Dr. Jide Adefope is author of The Shaping Spirit: A detailed account of the origin and purpose of human life–from the creation of the Universe, and the evolution of our planet to tracing life from its very beginning. The story of human development covers some of its greatest triumphs, as well as some of its abysmal failures, which stem from mankind’s inability to recognize its true, spiritual origin. The author identifies the fundamental difference between humans and animals, pinpointing the inner, living core of humans, which is ‘spirit’ in nature and which is imbued with free will. The cosmic laws have partly been discovered and investigated by scientists, who nevertheless remain largely unable, or unwilling, to acknowledge the existence of a Law Giver. The author explores what lies behind the narrow vision of scientific interpretation, by delving into the nature of intellect, and its dominance over our intuitive faculties, by which the spirit expresses its will.
