Once upon a time there was a planet. The planet was beautiful. Everything was just right. The distance from the sun was just right. The size of the one moon was just right. The fact that the axis of the planet tilted a bit created seasons, which were just right.
All was there to sustain and nourish life. And the planet was swarming with the most unbelievable forms of life.

Earth was the most beautiful planet in its region of space.

On the planet was a special kind of life, more miraculous than anything on and about the planet. This form of life was called the human race. Humans had a beautiful, ingenious body, capable of adapting to almost any situation. The brain of humans was evolved into a wonder of its own. Humans not only had the ability to learn things very quickly, but the learned, when practiced or experienced often, could become automatic and unconscious, enabling humans to focus on new things.

That great ability also had a downside. It was difficult to enjoy current things for long. Humans were seekers. They were constantly looking for more. More things, more experiences, more acknowledgement, more of anything.
Humans could never be in the here and now. Because the human brain was always looking for the next thing to do or experience in the future. Or, if there was nothing more to experience anew, humans would dwell in the past. Having regrets that they didn't notice the experienced more.

Because of that, the people lost sight of their beautiful planet. They took one of the greatest wonders of the universe for granted. They couldn't see it anymore, because they thought they'd already seen it. They didn't notice their own body anymore, because the focus was on the external. Accumulate.

And so, only the more remained for humans. More was the only thing humans had, so they decided that having more than another human, made you a better person.
If the more diminished for some reason, it had to be compensated. Taking it back or, if not possible, making others have less too in any way conceivable.

In a fact, they were the more.

After ages, an underground movement came into being. Realizing that everything in your life is happening in the now and that the 'normal' way of thinking was in fact insane. They also realized that they were much more than the more. Recognizing that they came from a place far beyond that, a place of silence without sound. They realized they were here to experience silence through sound. Consciousness through unconsciousness.
