In each life, an ominous Specter looms, ready to toss us into the Dark Unknown. To the religious, this may appear as the Darkness that follows Death and precedes eternal judgment. To the atheist – eternal nothingness. To the spiritual seeker, the Void – the final release from the death-throes of the Ego. But to all, the Darkness is total and the outcome Uncertain.

When one casts their eyes into the terrible blackness of the Pit, a deep and primal fear arises. We imagine cold, rushing winds ripping at our bodies as we tumble helplessly into the impenetrable and endless darkness.

And yet, no matter how stubbornly we avert our eyes, for each of us, the Pit awaits.
