In the Beginning - E-book - ePub

If you pause for a moment and look out into space on a clear night, you will be reminded that there is something much more magnificent and extraordinarily greater than you and your life. This sense of something higher in consciousness often influences you, although you may not recognize it. While looking into deep space or deep within yourself, you will not realize the essence or intent of your life unless your mind is free of all agreements, beliefs, and opinions about what life is.
If you want to understand life, especially your life's meaning, you must be willing to challenge your conditioned mind. Despite many compelling ideas, theories, and beliefs about the beginning of life, no one truly knows how we came to be. Many religious and scientific institutions claim to know for sure, but this often exposes their righteous indignation for the other theories or beliefs. In the most straightforward explanation, leaving out all religious beliefs, superstitions, and assumptions, we know something spectacular happened a long time ago, which allowed us to be.
For me, this basic understanding of human origins is enough to motivate my search for meaning. For others, more evidence may be required.
