Science suggests the cause of evolution is random changes in DNA from by ionizing radiation coupled with natural selection.  This is largely the view of the scientific community despite the fact there is no scientific evidence for the random genetic variation from parents to offspring.

 

  • What happens to the survival rates of offspring with errors in their genetic code?
  • What are the odds of random genetic variations creating a positive outcome vs. a negative outcome?

 

Due to the complexity of DNA and the resulting proteins, randomness from one generation to the next would almost always have either no effect or a negative result leading to failure of the species, not improvement/evolution.

 

Mimicry

 

There are butterflies with patterns on their wing that resemble predators.  The patterns serve to keep predators away from the butterfly by mimicking a larger predator.  This is known as Batesian mimicry (named for English naturalist Henry Walter Bates).

 

Mimicry has arisen in more that one form on planet Earth.  Spend some time looking at the various forms of mimicry.  Could they possibly be the result of randomness or did some form of intelligence have to be involved? 

 

If butterfly wing patterns used to randomly change looking for a successful pattern, what caused the patterns to stop changing?  Successful evolutionary patterns like mimicry and camouflage repeat themselves in many diverse places on the planet.

 

Make Brown Eyes Blue

 

Less melanin in the iris of the eye results in blue eyes in humans.  Science uses DNA analysis to trace the source of blue eyes to a genetic mutation occurring 6,000 to 10,000 years ago in a single individual.

 

The world wide population then was probably between 5 and 10 million, making this individual .00002% of the population.  How did this recessive trait appear about a billion people (between 10 and 19% of the population) today?

 

The reality is a bit more complicated than we learned in school.  There are more than two eye colors and there is more than one gene associated with eye color.  It’s not as simple as Mendel’s peas.  But there does appear to be a force that moves species towards diversity.

 

Consequences of the Gaia Mind

 

The Planet Earth is living organism.  The name Gaia is often used to describe the Earth in this context.  The Gaia consciousness is a collective of energy that we can not see and can seldom sense its effects on us.

 

Dreams have more than one purpose.  But there is a secret purpose of dreams that occurs during Slow Wave Sleep (SWS).  Our brains reach the Delta brain wave state and connect to the Gaia consciousness, downloading our day’s experiences to the collective.  This is the same brain wave state during which Yogi Masters report profound experiences.  And when we are deprived of sleep, there is sharp rebound of SWS, suggesting a need for it; a purpose to it.

 

The memories of Planet Earth are called the Akashic Records; also referred to as the “Hall of Records”.  This isn’t a physical place but a metaphorical place.  It only exists as unseen energy.  It contains the experiences of every living thing on the planet since the beginning of time.  Psychics and mystics talk about this place and the things they learned there.

 

The Cause of Evolution

 

The Gaia mind not only has memories.  It also thinks and has a purpose.  Its purpose is to grow, evolve and spread.  The thoughts of the Gaia are the intelligence behind evolution.

 

I’m sure the Gaia consciousness uses a suitable mundane physical mechanism to cause the genetic changes in the offspring, such as ionizing radiation from space.  But when we find the mechanism and study its effects, we will find that that it almost always creates positive effects… resulting in evolution.

 

 

Regular meditation leads to better physical and mental health.  This has been proven by numerous scientific studies.  The amazing part is the benefits can be achieved in two 20 minute sessions per day.  And it will be the most serene and blissful you feel all day.

 

As I practiced meditation, I created more harmony in my life.  Meditation became a regular part of my existence.  As I continued along the way I found something more, something that deserves to be shared.

 

Buddhists and Hindus speak of a state of consciousness called non-thought.  My experiences have convinced me the meaning of the words non-thought has been lost.  It does not mean to have no thoughts.  It means to set aside your regular thinking so that another way of thinking can step forward.

 

With a reasonable effort, we all have the capability to learn to reach deep and powerful states of mind.  This is a place where intelligence and intuition merge; where the speed of though increases and miraculous things are possible.  I believe groups practicing this skill have the power to transform the individuals involved, as well as society around them.

 

Our world is starting to enter a period of profound change.  The writing is on the wall.  Will humanity see the changes and transform itself?  Or will we try to maintain the status quo until the moment and let the chips fall where they may.  The end result depends on us. 

 

You must be the change you want to see in the world.” - Mahatma Gandhi.

