You are because you are. It is because it is. Questioning this is part of human nature, the exercising of the free will you were gifted. Use it and love your human side because of it. ~ Creator

In this article we will explore how the true teachings of Jesus can be summed up by three little words: you are God. Some missionaries came to my house the other day and I was given the opportunity to come face to face with the religious mind, to discover their relationship to God, and to remember my own (non-voluntary) experience with religion.

In such a short time though it was, it was absolutely clear that the foundational flaw of religion based off of the bible as it is primarily taught today (and in general, for the past 2000 years), is that it teaches first and foremost that we are separate from this force called God. But that is a contradiction because the bible, specifically the teachings of Jesus as I will clearly illustrate, teach that you are god, and that we are all God.

So, I have taken it upon myself to convince those missionaries, and you, that you are not only equal to God, but that you are God.

In 2011, scientists reported that they created the “world’s first practical artificial leaf”.  This leaf mimics real leaves by producing energy from water and sunlight.

This idea was presented as a potential for inexpensive electricity for people who are in developing countries and remote areas of the world.  The reason why it would be so beneficial in these environments is because it has the ability to self heal and produce energy using dirty water.

The Artificial Leaf has many of the abilities of regular leaves such as getting energy from sunlight and water but, unlike a real leaf, lacks the ability to perform photosynthesis.  Daniel G. Nocera, Ph.D. who was head of the research on this project says that the leaf is made out of a simple wafer of silicon coated in a catalyst.  Once this device is dropped into water and then exposed to sunlight it breaks down the water into its original components of hydrogen and oxygen.  The gases from these two basic elements bubble up to the surface and are collected to be used as fuel.  The fuel can then be used to make electricity.

Learn how to improve your concentration to get more done. Get many simple lifestyle tips and techniques, including the single best way to get in the zone …

It’s been said that the greatest power of the human mind is its ability to focus on one thing for an extended period of time.

If you’ve ever held a magnifying glass in the sun, you know how scattered sunlight can be focused to start a fire.

Imagine if you could concentrate your brain power into one bright beam and focus it like a laser on whatever you wish to accomplish.

But most of us struggle to concentrate.

And when you can’t concentrate, everything you do is harder and takes longer than you’d like.
