In the book of Genesis, we read that God created plant life, then animal life, and then — “God created man in his own image; in the image of Creator God — male and female He created them.” Tragically, we do not read the differences.
Because our operating system is vastly different from animals, we must assume that the Creator also said:
’let men and women have free will to uphold their life in the manner they choose. Let them have a conscious mind that communicates with a subconscious mind so they may choose their values and receive reports through feelings and emotions so they can alter their behaviour or change their values thus to advance intellectually, emotionally, morally, and spiritually.’
Grasp the enormity of what that means, and you will see that our Creator has gifted a value exchange model between individuals of different countries, races, and cultures. A perfect model for cultural diversity and trade thus exists right within our value-monitoring system, exactly where it belongs.
Sentience is the sensory ability to feel or perceive feelings and emotions, much as we perceive a thing or an event. It also allows us to entertain nonphysical theories and ideas, thus unavailable through our five senses. We must ‘identify’ what real thing or event a particular theory or postulate refers to.
People can be ‘aware’ as a group, but since consciousness is a singular process within each of us, directed by our free will, no collective consciousness can exist any more than a unified stomach, kidney, or liver exists. Our cognitive mind connects our spiritual values to the physicality of our body and the world. Likewise, the subconscious mind interfaces our spiritual values with our soul. Thus, the whole conscious process interfaces physicality on one hand and spirituality on the other. This shows we each are spiritual beings living a spiritual life, albeit in a material world. Physicality is merely a toolbox for exercising our spiritual life and nature.
Do you understand the full significance of what you’ve just read? It means you are richly blessed beyond anything you’ve ever been taught. It also means human consciousness has been arrested at the level of animality, based on the evil notion that we are ‘social animals.’
