So much light! So bright! For the first time you realize that the light hurts your eyes. How is that even possible? There used to be a lot of light around you, protecting you, warm, perfect and now it’s unbearable and painful?! You’re hurting, and you need to do something about it. The light floods your eyes each time you try to open them and then… something even more shocking happens! Air fills your lungs! The pain caused by that triggers your voice and you scream for the first time. You have found your voice, and with each breath, with each scream, it becomes louder and stronger! You want to fight it, you are confused. You forgot who you are, why you are here, you feel the need to just scream from the bottom of your lungs. And you scream! Again, and again, and again!

Your eyes become a little bit more used to the piercing light. You are trying to cool down, assess the situation, understand what has happened. You find that even breathing becomes easier, more silent, satisfying and even pleasant. There is a fog around you, a fog of light but with tiny little things moving around. You try to quiet down a few seconds, to grasp the noises those little things do. Some appear to scream, just like you did not long ago. Some are smoother and more soothing. Some of the things actually glow! Others… are dark.

The most beautiful light surrounds you, in the most familiar way: warm, gentle, calming, comforting. You feel at home again and for a short while, it even seems like a dream. Like you are going to wake up back home, in middle of the perfect light. But this light has limbs… What? THIS light can actually change shape? Move? Run over your body in the most calming way? What kind of light is this? It seems that the light emerges from a thing, moving through the fog. You wonder what this is, while also wanting some more of its touch. The light comes along with some noises. The nicest sound waves you have ever heard! It makes you want to cry, for all the things you kept inside, for all that you have been through in the last couple of hours. You know that the light embracing you is not the one from which you came, but it feels like it’s part of it, being sent here especially for you. It’s hugging you and you feel protected. Even if you are not home anymore, in the arms of this light, you can go anywhere.

The light around you hugs and kisses you. Your own light is glowing more than ever. Now, as part of this material world, your light casts away shadows all around, realizing for the first time its dimension and possibilities. You are here with a purpose, and that is to shine as bright as you can! And for this, you have everything you will ever need: your own light and the lights surrounding you!

Welcome! You have just been hugged by your mother! You are on Earth! You have been born!

The infinite became finite.
