Earth Laboratory

The experience of living on earth is a laboratory--we get to experience and experiment with many things while we live here. Among them, we get to experience a real knowledge of light and darkness, the relationship between good and evil, and the possibility of knowing and embodying elements (qualities) from a higher realm. In addition, we experiment with acts of self-giving (self-sacrifice) and the play of love. We experience the growth and evolution of our own consciousness into wider and wider states of awareness (or the lack of such growth). We begin to know and acknowledge our true Self and the Presences which hold, guide and teach us here. 

All of these take place in the laboratory of our own lives and inside our own beings, and are woven into the narrative of our journeys as we traverse space and time. We get to do these things while we live here. It is a sharp learning curve, but it is also a privilege.
