I am a thinker... AND a doer, but mostly a thinker. I think about all sorts of things. It used to be that I thought about why the sky was blue, why I was alive, and why the amount of money in the world continued to increase, when there is so much inequity, and yet, it seemed as though nobody was in control of its production... but, those thoughts were quickly replaced by much deeper issues.
The past fifteen years of my life have been filled with more experience and, well, life, than I ever could have imagined, in my earlier years. I mean, I'm only 35, and yet, I've come to terms with the issue of existence, have cured myself of serious mood disorder by educating myself in great detail about the neural substratum that mediates it, have skydived, swam the Great Barrier Reef, and driven across Canada, just because I could.
I have loved and lost, lost and loved; built non-profits, failed, picked myself up, and tried again; acted in and made films; taught myself multiple styles of drumming, and even played keyboard WHILE drumming; fought for equal rights, stood my ground, and stared inequality in the face on numerous occasions; I have lived many lives and worn many hats, and all this has brought me to where I am today: Writing to you from my dining room table, attempting the even greater and more difficult feat of appealing to BOTH your intellect and your sense of wonder.
Yes, it's easy to read posts about extraterrestrials, elite conspiracies, and "alternative" views of history, and to think "this guy surely MUST be nuts," but... when you've spent as much time as I have reading, entertaining ideas, and ultimately disposing of the ones that did not hold up to actual scrutiny, you'd probably come to a similar conclusion. At the very least, you'd agree that there's an awful lot wrong with the world, and that the only REAL solution to all of our problems (and there are many) is that we WORK TOGETHER... as ONE HUMANITY, UNITED.
And so, that's my platform: Unity. Peace through unity; overcoming through unity; healing through unity; UNITY.
There is no ONE better than another. There IS only ONE. ONE species, on ONE home planet, in ONE shared universe, with ONE collective future. Anything else is an illusion, and most of the illusions that we have are destructive, meaning that it's high time that we come together to focus on the CONSTRUCTIVE illusions... in order to convert them into an actual, meaningful, successful, healthy REALITY.
That is what I offer you. Nothing more, and nothing less. Unity.
Sincerely,
Sean Gratton
All is ONE.
