A lot might ask, what is the missing link?
Some might say, the missing link are creatures we all call Aliens, Big Foot or any of those mystic creatures we believed existed.
BUT.....Are they The Missing Link?
To me, the missing link is non of those mystic being above but you yourself. YES, you are the missing link.

BUT.....Are they The Missing Link?
To me, the missing link is non of those mystic being above but you yourself. YES, you are the missing link.
Why?
Well, the missing links are those that we all have not seen before but thought its always there. The missing link are those that we want to learn more about. The missing link is so huge so incredible that it can go anywhere and be anything.
So, aren't those statements stated make you relate to your mind, your brain, your imagination?
Your mind is always there but you could never see it.
Your brain is one of the organs that scientists want to learn more about.
And last but not least, your imagination is so huge so incredible that it can put you anywhere and be anything.
Without us giving meaning to the research and studies, 'The Missing Link' would not even exist.
We are the creators of the missing link, therefore we are the link.
Why did I have this crazy thought?
A few days ago I saw a documentary showing the old Chinese palace, The Forbidden City - 紫禁城.

It documented the roads China's past emperors used to step on, rooms the past king and queens used to live in, gardens and parks the people living in the palace use to discuss business or gossip about the other imperial concubines.
It is truly amazing!
It is truly amazing!
It then continued with a story of the emperors mother, Empress Lee - 李太后 also known as Empress Xiao Ding - 孝定太后.

She use to be a servant, but the king was so into her that he got intimate with her despite the other concubines he already had.
Then, she got pregnant and she was immediately promoted as an imperial concubine. After a decade, the king passed away and Imperial Concubine Lee's son was ask to be prince, and she got the title of 'Empress'.
Although she is the empress, she was not getting the respect she should be given due to her background of being a servant.
But she was so cleaver that she told everyone she dreamt about herself being the Nine Lotus Buddha - 九蓮菩薩 and she built a temple to worship the Buddha she 'dreamt' herself to become.

After that, people changed, as China is a superstitious country so people do not dare to challenge her, as she is then known as the living god.
I was inspired, and thought ‘WOW! She is awesome! I would want to be her no doubt'.
Then this is when I had the idea about us being the missing link.
Because of us giving meaning to the past, we have now able to trace back to those historical days and connect ourselves to the past.
Because we are able to imagine, we can be in both the past and the present.
If one is crazy enough, you can be in the past and the future. Those are the people like J.K Rowling, Steven Spielberg, James Cameron and more talented talented writers, directors, producers and anyone of you who are brave enough to explore your mind and have the adventure you always wanted with your eyes closed.
Like the Harry Potter series, Jurassic World, The Avatar and many more...these are creations of those who linked their mind and imagination to the past and the future using present technology and expressed it successfully through written words or movies.
We, then put ourselves into the situation and gave meaning to it by linking ourselves to the past and future as well.
But some say, histories make the present, and the missing links are those that makes the future. So how can we be THE missing link?
Try thinking it this way, because the missing link is no longer ‘missing', so it ain't the missing link any-more, its just The Link.
And aren't we suppose to be the link to the future? Aren't we making the future now?
Hence, if the link is to create future and we ARE indeed creating a future, what are we?...
