We live to learn. We acquire wisdom through day-to-day existence. Each one of us. We're constantly enriching our own common sense. That's the natural disposition of human beings. We exist to be open and curious. To ask questions, to discover new things, to have fresh experiences. We can live only if we breathe; we feel alive only if we're free and comfortable to move with the ever changing flow.
Alas, there's also another force operating in this physical realm: the densification of matter. The heavier the object, the stronger the pull of gravity. An apple will fall down much faster than a leaf. To be able to walk on this planet, and enjoy it, the Earth Angels needed to put on some weight. The cosmic forces obliged, and set in motion an incredible endeavor. They carefully crafted an amazing organism called apes, using the method of evolution. Or rather, a very sophisticated system of trial and error. When these highly evolved mammals reached a particular point, consciousness was added to the mix. The sense of I AM. Voilà, the human race was born, and the process of conscious evolution in the physical body began. Observing, analyzing, planning, finding new solutions, from fire to rocket science, and everything in between. The aim is to fine-tune the conscious activity of the human mind to higher sensibilities: imagination, inspiration, intuition. When we achieve this level in human development, Earth Angels can enter the physical realm. Right now, they're just guiding us from the invisible ether, which surrounds the reality we can perceive by five human senses.
All they can do is guide us. Why? Because the awareness of self came with another gift: free will. We're free to choose the slow path of fine-tuning into angelic vibrations, or the fast route into constricting physicality. In a way, it isn't really fair, is it? How can we truly choose anything freely when the vast subconscious ocean of our psyche is pulling us down? Our conscious awareness is still but a tip of the iceberg. And it's being constantly attacked by fear. Can I stay afloat, or will I melt into the dark oceans?
Quicker and bigger is so appealing. If I understand Fritjof Capra's classic The Tao of Physics correctly, the faster the particles move, the denser the matter. This would then mean that the particles in a rock are very busy, whereas the particles in a feather move at a more leisurely pace.
"Beware the barrenness of a busy life," warns Socrates in a well known quote. Our minds are becoming denser because we're in the non-stop mode of processing the rapid feed of data on the technologically created web, and try to input our own info into it as fast and as much as we can. The human brain is not a computer. It's a live organism that needs air and blood flow to function. If the vessels are calcified, then oxygen cannot reach all the vital parts of the body. Through my own experience, I came to realize that the basic requirements for vibrant health are: breathe, relax, slow down.
If the purpose of human existence is death, then why do we resist it so stubbornly? Isn't the urge to live the most obvious sign that we are more than matter? The aim of human evolution is to consciously develop the highest cognitive capabilities of imagination, inspiration, intuition. We have been persistently guided on this path by our hearts and pure Love. Thank you, Earth Angels.
