    If you were not here right now, who would be here to read this?

    In this awe-filled episode of Benevolent Brainwashing, we journey back—not to a single origin, but to the shared hum beneath every creation story ever told.

    From the Hindu Rigveda’s breathing without breath, to the Hebrew God hovering over primordial waters… from the Tao that cannot be spoken, to the Big Bang that unfolded not in space, but as space—this meditation weaves scripture, myth, and science into a single thread of memory. The memory of a beginning that still echoes in your breath, your blood, your being.

    You are stardust formed from ancient stars. You are a ripple of the first vibration, still unfolding. You are not separate from the beginning. You are the beginning—in motion, in thought, in love.

    This is not a meditation to make you forget what you’ve learned. It’s one to help you remember what you’ve always known.

    Wear headphones. Close your eyes. And listen for the story still being told… through you.
