Judgement is a monumental point in life. Boundaries, walls, and encasements are destroyed. Doors open, possibility comes knocking, intuition flows freely. The tectonic plates of change move like giants beneath your feet and alter the landscape forever. Gaping holes of darkness give way as dirt, rock, and stone cave into the abyss of a yawning earth.

Does it come from art, nature, poetry? From where does it stem? What is loud enough for the “lower nature” or the material and earthbound selves to hear the call of the Divine? He suggests it happens in a flash, in a moment, before cognition occurs. Danger is often felt before it is seen. The body
