Whipped by the winds of change and uncertainty, consumed by fear, we are locked in a selfimposed prison of the human state of consciousness.]]> While it is true that only through the God-power of our imaginative faculty, all seeds of creative manifestation are sown, it is also true that the imagination alone will not create or form anything of any value into this physical plane.]]> The wheel of destiny spins and we are born into this world again. Some Souls tempered, seasoned, older, wiser; some younger, lacking experience and patience, brash, headstrong, aggressive, swinging wildly.]]> the building blocks of all life. From my imaginative conception, the smallest particles, atoms, will begin to whir, attract and align themselves to form my waking dream.]]> While, Soul, our true imperishable form, may be beyond the reach of time, our human physical form is not.
