Part 10 - Evolution

As beings who possess higher consciousness than the rest of the animal kingdom, we are endowed with the gift of consciously choosing our evolutionary pathway. Animals are more bound by their genetics in regards to adapting to environments, but we have the ability to transcend our genetics concsiously. What your author means by this is that we are connected to the spiritual nature of the Universe in such a way that we can push beyond the limits of environmental cycles with our creative power.

Having this ability comes with greater responsibility, because we are also bound by Natural Law, which governs the consequences of our behavior. Our creative power reflects energy to the Universe, and in turn the Universe mirrors it back to us in the form of physical reality.

We have the choice to create “Heaven” or “Hell” on Earth. Most of the animal kingdom seems glued to competitive and degredative interactions within the Circle of Life, in other words, their lifespans are much shorter and they cycle energy through life and death in sometimes an autonomous way. Their evolution is greatly dictated by their genetics, but this process is what keeps Life on Earth rejuvenated and perpetual.

As an example, if we collectively decided that we no longer wish to consume animals for ethical reasons, we have the intellect and creative potential to begin the process right now to modify our digestive system so we no longer require animal protein to live (even though vegetarians and vegans have already made the case that this is not necessarily true). Through a slow process of limiting our diets to how much animal protein we consume throughout our lifetimes, we can pass on our genetics and habits to future generations until after a period of hundreds of years we can literally change the functionality of our digestive systems.

This is one example of what we are capable of doing, and what we are capable of is only limited by the depth of our imagination and care. We can also choose to winnow out other animalistic qualities that still influence our higher behavior, such as territoriality and competitiveness. While these behaviors are entrenched within the animal kingdom, there are other aspects of nature we can choose to mirror that are more conducive to a healthy, communal society.

To create a better world requires a new way of thinking. No violent revolution will allow humanity to enter a new era of peace…only a radical shift in spiritual awareness will. This spiritual awareness comes with understanding Natural Law and practicing morality. It requires action in drowning out the bad deeds of the world with good deeds. These good deeds must come out of the emotion of Love, for only Love has the power to change the hearts of people. A love for one’s self and for all Life. And above all…a love for Truth.

All the individuals of the world who are guilty of commiting atrocities will no longer have power if we all honor Natural Law and instead choose to express Love in all that we do. Using violence for the purpose of revenge will only sink us to the low level of those who are immoral. We are better than that, and violence only breeds more violence. If it comes to a time when one must use self-defence against those who are using coercive actions, then that is another thing. But using violence when there is a better way to clear out the negativity of the world is reacting too hastily.

An option to consider is to give those people commiting immoral actions in the world a chance to reform their behavior and come clean about the manipulation they have been enacting on humanity. This would come in the form of Amnesty, which is basically a pardon. This does not mean that they shouldn’t be held responsible, but it would provide a pathway for many people to leave their immoral positions and to instead help empower humanity.

On a more personal level, it would be wise for all of us to embrace Unconditional Forgiveness for others as well as self-forgiveness for ourselves. This would help bring us one step closer to repairing broken bonds and healing personal traumas. All of our subconscious minds have personal traumas as well as genetic trauma from humanity’s violent past. Love is the only force that can provide healing, and holding onto past grudges and quarrels with other people only makes us more ill.

Every day is a new day to begin anew, no matter what one has suffered from or done in the past.

Women have a Power of Influence that is so incredibly strong. Their capacity to feel intense compassion, empathy, sympathy, and understanding is what gives humanity the motivation to evolve out of base, animal desires. They are the driving force for us finding the inspiration to seek divinity, respect morality, and to be heart-centered in all of our interactions. If women become out of alignment with Natural Law, then so do men. Because men are the main drivers of Will in the human race, men will ultimately create a world that mirrors the mindset of women.

It is imperative for all of us to preserve the Feminine, because empowering women leads to radical change in society. If women collectively understood Natural Law and stopped giving their energy to people who choose immoral behaviors, then the world would have no choice but to conform to such a shift in consciousness. This is the power of women.

Preserving the Feminine is not just about women, however, it is about preserving the Sacred Feminine force within us all. Even men possess Feminine energy, which comes from our right brain hemisphere. This part of the brain is responsible for creativity, intuition, compassion, art, music, and holistic thinking. These qualities are what give us inspiration to truly feel and experience the magnificence of the Universe.

These are the qualities that will ultimately change humanity’s ways. Women are capable of giving birth to Life, and the Sacred Feminine is capable of giving birth to Divine Inspiration. Women need to be honored and respected for their power, and they need to be protected and defended so they can express themselves freely in the world. The same goes for our beloved planet which gives birth to all Life on Earth. We need to protect and defend Mother Earth like we are all her children. This means that we are all brothers and sisters, and Love is the only force that will tie us together.

The only way to successfully grow food is to nurture seeds. Seeds will not grow if they are neglected or abused in any way…it is only through Love and dedication that gives seeds the opportunity to grow and develop into healthy plants. The same is true for human interactions. Love is the only force that will help encourage, inspire, and empower other people to transmute their consciousness in a positive direction. Expressing Love towards others makes people more inclined to help the person giving Love, and also encourages them to express Love to others. Fear and hate, however, only lead to scarcity. Fear and hate lead to behaviors that result in an environment that is lacking and uninviting.

We have the capability to feed every person, to provide optimum health care for every person, and to provide opportunities for everybody to find happiness. All it will take is a radical shift in consciousness based on Love. This abundance will not manifest itself by waiting for a religious savior; it will not come from government assistance; and it will most certainly not come from different money systems. It will come from the combined effort of individuals doing their part by taking action to manifest the world we want to see. We cannot do this alone…we need to partner together and bolster our efforts.

