How You Evolve
Written by Steven S. Sadleir
Human beings have been evolving for millions of years. In the last few decades we have evolved considerably: growing taller, living longer and developing greater brain density. The last part of our brain to develop is the area at the top of the head, and in this space, the crown of your skull, is where the frontal and temporal lobes reside. It is in this part of your brain that the latent memory of who you are and why you were born is stored. This part of your brain is the seat of your latent faculties of higher awareness, your sense of "Self," and the memory of your life purpose. The answers you seek lie here.
In meditation you put our attention at that point between the eyebrows, or "third eye." As your body's life force energy is directed there it stimulates your pituitary and pineal glands, releasing peptides. As these glands are stimulated through focused awareness it induces a biological "relaxation response" that lowers your brain wave frequency quite naturally, and calms and quiets your mind. It also begins to activate the part of your brain that is still developing and still evolving to reach its highest potential. By consciously awakening your consciousness through meditation your consciousness evolves more quickly. It is a matter of your body and mind downloading the presence of your own spirit to realize your own true nature. The answers already lie within you; you are destined to awaken.
As you focus your attention on your own life force, or spirit, you develop inner clarity, happiness and peace. You also become attuned to your own life force energy, or spirit, it becomes more familiar to your mind and your mind begins to "realize" your own true nature as spirit. Not an "understanding" but, rather, a "realization." The more connected you become with your Self, the more clarity, happiness and peace you will experience. The more your consciousness awakens, the more clearly you see how you are being guided to realize your full potential and how you are fulfilling your life purpose. This is already happening innately as you reflect on this in this moment.
Your spirit led you to read this. You have been called. You are part of a small, but rapidly growing segment of the population that is awakening to full self-realization. The Self Awareness Institute is a gathering place for those who are awakening. In the last month over 10,000 people have join us. A little more than half of these people are from the United States, followed by the United Kingdom, India and Canada. We just had over 100 people from South Africa sign up, as well as individuals from over 117 countries including United Arab Emirates, People's Republic of China, Uganda, Ukraine, Uruguay, Uzbekistan and Zimbabwe. Welcome. May the whole world live in happiness and peace.
From the heart, Steven S. Sadleir, Director
