Sometimes life takes a creative leap that's almost miraculous. Nobody knows how this happens, and it can never be predicted. You'd never know, looking at a reptile's round, hard, shiny scales, that they could genetically morph into feathers. Paleontologists know that they did, however, and finding the very first dinosaur that sprouted feathers is one of the great discoveries waiting to happen. (You might recall that a spectacular fossil was found in China that seemed to fit the bill, but after debuting on the cover of National Geographic and many other publications, it turned out to be a fake.)

I couldn't agreee more. Programs to save the United States still reflect the desire to consume everything in sight at the expense of the rest of the world. To have a new vision, consciousness needs to change. As Dr. Chopra points out in The Third Christ, the christ consciousness is a transformation of the soul that points us in the direction of our roots, our soul. With this as a guide, we can begin making some decsions about a world economy of compassion and love. Dr. Alberto Villodo calls this new human, homo luminous, the human who shines the light of the Divine for all to see and experience. I hope that I perceive my present reality from this viewpoint. Everything else is illusion.
Maybe it is the bones we need to pay attention to, not feathers. I've heard about this new discovery in Argentina. A dinosaur skeleton was found with hollow bones - similar to birds. It had air sacks in its bones that suggests it could fly. Thank you for the great post!