Even though we are a step above the rest of the animal kingdom in regards to consciousness, we are still bound by the same physical laws and we are still a part of our planet’s ecosystems. It is imperative for us to honor and respect all the elements that make up material reality: Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. Not only do our lives depend on the health of the environment, but the wellbeing of all Life on the planet. It is advisable to take care of the planet not only for ethical reasons, but it is conducive for our maximum evolutionary potential.

Just like we need to respect the elements in the external world, we need to master the elements within our consciousness. Through the Law of Correspondence, our concsiousness is a mirror of the greater Universe. It takes great dedication and care to monitor one’s thoughts, emotions, and actions. Keeping these elements in perpetual balance should be the goal of all people, for only then can one claim that they are on the path of Enlightenment.

Air: Are your thoughts aligned with Truth and morality? Are you able to recognize patterns around you?

Water: Are your emotions based out of Love? Are you able to be fluid, dynamic, and flexible with your ways?

Earth: Are you using your inherent talents and skills to better humanity and heal the planet? Are you adapatable to a changing environment?

Fire: Are you passionate enough to care about creating a better world? Do you have the will power to manifest your dreams with actions in the external world?

Everything that we need is available to us for our evolution. As co-creators of our reality, we need to harmonize with Natural Law and the qualities of our planet to maximize our potential. Just like we must nurture seeds, we must also establish a nurturing relationship with every single aspect of our planet. Nurturing is a characteristic of the Sacred Feminine.

We are not separate from nature…we are deeply embedded within it. We ARE nature. Any deviation from the natural processes results in degredation. We have been trying to play God in this world, and it has resulted in a condition based in immorality and destruction. Nature works through slow, methodical processes, and we must align ourselves to these processes rather than fight against them.

It all begins with education. Our education systems need to be environmentally-focused giving children the opportunity to play and explore outdoors. They need to understand the sacredness of Life by immerssing themselves in it. As adults, we need to model all of our constructions off nature, because there is no better teacher. Our buildings and homes need to work with nature rather than against it. Everything that we need to create better technology can be learned by studying plants and animals. Nature found a way to produce the most beautifully complex mechanisms and arrangements, and we must use the power of our advanced intellect to study and understand this underlying intelligence.

Concerning our behavior, just because animals are aggressive and territorial does not mean that we have to behave the same way. When one looks deeper within nature, one will find other mechanisms by which animals interact that are not grounded in competition and scarcity. There are plenty of examples of animals working together in mutual relationships where no harm is involved at all. These are the examples that we need to turn our attention to, and these are ultimately what we need to model our behavior off of. Cooperation with nature and cooperation with one another is what will drive our evolution down a healthier path.

The image above is an American Indian symbol that is commonly known as the “Medicine Wheel.” This symbol holds different spiritual meanings between different Indian nations, tribes, bands, clans, and individuals, and some of them use different colors. But most traditions hold great value in the symbol as it reflects Unviersal Wholeness as a circle is the perfect shape that essentially has no end. The four colors can represent different things, such as:

The Four Directions: East, South, West, North

The Four Seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter

The Four Stages of Life: Birth, Youth, Adult, Death

The Four Times of Day: Sunrise, Noon, Sunset, Midnight

The Four Elements of Life: Earth, Fire, Water, Wind

The Four Races of Man: Red, Yellow, Black, White

It is noteworthy that the number four is regarded in numerology as the number of the Feminine force within Creation.

Your author finds great interest in this symbol especially in the four colors of humanity. This symbol has been around a long time, which should give indication to the wonder of how different “races” around the world seemed to be aware of the other’s existence. Concerning the colors, the color red would equate to American Indians (Earth), the color yellow would equate to people native to Asia (Air), the color black would equate to the people native to Africa (Water), and the color white would equate to people of caucasian descent (Fire). All of these colors reflect the different colors of humanity, and it is likely that other shades and hues of skin colors are a mixture of any of these four colors.

This is significant because it reflects the spiritual understanding that although we are of different colors, we are all one family on planet Earth under Natural Law. It is our destiny to lend our unique attributes for the betterment of all so we can become a peaceful race of beings united.

It is time for us to set aside our petty differences and unite based upon our similarities. Every single one of us desires health, happiness, and Freedom. These are things that can be achieved for all, but it cannot happen while there is so much in-fighting and division. Your author is optimistic about humantiy’s future, and he believes in the spirit of humanity.

To manifest a beautiful future, we need to first be united in Imagination. We are capable of dreaming of infinite possibilities, and our creative potential sees no bounds. While we may have slightly different visions, we can most certainly agree that we can do better than the world we have been presented with.

To manifest this dream takes a unification in Heart. Our heart is a powerful and important aspect of our consciousness. We need to feel empathy and passion for our dreams of a beautiful future, and the force of Love is what will ultimately link us together.

And finally, we must be united in Will. For our dream to be manifested in the physical world, we need to commit to action. Any action big or small will make a difference. But it will take a whole lot of courage and motivation, but there is great comfort in that none of us are truly alone.

While it is true that most of humanity seems perfectly content living in an immoral system, we must shift our focus on uniting those of us who do care about manifesting a better world. There is nothing that we cannot accomplish when working in concert with one another. Now is the time to let go of past quarrels and to unite under the banner of Truth, Love, and Freedom.

You, the reader, are beautiful and powerful. Your author believes in you.
