Evolution
One Manifest To Many And Evolves To One
The
oneness of everything in pure consciousness manifest itself into many
in matter and then returns back again to the unity of pure
consciousness to complete the cycle of evolution. The scientists and
the Christian mystics are both correct in their statements about
evolution, but differ only in the way they talk about their different
stages. Instead of being opponents in trying to popularize their
different hypothesis, they complement each other, each faction making a
contribution to the whole. The book "Evolution of Consciousness"
incorporates each faction's thoughts into a more complete synthesis
where they are both correct. The Christian theologians explain
evolution from pure consciousness to matter while the scientists
explain evolution from matter back to pure consciousness. They are both
explaining different sides of the same theory. The Christians use
abstract symbols in the first half of the model because it is beyond
the mind while scientists use concrete examples in the second half of
the equation because their evolution is about matter, a concrete
substance. It is similar to a circle where the Christians use the first
half and the scientists use the second half to explain evolution. Below
is a diagram of this circle. It shows how pure consciousness which is
beyond duality is one and undivided until it takes on more and more
qualities. This pure consciousness takes on qualities until it becomes
matter, which can be divided thus becoming two. This model then shows
how matter which can be divided evolves back to pure consciousness
where it is once again one and undivided. A detailed explanation of
this theory of evolution of pure consciousness to matter and back to
pure consciousness is in the book.
The Bible’s explanations on creation are
concerned largely with the abstract world, which is the world we cannot
see. The scientists on the other hand have observed and explained the
concrete natural laws of the physical universe. The creative
consciousness cannot be seen with natural eyes, but its visible
qualities can be observed from the natural events surrounding us.
Therefore, by beholding the phenomenon of the universe we can conceive
of an eternal power even if, it is not seen by our physical eyes. The
pure consciousness behind the scenes is not static, but is constantly
being manifest in a series of steps. These emanations lead away from
its center to the outer extremes where matter is manifest. Even though
God consciousness is invisible it is still the world of cause. The
created universe as projected in the physical world is the visible
world of effect where matter is at the lowest point of this
manifestation, but it is still the result of pure consciousness.
