\"yawning<\/a>As Cheryl reads the book, Animal Wise<\/a>, by Virginia Morell, I can see her thinking. The book talks about researchers who are finally admitting that we animals think and feel and have soul.<\/p>\n

It was hard for the scientists to admit that human beings weren\u2019t the only superior thinkers on the planet, but they are succumbing to the fact that mind is fully expressed in more ways than we can imagine.<\/p>\n

Rather than look at a physical body and try to determine if mind<\/a> is there or not, how about look at divine Mind and see it expressed everywhere?<\/p>\n

Rather than look at temporal substance, how about turn your thought to spiritual substance, and see divine Spirit manifest everywhere?<\/p>\n

Rather than accept what the world is presenting, how about know what divine Mind is manifesting and witness to it in more places imaginable?<\/p>\n

Rather than look for souls, how about discover divine Soul and see it expressed everywhere?<\/p>\n
