Short spoken-word video by Josh Trent reflecting on the paradox of life, the interplay of light and dark (yin-yang), and the idea that humans 'drink from a river of forgetfulness'—forgetting their true selves intentionally to experience and either fulfill or resist their potential across lifetimes.

Hey, we understand there's dark and light. We understand that there's yin yang in this world. That's the part of living. But at the same time, like, to resist that and to deny that even exists would be denying the paradox of life itself. Because the reason I wanted to connect with you and the reason why I wanted to share is because, man, it has been, for me, a consistent reminder of I drank from a river of forgetfulness. I came into this world just like all of us, and it's written in the logos text and religious text. We all come into this current reality, this 3D reality, and we all drink from the river of forgetfulness. We forget who we are on purpose, so we can live our whole lives, either stepping into our potential or resisting it. And then eventually, we'll come back in another life and live it.
