The LightBearers: Light In The Darkness

Prologue

     By the 1990's, the American Union had gone to war with a leader from the Middle East for two reasons - protecting their Saudi Arabian allies' interest, which became American Union interests, and as a warning to religious fanatics in the Middle East that the Union would crush all opposition, if necessary.

During this time, technological advances flourished.  Not only were there advances in medicine, pharmaceuticals, and chemistry, but also in physics.

Earlier in the century, atomic weapons were born, followed by nuclear weapons.  Chemical warfare became the norm and biological warfare followed.  For every civil advancement in technology, there were three military advancements.  The pace for technological advancements were leading ahead advancements in positive social science.

However, the times did bring forth an explosion in digital technology.  This is when the Internet was born - the World Wide Web.  There were wonderful applications for this advancement in computation.  From business to social networking, the Internet, along with transportation, was changing the world from one of nationalized industrialization to globalized networking through immediate access to information.  The Information Age had officially arrived.

After the new millennium of 2000 C.E. had commenced, the American Union - Middle East polarity exploded.  An attack visited the shores of the Union, right by the very statue that promised light in the darkness.

The Union retaliated by waging war on Afghanistan’s Taliban organization and Iraq's Sadaam Hussein.  Islamic extremists had just become the Union's #1 enemy.

It was really all an excuse for the "Neo-Sufets" of the American Union to eliminate opposition in their grab for resources because the American masses had become abusers of energy, specifically that supplied by the oil buried beneath the Middle East.

The fate that befell Ancient Amur's Cabeir Civilization was appearing to come full circle in America and the modern world as a whole.  The very thing that the Galli-Cabeiri hoped to divert still emerged, only this time it would affect the entire planet.

D: "Damnnn..., that's a lot to swallow right now."

K: "I know.  Everything was revealed to me over many years but to hear it all in chronological sequence, especially in a short period of time, is overwhelming."

D: "It makes sense, though.  All that seems to be missing parts of history's puzzle appears in these sessions.  Like, I always wondered why it seemed that Egypt/Kemet popped up out of nowhere, and how some so-called ancient people built such amazing things like the Pyramids.  Even the fact that there was something in the Sahara Desert is mind-blowing.  It all makes sense!"

K: "Yeah, I know but that doesn't change what we're facing now." 

D: "What's that?"

K: "The same thing the Cabeiri Civilization faced - Great Destruction."

D: "What are we supposed to do?  We're only a few trying to change the ways of many."

K: “That’s what being a LightBearer means.  We're a blazing light surrounded by boundless darkness.  All the greatest movies you've ever seen, like “Stars Wars” and “The Matrix”, are based on this concept.  We have to expand the light so others will be able to see in the darkness but the biggest challenge of all is getting them to understand exactly what they're looking at."

D: "Big Brother, what exactly are we looking at?"

K: "The One Universal Truth, there are no others beside it - change. Are you ready to bear your Light?  Are you ready to make that Light grow, even in the face of total darkness?" 

D: "Yes. Question is: Do I have a choice?"

K: "That's exactly what we're fighting for, the freedom to choose, and choose wisely." 

D: "Then in that case, I'm definitely ready."

K: "Then let there be Light!"

     Steve sat there, at his desk, looking at his laptop screen.  He was confused by what he just heard.  Kaizen was turning out to be more than some urban-born minority seeking attention and fame.  Steve printed out the full manuscript of the entire "Hidden History Sessions" for his report to the Senator.  The Senator would definitely be interested in what Steve had come up with.

Time to act…
