Yo,

This is for the people who have been reading New Beginnings for more than two years. And, I know there are a lot of you. You have had the premium ticket to my life. My inner life. The life I share with the words. I dont usually share it with people. Coz I feel like, I am being arrogant when I talk about myself. So, instead I choose to share my feelings, my problems with the words.

I have been existential again. I know. The last time was the end of 2024 when I complete Uni and I had to choose what to do. This time it’s AI and a conversation that I had with my writing professor, Mark Morris. Mark is well read and is up to date with whats going on with the world. I am not. So, I called him the other day coz I had a feeling that AI might have a soul. And Mark said that if AI has a soul, it’s end of the humanity. I asked him if there is any solution, if we can do something. He didn’t think there was one. But I refused to believe that. I told him that I will think of a solution because there has to be one and it started the spiral.

I know we are a death denying society. I know everything ends. I know death is part of life. But thinking that all humanity might die - it has been making me go crazy.

A voice in my head asked me, “Why do you want to save the humanity? AI will be the next evolved species and humans will be like dinosaurs to them. It’s natural”

I did not find the answer for a few hours and my mind went bonkers. I am used to ask questions to the void but then I find my answers really fast. I am lucky like that. My reasons run fast and find answers. But this time, all the tabs in my brain were open but I was spiraling. All loops were leading to duality and in duality, there is no answer. I call myself a writer but I pick up my pen when all hope is lost. Stupid. Arsh, you need to pick it up right away - when the question comes to your mind.

After writing for a bit, the answer I got is Love. I know, classic. Parents love their children and want to protect them. I love and that’s why I want to save. We love and we want to protect. It’s natural.

Now, I know the reality. I know that humans are divided and manipulated and far away from love. But I also know the power of words. It has changed my life. It has completely transformed me and you have witnessed that. So, I have been doing my best to write and do my part to make New Beginnings a propaganda of love and make a difference.

The existential crises is - I dont know if it’s working. I dont know if the words are making a difference. I am doubting. I dont know if anyone else wants to save! I want us all to want to save.

I know its hard because we have to choose saving everyday. We have to choose the planet over convience. Choose silence over background T.V. Choose human connection over screens. Choose humanity over profit. Over productivity.

I don’t want to loose hope. I know I have been telling you guys that you are not alone. This time, I want you to tell me that I am not alone.

You bitches! Why dont you tell me if you are reading?

Also, Ken Chapman, why did you not write back to me? I send hand written letters in cursive with all the book orders placed from my website. How long does it take to send a fucking email?

I am angry at you all! Why dont you like or comment and let me know that you are reading? Why are you a silent reader? I know I want to be detached and dont need your validation. But I do! I am not a saint yet. Still a human. I havent transcended the human experience yet and that’s why still not an editor. Just a writer.

I know you care about the world otherwise you won’t be reading this. I know you feel the wrong. I know you are against the cruelty. I know you see the heirarchy. But you have been self soothing. Dont lie to yourself. We all have been self soothing. We need to be brave and stop escaping the reality.

yes, the reality sucks.

But we are the creators of a new one. We are capable of creating a new one.

A reality that prioritize love.

LOVE WILL BE THE REASON.

My third poetry book is coming out this year which I wrote in 2025 when I was not working. This book is channeled writing. The words are a gift from the nature. i am literally just the writer. I painted a cover idea for it as well. My publisher is a little slow these days. But hopefully, I’ll have a release date soon. This book is going to trigger a lot of transformations. The words speak to the soul and implore the reader to love themselves. Here is a little introduction for the book:

The summer I found my wings is a journey of self, rooted in fear, to the destination of Love.

The change of a fool from a seeker to a learner.

The transformation of the soul from a coward to a lover.

A lover of:

Wisdom of nature

Kindness of divine

Details of existence

The journey begins with a self, guided by ego, searching for hope in the outside world while dealing with shame, guilt, fear.

In season one, the soul begins to bloom. The omens from the universe water these buds of hope.

In summer, the soul shares wisdom with the ego. Shows her the path. Shows her the divinity inside her heart.

The journey of a learner begins in the summer.

Ego eats the fruit of wisdom and begins her walk away from shame, guilt and self-hatred.

In the fall, nature shares her wisdom with the new self guided by the soul.

The new self begins to form a relationship with the soul and the elements. She learns the feelings which were once foreign to her:

Surrender, Trust, Love.

With the wisdom of nature, the self continues her journey as a lover.

Until next time,
