It is impossible for materialistic scientists to explain human consciousness in any kind of meaningful way. These individuals believe there is only matter and no transcendental consciousness or divine reality which sustains the physical world. Thus, they claim that human awareness is nothing more than the coincidental artifact of electrical and chemical impulses in the brain’s synapses. According to this construct of reality, our experiences of love and joy, grief and sadness, freedom and fulfillment have no real substance or significance; they are merely neurons firing in the brain. The good news is that enlightened scientists and the world’s mystics say otherwise. They know that “Consciousness” gave rise to matter and guided the process of evolution, ultimately resulting in our capacity for embodied awareness. What does this understanding mean for you and me on a day-to-day basis? We are conscious beings, gifted with a mind that transcends circumstances, the brain, and even karma. Because we are conscious beings, we get to choose every day how we are going to respond to life’s challenges and opportunities. We get to choose what we are to become. We get to choose love over hate, hope over despair, and faith over fear. Like God, we have the capacity to bring life-supporting order out of the forces of chaos. Being a human being is a great gift indeed.
Beloved Divine Mother,
Because I am made
In your image,
I get to choose
Love over hate,
Hope over despair,
And faith over fear.
