They're ready to face this square-on. None of the current systems are getting to the root of the issue in the current model. Their biology has been affected on a cellular level, and that is now what's preventing the important work that they're trying to do.

Adam Roa's poem \"You Are Who You've Been Looking For\" reached over 250 million people. But before that poem existed, Adam spent 25 years emotionally shut down.
