Creation vs. Evolution

Creation vs. Evolution by Owen Waters Life is hard. Species can die. In fact, the human race would have died long ago if it weren't for the fact that our bodies are designed to adapt to a constantly changing environment. Evolution could be called adaptation, because the ability to adapt is the one feature that keeps all life upon Earth alive and functioning. In the laboratory, it has been noted that a frog can be heated in a beaker of water to a degree that would normally be fatal, but it remains alive because it has had the time to adapt to the increasing temperature. Had the frog been suddenly exposed to water of such high temperature, it would have been unable to survive. Charles Darwin, the pioneer of evolution theory, was a trained minister of religion as well as a naturalist. He thought long and hard about releasing his findings about the natural evolution of the species because he was keenly aware of the materialistic element in society which would use this informat

♥ Trust Yourself ♥

Trust Yourself "I never know what the next lesson is going to be, because we’re not supposed to know; we’re supposed to trust ourselves to discover it." -- Melody Beattie How deeply do you trust your own guidance? Always trust that you know what's best for you. To move forward in your life, gather information from the 'experts,' consider how their advice relates to your situation and then act only on what feels right for you. What does your whole being (mind, body and soul) say ‘Yes!’ to? You are the only expert for your own life. "I trust so much in the power of the heart and the soul; I know that the answer to what we need to do next is in our own hearts. All we have to do is listen, then take that one step further and trust what we hear. We will be taught what we need to learn." -- Melody Beattie "Ultimately, we must learn to trust ourselves. When we do this intimately and intelligently, the world opens full of meaning before us. We f

Shifting Consciousness

Shifting consciousness "The world we are experiencing today is the result of our collective consciousness, and if we want a new world, each of us must start taking responsibility for helping create it." -- Rosemary Fillmore Rhea Below are 7 levels of consciousness that clearly outline a path for our evolving consciousness: - tribal and mass consciousness - one obeys the group and lives by trial and error - individual consciousness - one develops a stronger sense of self and ego - seeker’s consciousness - one asks questions and seeks independence - intuitive consciousness - one develops the heart and is becoming spiritually aware - group consciousness - one serves a higher good filling the needs of others - soul consciousness - one experiences spiritual service. On which level do you spend most of your time? What are you doing to shift to the next level of being? There are as many paths to understanding, awareness, peace, freedom, love and meaningful servi

Belief Makes Everything Possible

Belief Makes Everything Possible In order to succeed, you must first believe you can. The only thing that stands between you and what you want from life, is the will to try it and the faith to believe that it's possible. The only true limit to your realization of tomorrow will be your doubts of today. The moment you carry the conviction of belief, in that moment your dream will become reality. If you think you can, you can.  TheDailyMotivation.com  

The Doorway to the Meaning of Life

  The Doorway to the Meaning of Life by Owen Waters Wandering through life looking for its meaning can be a heart-rending task. You begin life looking to your parents for meaning, then to your teachers and friends until, one day, you're grown-up, educated, and still clueless. You stand there, thinking that there has to be a reason why you're here on this earth because you are constantly haunted from within by a sense of knowing that a reason really does exist. If only you could remember what it was. At some point in your life, you look up from the hypnotizing clamor of daily existence and seek meaning in that which is above the physical realm of existence. In that moment, when your attention is focused on whatever higher consciousness may bring, you are receptive to new ideas and new information. My life has been spent in pursuit of the awareness that there is a whole universe of discovery within each person's higher awareness, just waiting to be e
