Conscious Evolution

We are all in search of happiness it seems. For me I prefer to look at it as the search for peace and joy in life as I find happiness can be too conditional and anytime we have to look for or chase something we are looking outside of us. Surely some of this is just semantics but for lack of a better word, happiness in my view is a state of being that comes from within and isn’t fickle.
This may or may not be the case for you, but I know I – and many others I’ve interacted with – have been going through major changes in their lives. I myself have been going through a change that has led me to an environment in which I felt isolated, without direction, and with nothing else to entertain myself but myself.
There’s a lot of pressure in the yoga community and in many spiritual circles to “be positive!” and to “think positive thoughts and positive things will happen!”. And I’ll be the first person to say that I believe your thoughts have a lot of power in that they create a chemical reaction in your body, and that prolonged periods of stress will lead to dis-ease.
A book titled “Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness Arethe Keys toUnderstanding the Nature of theUniverse“, published in the USA, has stirred up the Internet, because it contained a notion that life does not end when the body dies, and it can last forever. The author of this publication, scientist Robert Lanzahas no doubts that this is possible.
Every human being and life form is an expression of that one formless and timeless one life, which is beyond anything that can be destroyed. It’s life itself. It has no opposite. The essence of every life form is eternal. It derives from the one. It’s an expression of the one. To know that, not just as a belief, but deep within yourself, is to know that which cannot be destroyed. It’s what the Buddhist’s call Amara (the deathless). It’s the closest, perhaps, that the Buddhist’s come to talking about God: the deathless dimension – timeless, deathless, that which cannot be destroyed. Every human and every life form is a temporary expression of that.
