Today you will risk your life to find out who you really are. Hidden dangerously deep in a magical forest lies the answer to the question that’s haunting you: how much are you worth?
For the last 4 months you’ve been preparing for this journey. It’s not enough time, but you can’t wait anymore. You desperately need to know if what lies inside your soul is sacred, or sickening.
With great trouble you force your way through the thick forest. Every now and then a shimmering fairy shoots past you… warning you of the trouble ahead. You press on.
You push some branches out of the way. A black panther greets you with a roar. Your heart thumps against your chest. His eyes are filled with fear… He pleads with you to turn around. Still you press on.
You found it! Inside the cave is the answer you seek. But outside, evil lingers. Waiting for you to come just a little closer and give up your right to be alive. Nevertheless… you press on.
Pain shoots through your body in a clean and eloquent wave. Your body falls effortlessly to the ground. Mercifully, the 4 months preparation affords you the opportunity to get up again. In agony… you press on.
You hear a crackling sound like a tree bending too far. Your legs burst forth in pain, as they shatter from the inside. Slowly you crawl into the cave, you can barely move but you press on.
Out of the darkness an outstretched hand appears. You reach out; the moment you touch you’re invigorated with energy and love. You have no idea who this hand belongs to, but you can't help falling deeper in love every passing second. You feel safe, secure, special, happy, blessed, and most of all... you feel loved.
As you eyes adjust to the dark, a face emerges… it can’t be… it’s you! Suddenly it all makes sense. Your value is not found in you, but in the people who love you. This magical place shows you what you are worth, by showing you how you look through the eyes of your loved ones. You stare at yourself. You feel what they feel… Finally you know how sacred your soul really is!
