“The Universe is saying, ‘allow me to flow through you unrestricted, and you will see the greatest magic you have ever seen.”- Klaus Joehle

Our only real task, mission, purpose, whatever you want to call it, we have here on Earth is to create. In fact, our entire life is just one big piece of art that we are creating as we go along. Source energy is in a state of constant creation. We are a fraction of source energy, so we are also in this state at all times, whether we know it or not.

On a large scale we are creating our life, but we also are creating in our day to day lives. It may come in the form of writing, painting, cooking, making music, or even just interacting with other people. We are creating stories, circumstances, feelings, physical activity etc… Although every single one of us is an artist to some extent or another, those that actually consider themselves artists know that by getting out of their heads and creating from their awareness purely, they are able to experience a state of transcending thought, which allows them to create some of their best and most divinely inspired works.

“Your task is not to seek for love but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” ~ Rumi

Love is the most powerful force in the universe, and in actuality, it is what we are, in our truest essence. As our ego begins to develop as a young adult we start identifying with it, instead of the love that we actually are. In this identification with our ego, we buy into the illusion that we must seek outside of ourselves for this love.

The further we drift from our own light and love that is already within us, the more we seek validation from another human being. As long as someone else is telling us how wonderful we are or how much they like us, we can feel worthy as a person. However, when we make another person the pure reason for our happiness, we also are giving them the power to be our demise...

“It takes tremendous courage to resist the lure of appearances. The power of being which is manifest in such courage is so great that the gods tremble in fear of it.” – Paul Tillich

No matter how long we’ve been traveling on the wrong road, we can always cut a new path toward a healthier one. There is always an opportunity to change course. One of the more powerful ways of changing course is to live more moderately. In a fast-paced world filled with faster-paced gadgets connecting us to vast amounts of information with faster and faster speeds, the time has never been more critical to moderate our lives. The lighter our load, the lighter we will feel. The less we own of the world, the more we are able to relate to the world. Indeed, the lighter we become, the more our inner light will shine.

Ownership is a tricky concept. We never really “own” anything. It’s borrowed, at best. And the more thing-things-things that pile up in our lives, the sharper our dissociation to reality becomes, and the more alienated we feel. Even the gadgets that connect us seem to separate us somehow, as the illusion of connection overwhelms and suppresses the need for it.

Science cannot evolve without change, and there is a dire need for change in its fundamental philosophy. The Oxford Dictionary defines materialism as “the doctrine that nothing exists except matter and its movements and modifications”.

Materialism is the paradigm of scientific philosophy under which the vast majority of contemporary scientists operate. It is essentially the belief that everything can be explained in physical terms, and that there is no need to explore anything further.

Why are most scientists operating within this doctrine when science has already demonstrated many examples of non-physical phenomena? Well, our mainstream science culture certainly tends to reflect materialist values in media such as internet articles and websites, television shows and news...
