The Creator's Wisdom of the Beginnings, Alive in Minds Today
Acquiring Wisdom begins with a simple but powerful guideline:
The Creator's Wisdom of the Beginnings is recorded in the ancient Hebrew text in the Book of Genesis. It was not written to us. We must take the text on its own terms and see it through the eyes of the ancients.— Jim Myers, Co-Founder
People everywhere have a sense of fairness, make distinctions between kindness and cruelty, and value loyalty.
We are Genetic, Information Seeking & Processing, Social Creatures
Our bodies are one of roughly three million species built from a DNA code, which contains three billion letters. Brains are not born into the world as blank slates. Instead, they arrive pre-equipped with expectations, like fairness, etc. Human infants come to the table with a good deal of genetic hardwiring -- pre-equipped to absorb language, mimic adults, or for fibers from your eyes to find their targets deep in the brain.
Seeking and processing information is a biological process. Our sensory organs are constantly seeking information about the worlds outside and inside our bodies. They send it to our brains, which constructs belief models and internal maps required for surviving and thriving in the environments we are born into.
We are placed in a family, a community, a society, and we watch, we experience, we learn; we take on feelings and words; we make decisions and choices. In a sense, we live in a stream of action, always acting, developing in one direction, then another. Along this stream other people enter and they influence our direction.
Lives 1st Familiy Safety Nets, Exploring the Bible Teams and Action Groups create environments where people feel safe, supported, and connected. They help individuals build resilience, deepen trust, and expand the networks that sustain families and communities. And from the past, an ancient human instinct emerges — Shepherding Power. It is the biologically rooted drive to cooperate, care for and care about others. It is the foundation of the work we do at the Biblical Heritage Center.
