Saul Williams Amethyst Rock

The truth will set you free! In this powerful prose, Saul reveals THEIR true prison and the path to freedom! It is the mind that is held captive. Manipulative, false ideologies, history, casts, constrains and paralysis not only the mind but the self, the soul. This awareness is the first step in understanding one's relationship to the universe. The voice, the lens of art, can be a powerful and transformational force that changes lives...

I think this speaks beyond color and nation state. I in fact see this step to enlightenment being a universal one. And yes, when one's eyes are opened in whatever way it alters what you might have done when they were closed. That unusual thing that happened, a force out of nowhere that directed entirely unexpected circumstances. And the awareness of a kind of destiny that you may actually have (at least in large part) control of.
