What is evolution without consciousness?

Everything in life goes through the perfect, natural and gradual process of evolution.

Everything in life has evolved, you, me, every life form, from the smallest micro organism to the largest mammell, and of course this world has evolved every since the beginning of time. It does not really matter when that was, so if you believe that the world is only about 6000 years old, or several billion years, the fact of the matter is that everything in existence went through the process of evolution.

What has been missing during this process is the element of consciousness, and so we have not consciously e-volved, but rather un-consciously de-volved.

I remember that when as a child I learned about the impermanent nature of all things, this concept provided me with much angst and anxiety. Eventually I found out that everything in life is going through the inevitable process of change (evolution). This is very difficult, and quite frightening for children to understand, yet change is the essence of life.

It seems to me that while we never fully grasp this universal truth, as we 'grow up' we tend to fear change as we are programmed to develop a certain personality, and adopt certain views, values, belief systems which rarely, if every change.

The question which I like to raise is the following:

If change (evolution) is the only constant in life, how instead of fearing it can we learn to embrace, attract and generate change?
