WHO ARE WE - AND WHY ARE WE HERE?

HOW CAN A SUPPOSEDLY ALL KNOWING AND UNCONDITIONALLY LOVING GOD ALLOW PAIN, SUFFERING, CRUELTY AND CONFLICT?

Based on extensive research, what I see taking place around me and what those I meet are saying and doing, what I am reading, and personal experience, I am convinced that this is one of the most significant times ever in all of human history to be alive, and that the world is entering a period of profound transformation which for many will result in a paradise -- literally Heaven here on Earth!

This is a time when humanity is clearly awakening spiritually and moving into a new paradigm, or way of being -- a time of vibrant health, happiness, inner peace, and prosperity. This makes sense -- why would we want to continue what we are experiencing when we can now work together to create something much better?

What were very real potentials -- foreseen in Biblical prophesy -- of an Armegeddon, or disasterous end of humanity sometime in 2000 or 2001 at the latest -- clearly have changed.

What was leading to this event -- the arms build up during the Cold War -- ended when both American and Russian citizens said, "enough" and the Soviet Union collapsed shortly thereafter without a shot being fired in 1988.

Yes, there is a lot surfacing now for examination and healing, but when ever before in history have leaders been held so accountable - largely due to the free flow of information on the Internet -- that they are offering apologies?

Yes, too, there are now, and will continue to be Earth changes, but working together to accomplish personal and planetary healing is infinitely preferable to an Armegeddon.

Statistics overwhelmingly support what I am is saying. In a 2002 U.S. News/PBS’s Religion & Ethics Newsweekly poll, nearly two thirds of Americans surveyed say that religion is very important in their lives, and close to half say that they attend worship services at least once a week -- the greatest number since the 1960’s. The same study shows that there is a radical shift in where and how Americans are worshiping.

More than four out of five say that they have “....experienced God’s presence or a spiritual force” close to them, and 46 percent say that this has happened many times.

“People are reaching out in all directions in their attempt to escape from the seen world to the unseen world,” explains George Gallup, Jr. in an article printed in U. S. News & World Report (May 6, 2002). “There is a deep desire for spiritual moorings -- a hunger for God.”

Awakening in America ®, however, with its fast paced, and often stressful life, and attachment to materiality can be a real challenge -- or a great Adventure in Awareness!

Those that have awakened -- the Saints, and others -- tell us that the Earth is a very special place. Those that come here do so voluntarily for the unique experiences of unlimited creativity and unlimited free will while having their true nature temporarily hidden from them.

Most modern humans rise to a level of consciousness -- or awareness -- where they receive and believe what comes to them through their five senses and are dominated by their ego and intellect.

Far from being indifferent, God, -- the source of all truth and information for mastering the experience of life on Earth -- is always with us, although initially only as the subtlest whisper of intuitive feelings -- and often ignored.

Making life choices without this guidance, therefore, is the reason for most human suffering and awakening, therefore, provides tremendous satisfaction and a sense of mastering the human experience and "winning the game!"
