What to remember? What to forget?

GARY JOHN JEWKES

Vital questions! But are their answers to be found through the taking of drugs, the use of mind manipulation, mental exercises, or some sort of pick-and-choose process?

What we remember and what we forget are largely determined by our outlook on life itself—our concept of reality. Do we accept a material, limited, self-centered view of creation and identity? Or a God-centered one?

According to the Bible, God created the heavens and the earth, perceiving them as innately good; devoid of a single harmful, destructive, fretful element. Evil was neither made by God nor given the sanction to exist. A wholly good universe is God's work, and its spiritual record forms the foundation for all perception and experience.
