I saw them cross the twilight of an age, The sun-eyed children of a marvellous dawn, The great creators with wide brows of calm, The massive barrier-breakers of the world

Independence of solitude
“It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”

Reading fiction improves brain connectivity and function
Neuroscientists have discovered that reading a novel can improve brain function on a variety of levels. The recent study on the brain benefits of reading fiction was conducted at Emory University. The study titled, "Short- and Long-Term Effects of a Novel on Connectivity in the Brain," was recently published in the journal Brain Connectivity.
The researchers found that becoming engrossed in a novel enhances connectivity in the brain and improves brain function. Interestingly, reading fiction was found to improve the reader's ability to put themselves in another person's shoes and flex the imagination in a way that is similar to the visualization of a muscle memory in sports.
Modern-day reading habits continue to evolve in a digital age. Statistics vary on exactly how many people are reading novels this decade compared to decades past. There is a definite trend for general readers to buy more fiction than nonfiction books — and to get facts, news and crystallized knowledge from the internet. In 2012, only four of the top 20 books were nonfiction titles.
"People are interested in escape," says Carol Fitzgerald of the Book Report Network. "In a number of pages, the story will open, evolve and close, and a lot of what's going on in the world today is not like that. You've got this encapsulated escape that you can enjoy."
When Was the Last Time You Read a Good Novel?
Are you someone who likes to read novels? Surprisingly, 42% of college graduates will never read a book again after graduating college. A 2012 "Pew Internet and American Life Project" survey found that people who like to read fiction are driven by personal enrichment and described what they liked about reading saying things like: "I love being exposed to ideas and being able to experience so many times, places, and events." Another person was quoted as saying, "I look at it as a mind stimulant, and it is relaxing." Others expressed the pleasure of living vicariously through a character and having another "life of the mind."
According to the study, reading is a lifestyle choice that is also driven by a desire to unplug from a constant stream of visual information. Readers said things like: "It's better for me to imagine things in my head than watch them on TV ... It's an alternate to TV that beats TV every time ... Reading is better than anything electronic." One respondent captured the general sentiment of avid fiction readers by saying, "I love being able to get outside myself."
One of the benefits of getting outside yourself by putting yourself in someone else's shoes through a novel is that it improves theory of mind.

We will be required to witness the painful truths hidden behind genocidal agendas and the many revelations of disclosure events
Observing the bifurcation load out stage on the physical plane in the context of current global events can be very difficult emotionally, especially for those unaware that we will be required to witness the painful truths hidden behind genocidal agendas and the many revelations of disclosure events. Thus, for lightworkers and Starseeds this is an event to prepare for and work your spiritual tools. It is important to keep an open mind, learn how to become more flexible and adaptable to spontaneous changes of perception, and to stay calm, peaceful and in the observer consciousness. This is a momentous time for human liberation, pray and meditate, awakening into greater realizations of the possibilities of emotional betrayal that may be prevalent in many situations as they are being revealed to us. This is the time for radical self-care and knowing your physical and emotional limits, while supporting our loved ones and friends as best we can. Especially as they are rudely shaken awake and startled by the ongoing revelations of the disclosure information surfacing in the mainstream.
