Creation vs. Evolution
Written on February 7, 2010 at 12:47 am, by lfpnet
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 information against religion. He was right, of course.
Others used his work to claim that there was no need for divine selection when natural selection occurs automatically. They have since gone on to claim that all life could have risen from prehistoric sludge completely by accident. What they don’t even begin to explain, however, is the existence of consciousness in all of this.
Consciousness is necessary for natural selection and adaptation to occur. If you move from a hot climate to a cold climate, you will adapt to the new environment, but first you had to have the consciousness to decide upon the move.
What is consciousness? It is certainly more than a few electrical signals bouncing around inside a brain. Computers can mimic some limited aspects of the brain such as human logic, but they are not self-aware. There isn’t a computer in the world that can think for itself. Computers just follow sets of preset rules, and they do so as quickly as possible.
Beneath all forms of consciousness is awareness. A sense of being is fundamental to all life because all life is constructed from consciousness. Even a solid object like a rock is composed of original thought and original feeling set into motion. All of life is contained within the consciousness of the original Creator, including the prehistoric sludge from which the first biological cells were formed.
Materialistic science today is in a cul-de-sac. There is no way forward for branches of science which fail to include consciousness in their theories. Consciousness is the most fundamental aspect of life. You can’t have a universe without it.
Human beings were originally designed and then evolved within the framework of a conscious universe, one created and developed by the original Creator. It took billions of years for planets to form and biological life to emerge and evolve, but remember this: Time is a creation of the Creator.
The Creator does not have to wait billions of years to see a biological process emerge. Everything happens in the now, just in different parts of the tapestry of time, which the Creator sees as a whole.
The whole design, inception, development and evolution of the universe is happening right now, within that overview, as seen by the original Creator. A little tweak here and there along the timeline can produce a perfect rendition of any form of biological life. Life is too interesting to create in one big bang and then just watch it unfold, as if on auto-pilot. Life is a work in progress, a true work of art, and the Creator has the ability to make adjustments at any point along the timelines.
Science today searches for answers, but what it really needs is a valid search path. Life did not begin by accident. It began by design. Those branches of science which include the presence of consciousness will find the answers that they seek when they include the existence of original consciousness and intelligent design in their search.

Deciding to be Happy
Written on February 5, 2010 at 10:04 am, by lfpnet
A Message From VERONICA
“In the linear life many obstacles occur to diminish the quality of experience that most aspire to. Out of ignorance or lack of focus that which we most wish to occur does not or becomes somewhat elusive in its blending into our lives.
The decision to be happy occurs at many levels. An abrupt close to the surface one [i.e., a decision to be happy] usually results in failure because of the lack of introspection involved. Happiness is not something that is available upon a whim. It is a thought process that begins internally at an unconscious level triggered by an emotional desire in the conscious level.
In many cases the definition of happiness currently employed by your psyche is inaccurate and delusional. It is important to understand that the decision to be happy consciously also embraces the idea well beneath the conscious level.
The layers of drama associated with your current life often blur the true seed of happiness within yourself.
Again, finding happiness does come with the decision to be so. Often it is not what you thought it would be at all. We suggest that if you find yourself forever out of touch with happiness that you stop whatever pattern you are creating and be still for a moment. Simply by stopping the flow of energy there will be a moment of clarity where the fog will lift.
Your energy always has the focus of happiness at hand. One simply has to be truthful about the definition of that happiness. Allow your soul to emerge to the surface of this current linear life. If nothing else is working what is there to lose besides the abundant unhappiness that you are currently experiencing?”

A Gift from our Beloved Archangel Michael
Written on February 4, 2010 at 8:45 pm, by lfpnet
Hello Dear Ones,
Here is a gift from our beloved Archangel Michael. May you enjoy great love, beauty, bounty, peace, joy, and harmony. It is your Divine Birthright.
Love and Angel Hugs ,
Rev. Michelle Coutant
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Ones,
Humanity has made great strides in recent times, accelerating the integration of new understandings, of new wisdom, of new clarity, through the increased frequency of the light being showered upon the planet. It is for this reason that you will find so many messages these days, to be messages of Love, for Love is the highest frequency. In the past, humanity at large was incapable of understanding that Love is the All, Love is the foundation of Creation. Humanity was steeped in the negativity of the third dimension, unable to allow this wisdom to filter into collective consciousness.
The portals are wide open at this time, and new understandings, new wisdom are available for all. Love heals all, Love makes all things new, and it is this understanding and knowing that will lift you up to the heights of the fifth dimension. The light of the fifth dimension is here upon the planet now, for you to incorporate, to mold into your most treasured desires for your highest good and the highest good of all. Humanity has reached a new level of consciousness and can now incorporate this wisdom.
You are the Starseed and the Wayshowers and the openers of the pathway for those coming behind you. Open your hearts to this elixir of life, this love light which is all around you. Breathe it in, and through you, into mother earth and radiate it out to all those around you, and to the world. You are a beacon of shining light, magnificent in your radiant glory. Shine, Dear Ones, shine in love and joy.
I am Archangel Michael and I bring you this truth.

