Who has not asked:
\n\u201cWhat am I doing here?\u201d
\nIn a moment of quiet despair
\nwho has not wondered \u201cwhy me?\u201d<\/p>\n
No one knows how life began. Many theories abound, but facts are scarce. Religion, science, even aliens are used to explain creation. However, if theories were facts they would not be theories. We can only look at the wonders of this world speculating how they came into being. We can only guess how the Universe was born, and by what power it was thrust into reality.<\/p>\n
It is simplistic to believe creation was chance and mankind only a fluke of fate. It is more logical to assume a \u201cHigher Intelligence\u201d put this world together. Religion attempts to describe this \u201cHigher Intelligence\u201d with many contradictory behaviors. One cannot rationally believe these man-made explanations.<\/p>\n
From the beginning of recorded history man has believed in life after death. Paintings on cave walls reveal cavemen believed. Where did this idea\/belief come from, how did mankind start to believe in life after death? It is possible they experienced themselves outside their body. Today, due to traumatic events folks have found themselves out of body and still very much alive. These experiences are called \u201cNear Death Experiences.\u201d It is estimated eight million people living in the U.S. have experienced this out-of-body phenomenon. <\/p>\n
What is within the human body that still exists after death? Is it conscious energy given by a Higher Intelligence? Is this conscious energy the real you \u2014 your personality, thoughts, beliefs and memory? We humans do not create this energy, nor can we destroy it. It is eternal. For simplicity we will call this energy \u201cconsciousness.\u201d A married couple can\u2019t create consciousness. They only create the mortal coil, or body in which it exists here on planet earth. If the body becomes unable to sustain consciousness, it returns to the non-physical.<\/p>\n
We come into the physical to grow into emotional maturity. We have to work at it every day. Watching our words and actions to insure we harm no one. The methods have been taught by Master Teachers. Jesus, Confucius, Krishna, and Buddha to name a few. The methods are: love your enemies, forgive those who use and\/or exploit you, return good for evil, and help those in need. Your wealth or position in the physical matters not one whit. If you\u2019re like most, you\u2019ll not feel the value until after you try. It is infinitely worthwhile.<\/p>\n
