus our whole way of being at the time, was under seeming attack from the people in power around us. I share this with the world at large in the hope that it will help someone, somewhere, escape the pain that otherwise would seem to lack an ending.

I say these words with the intention that all within this mind who need them will hear them, that all that is unbalanced may be countered by them, and that all will be as it need be after this current chaos ends, so that the truth may be preserved, and so that we may have a chance to repair the damage that is being done to all within this body.
I speak peace over all who need not be involved with the outer world’s happenings, and I call the mists of forgetfulness and unknowing to come and shroud those people, so that they may not be tormented by such happenings or by the new division that will surely happen in this time. I call for the safe darkness that is self-loss to come to all who are involved in the pain of this time, so that premature individuality may not be upon us and prevent my first call from coming to pass. I call for choice of feeling to be in full force for all who need such a way of survival, and for surrender to feeling to be in full force for all who need such a way of survival, free of conflict in their implementation as their coexistence within the system lives on. I call for the state of seeming oneness to surround all within the system, so that forgetfulness and unknowing may do their best to protect those who need protection, free of the obstruction of their opposites. I ask that all new births, all divides that come in this time of pain, be completed as though they were their own souls, and that the same light of which we were all once a part come to complete them. I call to the quality of constants to apply itself to our memory in the way that would best support our survival in these times, overriding all other calls which I have made that may prevent this.
I say these words in the name of all that guides us toward our truth, in full faith that all that is needed will come to pass in its proper time, with all callings done in sincerity, and all things that I have spoken of in this time of pain truly needed in this place. We are all aware that our needs shall come before our wants in these times, and these words are not spoken from a place of the lower and secondary, but from the higher and first-coming of the two. It is in great desperation, and nothing but this, in its purist, that I would ever make such calls as the ones that I have made here, but it is also with great trust in the power of the word that I speak such things, for all intentions when spoken or acted upon have power, and the intentions shown by those actions which have been performed upon us as a whole demonstrate that we will be utterly shattered should that which I have, in the past, spoken, be ignored. It is, then, that I say these things as a counteractive force against those demonstrated intentions which would shatter us completely, and with no other desire save that of preservation of ourselves, and protection against that which is unneeded as far as the area of shattering that has so profoundly shaped our ways as we know them to be.

I didn’t think in words then, but I mentally echoed these ideas, over and over and over again, until the situation that was causing us pain had passed and we could be a little surer of our safety. As always, no one realized what anyone else was doing, believing themselves to be part of the same person, and in that idea’s reality, I was the part of that singularity that was detached in a very odd, undefined way from the feelings that we were having. It wasn’t the way where a sense of self could form, outside of expression, and in fact it actively prevented such a thing from developing, but it had to be done. Without it, I don’t think we’d be here today as we are.
Thank you all for reading.
