Hello human. I see you sitting in front of your computer screen. You thought this was just another homework assignment, but it isn’t. Don’t be alarmed, you are not going crazy. The pages of this book speak only to the chosen few. You are exactly where you should be. It was predestined that I would speak to you on this day at this time. I am going to tell you a story. You will hear others tell it differently, but this is what you need to hear today.

We’ve been watching you for years. We were with you as you grew-up in years. We were the reason you chose to take the course at the University of Oklahoma. Have you ever wondered why you picked this course? Why not another? Do you feel the call in your heart? Craving something, but you can’t quite name what it is? Have you not noticed the differences between you and your peers? You are more in-tune with your surroundings and maybe a little quicker than your friends in all the right ways. You could have met the same non-western civilization requirements by reading the Greek myths. Do you think it was by accident that you read this blog, at this time? Of course not, you were chosen from the beginning. I know what you are wondering: you want to know who I am. I have had many names throughout the ages. Try not to think about that right now. Don’t worry, we will get to that soon enough. Just call me Vast. I will put pictures in your mind to better understand who I am. For now, let’s talk about your destiny. The greatest part of the human experience is discovering one’s personal journey. I would never deprive you of that joy. We have been clearing your path since the beginning, and now is your time. You appear to be confused. Good, then I am accomplishing what I came here to do.
I want to tell you the sacred story. I see you have a question burning inside you. Save your questions . . . only time will answer those. Maybe the story happened and maybe it didn’t. Hidden within these pages is the answer to your query. What question, you wonder? Surely you must be joking. Stop wasting my time. The question all humans are asking. The question your existence sets into motion and cries out from the moment you were born. The question on your parent’s face when they looked at you in amazement for the first time. The question on your confused face as you listen to my story. Have you ever wondered why you are here? The answer to that question waits at the end of your personal journey. It is the only path to finding your true self. Pay attention because I will never repeat the story again.

We need to awaken a part of you that has, as of yet, been sleeping. It all started when an old friend of mine wanted to help humanity. He became flesh and walked among the humans with all the same desires and temptations that you have suffered throughout your life. He was flawless in his nature. Of course, this is the nature of our kind. We were present at your rebirth when we put the definition of virtue in your heart.

Though my friend had ultimate power, rebirth in the flesh removes all memory of previous lives. It was as if he was born anew. Let’s just call him Rama for now. This was great fun for him. To be able to learn new things, experience the emotions of the humans without knowledge of what’s to come next. Honestly, I don’t know how you poor creatures manage. He came for one purpose, but he had to remember that purpose before he could find his personal journey. The process was not without risk, we knew that if he did not accomplish his journey in the very few years he had as a human, he would be lost forever in the Sea of Neveremeber which is just south of oblivion. This grey swirling mass is where doubt and fear were spawned. No being has ever been strong enough to swim out of the currents of the Neveremember undertow. Such is the fate of all that do not accomplish their journey. Trapped in their own mind lost in the undercurrents of doubt and remorse. They cannot find peace. The path hidden, so they can’t find themselves.

Who can avoid the undertow of Neverember without finding the courage to take this path? Ah, but what a fantastic adventure awaits those that travel journey’s path. Rama passed through many tests to gain the experience needed to remember himself. Have you not heard of the many demons overcame in days’ past? Have you not heard of the great love shared by him and the beautiful Sita? Have you not heard the many battles fought and won? I have a task for you. The quest is much too difficult for a normal human but by now, you must realize that you have more ability than your peers. Perhaps you are special, perhaps you will be killed within the hour but either way, you will be on the path to self-realization. Will you point your toes in the direction of the unknown and take the path untraveled? Will ignore your destiny and swim with the cowards in Neveremeber for all time?
Author's Note: This story is the first part of a series that I plan on adding episodes as my portfolio evolves. I am setting up the story as if Rama was just another story about a thing that happens every once in a while. The gods just need to send a savior to humanity to give them a guide and hero to have a person to look toward for moral mentor-ship, and Rama was one of these divine beings. It is supposed to be cryptic. I wanted to make the reader interested by being cryptic and making them guess what I am talking about but to be wrong as the stories develop. I love the kind of movies that spin and twist the plot. I am setting up a story with the end in mind. . I am setting up a story with end in mind and was hoping to pull from other legends to give it a familiar feel while hoping I can surprise the reader by being predictable until the big spin comes. This is the set up for the next story. The next story should start to get into the quest and use the same layout as the Ramayana. Destiny has people placed on a path and they are predestined to meet and change the direction of the story in some way.
