We call the Consciousness that created our universe "the Creator" because all form is first preceded by consciousness.

Most of us have no trouble accepting this concept, but rarely do we move to the next logical step and think about the deeper implications of this simple reality.

Over the last 14.7 billion years the universe has slowly evolved from extremely hot hydrogen gas of the Big Bang into stars and galaxies, solid matter, the emergence of life, and eventually human consciousness.

About 35,00 years ago the consciousness of the human species evolved into what we call reflexive consciousness…….we became a species conscious of our own consciousness.

As humans, we were no longer forced to evolve at the glacially slow pace of biology…..we now had the ability to evolve as a species at whatever pace we could imagine simply through the evolution of our individual and collective consciousness.

If we could imagine it in our minds, we could create it.

Because all form is first preceded by consciousness, humanity suddenly possessed the same power to create as the Creator of our universe.

We are just now beginning to understand the incredible creative power of human consciousness.

Quantum physics is teaching us that simply focusing our consciousness on experiments using photons and other sub-atomic particles can significantly alter the outcome of those experiments.

In just 35,00 years we have evolved to a point where we now have the ability to create life itself and we will soon have the ability to alter our DNA and cure disease.

Some say that our journey to the stars is just a matter of time and the equivalent of human immortality could be within our grasp within a handful of decades.

We may not be able to create a universe yet, but we certainly have the ability to create bridges, sky scrapers, spaceships, atomic weapons, automobiles, computers, language, writing, music, and mathematics……….the ability to create all the forms we call human civilization.

We may lack the wisdom and knowledge required to create a universe, but we can create pain and suffering, compassion, love, hate, healing, war, genocide, forgiveness, inclusiveness, blame, peace, impatience, and friendship.

It will hard for some of us to accept these emerging realities, but whether we accept them or not, we are indeed conscious Co-Creators with the Creator of our universe and through "free will" we are fully responsible for the forms we choose to create.

What each of us choose to think about, what we choose to observe or bring into our consciousness…..those are the forms that become part of the ongoing evolution of the Universe.

If we could move beyond the primitive ego consciousness of our unconscious inner-child and become fully conscious, self-aware Co-Creators….who knows what we could accomplish.
