Origin Story

Nathan opens with 30 seconds to a minute to settle on one question for the universe. If nothing comes, he says not to worry, as something may arrive along the way. You ask it near the end, once you reach the colours, either aloud or silently. Both work equally well.

The bubble is your safe transport through space and time, and nothing can touch you inside it. Its white light is described as a soothing energy that gradually clears negative thoughts and feelings. You may notice tingling, which he calls a sign you are taking that energy in.

First you meet a man and a woman in a meadow, your distant ancestors. The woman says they have been waiting for you, and the man says they are proud of you and want you to feel powerful and purposeful. Then you meet a small newt-like creature at the edge of the sea, a reminder of how far life has travelled to reach you.

You stop among colourful gas in blues, reds, yellows and oranges, and realise this is where you come from. You spend a minute or two contemplating its beauty and the idea that, at the deepest level, people are good. Then you ask your question, and a voice whispers: I am listening, I have always been here, you are never alone, keep listening.

Nathan suggests answers may reveal themselves in some form over the next week to month. He asks you to pay attention to what is around you and watch for a change in pattern or something slightly out of the ordinary. Such a moment may spark an idea that feels like a reply.

You race back past the moon and planets, and land in the place where you began listening. Nathan closes by asking you to leave with pride in who you are, reminding you that you are special and that the planet needs you.
