What is Evolution? What is the next step of human Evolution? For all these eons, Earth always encounters the cycle of boundaries in response to its own natural oscillation (Ebb and Flow, i.e. expanding and contracting). However, with ‘neutral’ perspectives, probably a man could perceive that the threat of extinction, the boundaries of Pandemic, and the ‘end’ of a cycle, could be a potential way for Evolution. 

The pandemic provides Monica a solitude circumstance, which enables her to research human potential in the pseudo-science knowledge such as Chakra and Prana and their connection to scientific studies of the frequencies.

This research represents her response to the assumption of the existence of Schumann Resonance (around 7.83 Hz), the natural frequencies around the spectrum of 483 Hz and all the myths about frequencies and vibrations, as one of the few gateways in Evolution of the human brain. 

Monica conducts an experiment using 7 sound frequencies, which according to assumption have the potential to trigger 7 chakra spots within the human body and soul. Assuming that if these theories are valid, it provides us a method to elicit the Prana (human electric and energy current or life force) to climb its way from the Base Chakra (Mooladhara), which is situated in the lower part of the body, to reach up the Crown Chakra (Sahasrara), located on top of the head. The aforementioned is to be done with the help of the optimum concentration method, known as Samatha, along with the ideal behavior and comprehension and the act of surrender and Let Go(d). It is to unlearn what she thought she has learned. 

The hope is that one day she will comprehend, that Sunset is not the end. It is just the beginning of a new cycle of Sunrise. This is a tribute to Evolution.

CHAPTER ONE:
“CHANT OF THE SUN SCREAM”
The End, Is The Beginning

Once upon an eon, in a land beyond time.

There was a Monstera, who filled her hand, with the black black soul of endless Nights. The mistakes she made, carried all along, through time and space. She can not ever let go, of the memory of sufferings that she had caused to so many sentient beings. The earthly body of those beings, was turned to dust because of her. But she can not ever, escapes, the haunting of her own regrets, her own wounds. 

The Desert became her witness,
The Moon became her witness,
The Sun became her witness,
In a Hope that one day, Purification will heal her hearts.
All alone in solitude, wandering and wondering, to redeem the wounds of all beings, that became the wounds of her Self.

She cried and lamented:
“Forgive me, pain and suffering, all beings that I had wounded
Forgive me, all beings that caused me pain
All this time, I thought you were my cruel enemies
For Divinely, you were all my humble Teachers, forced me to Surrender
You humbled my heart, in a hope that one day, I will be in rejoice in humiliation”

Along the journey, she met a male Shaman, a voyager from the land of ICARIE. Then he taught her, and savagely nurtured her. And The Shaman sang a lamentation to her,

The Song of:

“CHANT OF THE SUN SCREAM”

“Here is to the grains of Sand beneath my feet
Here is to the grace of The Sun that burns my skin
And let Them, cleanse
And let Them cleanse, my, Soul
In solemn solitude, shall I venture
In solemn solitude, shall I drown the past

And start it all, 
Anew”

More than a decade later, she sing that song of The Shaman. It gives her Hope among destructions and chaos in a cycle that begun to feel obsolete. In a firm realization of:

“With my consciousness of Birth, then Death is my certainty
With my consciousness of a Meeting, then Separation is my certainty
With my consciousness of The Rising of The Sun, then Sunset, is inevitable

That with assurance, Sunset is only the beginning, of a new cycle of Sunrise
In life, the I is dead, and in Death, the I will be alive

Someday, Sunset will give you the blessing of Nothingness
To become Nothing but Everything, all at once
To Forgive, Let Go and Surrender
And welcoming new Hope, The New Cycle of The Surya (Sun)
The 'New' Cycle of Evolution”


..…..thus, the Folk Lore, begin…….