The simple things in life are the real ones
Written on February 3, 2010 at 12:40 am, by lfpnet
A Message From
“On this day of your life, my friend, I believe God wants you to know that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.
Laura Ingalls Wilder said that, and she was right. This seems such simple stuff, such simplistic knowledge, yet when we truly embrace it as our living reality, our day-to-day lives begin to change in very important ways.
So take a look today and this evening at what sweet, simple things of life you may be looking past, or right over, and neither seeing nor enjoying. Look closely. They are likely to be right in front of your face — something you’re looking through every day.
Love, Your Friend….
Neale”

What do you want
Written on February 2, 2010 at 12:29 am, by lfpnet
A Message From
“How often do you focus on what you do want? How often do you think about what you don’t like?
Whatever you focus your attention on you get more of. Practice noticing how you are focusing your attention. When you find yourself worrying, shift gears and think about what you do want to create instead.
With lots of love and aloha,
Susan”

Message From Archangel Michael, February 2010

“The Eternal Now Moment”
Dear Ones,
The Now moment is the most important moment you will ever experience. It is so for this lifetime, it is so for every lifetime you have experienced on planet earth, it is so for all your magnificent journeys and travels through all of creation, throughout eternity. In the higher realms, there is no time. Time is an illusion of the third dimension. As you move through the fourth and into the fifth dimension, time is speeding up and will soon merge with the Still Point of creation. The still Point of creation is the eternal Now, the God moment, the All That Is. This moment is a moment of Love for all eternity. As you enter this moment of the Still Point you will find that time has ceased and was an illusion of the linear third dimension. In the eternal Now moment, everything happens all at once, everything is fluid and circular, just as you understand the circular flow or the Law of Circle in the third dimension. It is on a much grander scale when you are in the eternal Now moment. All life expands in this circular movement, ever expanding, ever changing, ever fluid.
As you learn to remain in the Now moment, you will find that you have expanded your personal power for creating. The Now moment is the only moment where you have power. We have told you this on many occasions. The past is complete, the future is yet to come, and the Now is the moment of the All That Is. When you hold your thoughts in the Now, you may then consciously choose, in this Now moment, to lift yourself up to the vibrations of the fifth dimension, the Elixir of Life, the vibrations of Love. Go into you Pyramid of Power in this heightened state, and create your miracles, Dear Ones. All of the joys, the gifts, the miracles of creation are awaiting you, but you must create for the highest good of all.
Be one pointed, and focused and never wavering from this Now moment. You will remain empowered, in Love, and in control of your thoughts and emotions. You will be able to rise above the illusion of the third dimension, the pain and suffering, and the fear. Do not look around you at all the fear and chaos occurring on your beloved earth. Look around you and see the changes that are bringing empowerment of free will to your brothers and sisters. Hold your thoughts upon the outcome for the highest good of all. Hold your thoughts upon awakening and ascension for all. Remain in the Now moment as you focus on this grand thought form.
You are making the game up as you go, Dear Ones. Only you ultimately decide the end results and the outcome of this glorious illusion of the game you have been playing. Only you can decide to experience the highest outcome possible and then go about your business each day, in the Now moment, holding this thought form for new creation.
The choice is yours Dear Ones, the eternal Now moment is available to each and every one of you. It is not awaiting you in the fifth dimension. It is the Now, in the Now. There is only this eternal Now. Place your focus in your heart center, and remain in this Now. When you find yourself wavering and distracted, simply say to yourself “return to center”. You will instantly bring yourself back into your heart center, into the Now moment.
All your greatest desires, your greatest hopes in alignment with your highest good are created effortlessly and easily when you remain focused, one pointed, in the Now moment. It is so simple Dear Ones, but you must take the time and diligently bring your Self back in to this Now moment when you stray.
Sit quietly, breathe deeply, and focus on this Now moment, in your Sacred Heart. Breathe deeply and expand this vibration of the Now, out to fill your field, through your heart center, front and back. Breathe the expansion of this moment down into mother earth. Breathe this Now moment into your expanded fields, yours and mother earth. Sit quietly and feel this expansion of the Now. When you are ready, breathe deeply and expand the vibrations of the Now out to all creation. Feel the expansiveness, the oneness with all creation in this Now moment. It is all there is, and it is the All That Is, and it is the Now, and you are this expansiveness. Sit quietly in the magnificence, for it is truly who you are. You are one with all creation.
I am ever near to guide you in this magnificence, this remembering of who you are as you return to your rightful place in the higher realms.
I Am Archangel Michael, and I bring you these Truths.

