Adversity Powers Evolution Of Consciousness
- Adversity is essential for the evolution of consciousness across all life forms.
- Without difficulties, beings would lack the pressure that drives growth and adaptation.
Nature Shows Growth Through Pressure
- Plants and animals survive because pressure forces new capacities like alertness or flight.
- Tolle uses examples of saplings, birds and fish to show how adversity created biological change.
Creating Strength By Making Life Difficult
- Deliberate strain (exercise) forces the body to demand and receive more energy.
- That added energy strengthens the body and makes difficult activity eventually enjoyable.