As humans, we think of ourselves as the most intelligent beings we are aware of, outside of God.  But the truth is we live on a planet that is also a living, thinking organism made of energy.  The planet Earth is often called Gaia when used in this context.  Thinking of our planet this way is an alien thought.  There are individuals throughout history who have become aware of of this planetary consciousness.

Understanding Gaia

The human body is a collective of cells that work in concert for one whole being.  We have five senses.  We gather information and interact with the world around us.  The information gathered is transmitted from the skin cells and retina cells via the nervous system to the brain.  Our lifetime of experiences is collected in the brain.  We also have thoughts in our brains, often related to our experiences.

Gaia is also a living organism that follows a similar pattern.  The planet may appear very different, but look closer.  There are certain universal patterns that repeat as we move from the world of the micro to the world of the macro, moving from atoms to galaxies.  Here are some similarities that are not exact but are a place to start thinking about: 

  • The earth regulates its temperature while floating in space.
  • The earth “breathes” in a way.  The planetary carbon dioxide (CO2) levels raise and lower with the seasons due to trees in the Northern Hemisphere getting more or less sun.
  • The surface of the Earth is 70% water.  The human body is about 70% water by volume.  Surely a coincidence but interesting.

The major difference between people and Gaia is that Gaia is a collective of energy that requires people to function as it’s senses.  Human beings are essentially the sensory of the planetary collective just like skin cells and retina cells are the sensory for people.  The mechanism that transfers those experiences to Gaia is the central nervous system.  We move around the planet and collect experiences and the data is transferred to the collective.

I doubt that the individual cells of our body are aware of the collective just like as people are seldom aware of the planetary collective.

The Akashic Records and Gaia’s Five Senses

Edgar Cayce said his information came from the Akashic Records which he also called the “Hall of Records.”  This isn’t a physical library but a metaphorical place.  It exists only as a type of energy.  And since energy can never be created or destroyed, only changed in form, it is a collection of all the experiences of every living thing on Earth since the beginning of time.  Psychics often use the word frequency to describe this type of energy.

The Akashic Records are essentially the memory of the Gaia.  The thoughts, actions and experiences of all living things that have occurred on this planet throughout time are stored here.  If the planet Earth is alive then it must have a way to collect information; it must have senses just like humans.  Here are ways some Gaia receives information and populates the Akashic Records:

1. Dreams

During Slow Wave Sleep, when the brain waves slow to the Delta state, an energetic connection is made between our brain and the Gaia consciousness.  Our daily experiences are transmitted to the collective.  Similar to the way a person with a laptop connected via Wi-Fi can upload a new file to the Internet.

2. Thoughts 

Thoughts are energy; but not a type of energy we can currently measure with science.  Some interesting experiments have been performed using instruments to measure how thoughts affecting plants.  Unfortunately most people’s thoughts are too unorganized and chaotic to have much effect on our reality.  But a major global event can focus the thoughts of millions of people. This can create a significant change in the consciousness of the planet.  For example, hundreds of millions of people watching Hurricane Katrina or the events of September 11 unfold on television. 

3. Sunlight

Our sun is a more than a source of heat and light.  It is a significant source of communication from the Universe (also known as God).  Sunlight is coded with frequencies from God that tell life to grow, proliferate and evolve.  The sun is not an internal source of information for Gaia like human experiences or thoughts but an external source. People feel things like hunger and love inside our bodies; different from feeling objects outside our bodies. The planet can also feel both inside and outside itself. 

4. Passing 

When we are born, at the moment we leave our mother’s energy field, unseen energy from Gaia enters our body.  The body is really just a set of metaphorical clothes for this energy being inside of us.  We could not experience everything this dimension has to offer if we only existed as energy.  After a lifetime of living and growing and experiencing, we pass away.  When we pass, that energy and other energy collected during life leave and return to the collective.

5. Starlight 

Just as our sun provides a method of communication from the Universe to the life on Earth, the stars provide a network of communication throughout the universe for God.  The speed of this communication is slow because the distances are so vast. But energy consciousness beings have a different concept of time. We are made of living cells and we have a finite lifespan.  Energy does not have a finite life. This vast network of stars was viewed by people more readily in earlier times. Now the Earth is covered by lighted cities which made the stars harder to see.  But just because we do not see the starlight as much, does not mean it is not there, carrying out its job.
