I saw the world become filled with voices.

So many that man could no longer hear his own.

They told him what to desire. Whom to fear. 

Whom to become like. How much he was worth.

And slowly, he forgot his face.

But in the deepest place within his heart,

a tiny light was still burning.

Matrix had not seen it. No one had put it out.

It had always been there.

Then, in the silence of the night, a Voice:

Son…

The man stopped.

He did not know why, but tears trembled in his eyes.

He knew that Voice.

He had known it before his fears.

Before his wounds.

Before the world told him who he was supposed to be.

Son, remember Me. And you will remember who you are.

Then something within him came home.

He did not become stronger. He became free.

And other hearts began to stop and listen.

One. A hundred. A thousand. Entire peoples.

They were not following a man.

They were remembering a Father.

And I saw Matrix tremble.

For at last it understood what it had never been able to understand:

you can confuse a man’s mind.

You can wound his heart.

You can fill the heavens with noise.

But within every child there is a place

where the Father never stops calling them by name.

That is the place no one must ever possess.

That is where all freedom begins.

The Sovereignty of Conscience.

And if one day the world makes you forget who you are,

close your eyes. Be still. And listen.

Dad is still calling you.