The New View of God
Written on January 31, 2010 at 12:57 am, by lfpnet
The New View of God
by Owen Waters
When I was a child in Sunday School classes, I was taught to view God as someone very personal. We were given an image of a human-like God who personally watched over each and every one of us. That was long before the Hubble Space Telescope started to show us how incredibly huge the universe is. In the decades since, our appreciation of the size of the universe has increased enormously. Likewise, our view of the size of God has increased enormously.
Today, we realize that God, as an omnipresent being, must be at least the size of the entire universe. By current estimates, the universe contains over a hundred billion galaxies, each one containing an estimated two hundred billion suns. That means that there are countless trillions of planets, each one filled with the all-pervasive presence of that which created them. This brings us to today’s prevalent spiritual dilemma.
With God’s presence being so far-reaching, how can there be any semblance of the personal attention that we were taught to expect from a father-like God image? Today, you are left wondering whether God is, (a) personal, or (b) so large in scale as to be infinitely impersonal. Surely, one idea would exclude the other.
Or would it? A paradox is something that contains opposite statements and yet both are true. The secret to solving paradoxes is to start using the word ‘and’ instead of ‘or.’ The question is not whether God is infinitely large or personal.The question becomes, how can God be infinite in size and personal as well?
The Paradox of Infinite Being
The answer lies within the Paradox of Infinite Being. The term Infinite Being is used here as the ultimate concept of God. The word Infinite, as in omnipresent. The word Being, as in omniscient awareness. Infinite Being is the perfect, unchanging consciousness behind all of Creation.
Because Infinite Being is consciousness, and nothing but consciousness, it is appropriate to note here that nothing in Creation is anything but consciousness in one form or another. Energy is simply a compressed form of consciousness set into motion. Matter is energy. Therefore matter is a form of consciousness. It can’t be any other way, because consciousness is the only tool with which Infinite Being has to work. We are a dream within the mind of the Creator. The universe was created within the consciousness of Infinite Being.
I remember being told in a science class at school that space must be infinite in size because there couldn’t be anything beyond the end of space; therefore, it had to go on forever. It didn’t sound right at the time, and now I know why. Space is actually finite, because it was created within Infinite Being. The created must be less than its creator, therefore space must be less than infinite. Beyond the envelope of space lies that which created it.
In order to create the universe, Infinite Being divided the ‘waters’ – its consciousness – into two aspects: Creator and Preserver. In the West, we are used to thinking of the Creator as God the Father, while the Preserver aspect is called the Holy Spirit. In the East, the names are different but the principles are exactly the same. For example, the Hindu name for the Creator aspect is Brahma, while Vishnu represents the aspect that preserves and sustains the universe. Stories of Creation from all over the world share the common thread of two complementary aspects coming together to bring light into existence.
The two aspects of Creator and Preserver were set into complementary motion in order to manifest the universe. Through the interaction of these two aspects of original consciousness, the universe was formed and, along with it, the capability for Infinite Being to view itself from an infinite number of viewpoints.
The human race today represents approximately seven billion different viewpoints of the one Source. According to the rules of the human adventure, we were born with spiritual amnesia. We have forgotten our inner connection. The challenge of the game is to discover and consciously reconnect with that to which, in reality, we are and always were connected. Self-awareness and free will are included in the rules of the game. The illusion of separateness from each other is created by an intense focus upon life in an outer, physical world, as viewed by the five senses. People are free to choose to interact with other people in the ways that they see best.
People can even choose to believe that they are separate from that ultimate Source to which they are connected. Atheism, therefore, is not a lack of belief. It’s a belief in something that isn’t so. If you have an inbuilt connection to God, yet believe that you don’t, you are expressing a belief, not a lack of one.
Mystics talk of experiencing a sense of oneness with the infinite while in deep meditation. Those who can go still deeper into the realms of consciousness report that there is more to it than just a feeling of oneness. Deep within, you aren’t so much an individual who is as one with Infinite Being. You are Infinite Being!
You are Infinite Being, observing itself through the one viewpoint that is you. You aren’t a part of Infinite Being. You are Infinite Being, acting from one specific point of view. Likewise, every sentient being is also Infinite Being, looking at itself from their own unique points of view.
The solution to the Paradox of Infinite Being is that, while we are a part of an immense universe of almost unlimited proportions, we are also Infinite Being itself. As you experience life through your eyes and ears and senses, you are Infinite Being, acting through yet another viewpoint of the infinite variety of life. Every fiber of your body is Infinite Being, every dream that you manifest is Infinite Being in action, every tear of joy that you shed in the finer experiences of life is a tear shed by Infinite Being in its form as you.
You can be closer to God than ever before when you realize that every part of your body, mind and spirit is God. Even in this strange world where we appear to be separate from everyone else, the conscious awareness of the presence of God is a mere thought away.
