When Disparate Voices Rise In Unison

Messages sent – truthful and rational, or harmful – can be masked under many veils of values, beliefs, or interests, where the hearts and minds of the receivers can become blinded by false promises and questionable paths. Faith and free will can be a unifying force amongst peoples, yet when mysterious events unfold, a door can open for many questionable elements to enter the arena and offer solutions.
The hidden hands of power can influence every facet of society – visibly, and invisibly – where silk strings and shackles can distort and divide the path of every decision and question many core values and beliefs. All messages received need to be decoded by peeling away at all the masks, so that the true meaning is revealed and understood.
Ambiguity and deceit can sometimes be hidden in plain sight while seeking ways to bend the will of those whose eyes, ears, hearts, and minds are not tuned into the true meaning of a proposal. Those who can wisely decode, interpret, and respond to messages sent with wisdom and solidarity always remain the true victors and restore harmony.
