Earth is our school

We came to Earth like a school. We have come to learn. Why should be learn? . . . because we want to evolve. Why do we want to evolve? . . . because we want to be away from suffering. We want to reach that state of primal peace from which we have come. […]

Evolution of the Human Being

The first incarnation is composed mostly of awareness of the physical self. It is aware that it needs food, water, and to perform other biological functions.
