You are not an accident of the universe.

 

      You are not an accident of the universe.  You are its purpose.  It is not vanity to say so, but reverence. 

      One might think of reality in two dimensions, the physical and the spiritual.   The physical universe, without its spiritual dimension, is without color, without music, and without meaning.  It is because you are of spirit that you perceive art, and truth and purpose.

      The material paradigm describes you as an assortment of atoms, a book that nobody wrote, an illusion having an illusion.  The God paradigm is a worldview which describes life, consciousness and free will as much more than the atoms of your physical being.  Life is more than a chemical process; consciousness is a complete mystery; free will empowers you to rise above your physical limitations. 

      The material paradigm holds that you are nothing more than a puppet on a cosmic string, a helpless observer of your own life, not a participant.  Its inevitable conclusion is that you are worthy of nothing more than to be treated as such.  The God paradigm holds that you were created by the Almighty Deity to be loved and nurtured forever.

      These are not simply words.  They have eternal consequence.  They are founded not in wishful thinking, but in science, in social structures, and in your personal life.
