About

Imagine a serene valley known for a unique tradition that has been part of its culture for centuries: gentle wishing.

In this community, wishes are considered sacred whispers of the heart, a private conversation between the soul and the fabric of the universe. The people believe that every wish, when made, represents a delicate seed of intention that needs to be released with care and genuine gratitude.

When people in this town harbor a specific desire, they stand outside in nature with eyes closed and hearts open. They take a moment to feel the wish, to let it fill their being, taking care not to grasp it too tightly. They know that the intensity of longing—or the fear of not receiving—could scare the wish away.

When the moment feels right, they release the wish. As the wish disappears into nature, it settles into the loving embrace of the universe.

To make a gentle wish is to believe in the unseen, to understand that we are all part of a greater whole, interconnected and interwoven. This sacred act of gentle wishing reinforces our connection to each other, to the world, and to the universe itself.

The practice of gentle wishing is a testament to the power of hope, the strength of faith, and the profound beauty of letting go.

I’m Bruce Kasanoff, founder of this site. I believe we are one consciousness, spread across the universe. You are not separate, even though it often feels that way.

Here’s my best guess about how we got to this point.

What happens when a single consciousness divides itself into nearly infinite pieces?

Each piece inherits a different set of constraints. Some can move easily. Some can barely move at all. Some can reproduce. Some can’t. Some can sense widely. Some sense narrowly. Some can communicate across distance. Some feel locked inside silence. Each piece faces a different relationship with time, with self-control, with learning, with change.

Now imagine this division isn’t a mistake. Imagine it’s an experiment the intelligence is running in order to learn what it is.

P.S. That intelligence is you.
