Blessed Night, Loves 😊

I Pray All Is Well With Everyone… And Your Hearts And Minds Are Full Of Love, Joy, And Compassion… For All Your Brothers And Sisters In Spirit. And It Is Indeed A Fact… That Our Loving Energy Is That Which Is Required… To Manifest Our Hearts Constructive Desires; And It Is The Alchemical Power – Guided By The Governing Authority Of Our Very Own “Mighty I AM Presence” – To Permanently Transform Our Individual Hearts And Minds… And That Of The Worldwide Consciousness. As We Observe Tho… The Actions Of Our Government And Much Of Mankind… Continue To Instill More Hate, Anger, And Selfishness Into The World Around Us; Let Us Pray, That The Lovers Of Love And Life, All Around The World – Country Or Status Matters Not – Become More Conscious And Determined In Our Dealings… And Choose Wisely The Love, Light, Wisdom, And Power – That Is Mankind’s Salvation; Over The Lingering Darkness… That Aims For Our Destruction… And Failure! Amen…  

Give Thanks And Praises For Love And Life…   

And Y’all Be Love…  

“Science has much to tell us about the evolution of the atom, and has wandered a long way during the past fifty years from the standpoint of the last century. Then the atom was regarded as an indivisible unit of substance; now it is looked upon as a centre of energy, or electric force. From the evolution of substance, we are led very naturally to the evolution of forms, or of congeries of atoms, and there will then open up to us the interesting consideration of forms other than the purely material; forms existing in subtler substance, such as forms of thought, and the racial forms, and the forms of organizations. In this dual study, one of the aspects of deity will be emphasized, should you choose to use the term “deity”, or one of the manifestations of nature, should you prefer that less sectarian expression.

We shall then be led to the consideration of the evolution of intelligence, or of the factor of mind which is working out as ordered purpose in all that we see around us. This will reveal to us a world which is not blindly going on its way, but which has back of it some plan, some coordinated scheme, some organized concept which is working itself out by means of the material form. One reason why things appear to us so difficult of comprehension is involved in the fact that we are in the midst of a transition period, and the plan is as yet imperfect; we are too close to the machinery, being ourselves an integral part of the whole. We see a little bit of it here, and another little bit there, but the whole grandeur of the idea is not apparent to us. We may have a vision, we may have a high moment of revelation, but when we contact the reality on every side, we question the possibility of the ideal materializing, for the intelligent relationship between the form and that which utilizes it seems so far from adjustment.

The recognition of the factor of the intelligence will inevitably lead us to the contemplation of the evolution of consciousness in its many forms, ranging all the way from those types of consciousness which we consider sub-human, through the human, up to what may be logically posited (even if it may not be demonstrated) to be superhuman consciousness. The next question which will face us will be, what lies back of all these factors? Is there, behind the objective form and its animating intelligence, an evolution which corresponds to the “I” faculty, to the Ego in man? Is there in nature, and in all that we see around us, the working out of the purpose of an individualized self-conscious Being?

If there is such a Being, and such a fundamental existence, we should be able to see somewhat His intelligent activities, and to watch His plans working towards fruition. Even if we cannot prove that God is, and that the Deity exists, it may be possible to say, at least, that the hypothesis that He exists is a reasonable one, a rational suggestion, and a possible solution of all the mysteries we see around us. But to do that, it has to be demonstrated that there is an intelligent purpose working through forms of every kind, through races and nations, and through all that we see manifesting in modern civilization. The steps that that purpose has taken, and the gradual growth of the plan, will have to be demonstrated, and from that demonstration, we shall perhaps be able to see what lies ahead for us in the coming stages.

Let us for a minute consider what we mean by the words “evolutionary process”. They are constantly being used, and the average man well knows that the word “evolution” suggests an unfolding from within outwards, and the unrolling from an inner centre. But we need to define the idea more clearly, and thus get a better concept. One of the best definitions which I have come across is that which defines evolution as, “the unfolding of a continually increasing power to respond.” Here we have a definition that is very illuminating as we consider the matter aspect of manifestation. It involves the conception of vibration, and of response to vibration, and though we may in time have to discard the term “matter”, and employ some such expression as “force centre”, the concept still holds good, and the response of the centre to stimulation is even more accurately to be seen.

In considering human consciousness, this same definition is of real value. It involves the idea of a gradually increasing realization, of the developing response of the subjective life to its environment, and it leads us eventually on and up to the ideal of a unified Existence which will be the synthesis of all the lines of evolution; and to a conception of a central Life, or force, which blends and holds together all the evolving units, whether they are units of matter, such as the atom of the chemist and the physicist, or units of consciousness, such as human beings. This is evolution, the process which unfolds the life within all units, the developing urge which eventually merges all units and all groups, until you have that sum total of manifestation which can be called Nature, or God, and which is the aggregate of all the states of consciousness.

… We know so much more than was the case five hundred years ago, except in a few circles of wise men and mystics. We have discovered so many laws of nature, even though as yet we cannot apply them, and the knowledge of “things as they are” (and I choose these words very deliberately) has made immense strides. Nevertheless, the mystery land still remains to be opened up, and our problems are still numerous.

There is the problem of our own particular life, whatever that may be; there is the problem of that which is largely termed the “Not-Self”, and which concerns our physical body, our environment, our circumstances, and our life conditions. If we are of an introspective turn of mind, there is the problem of our particular set of emotions, and of the thoughts, desires, and instincts by which we control action.

Group problems are many; why should there be suffering, starvation, and pain? Why should the world as a whole be in the thrall of the direst poverty, of sickness, of discomfort? What is the purpose underlying all that we see around us, and what will be the outcome of world affairs, viewing them as a whole? What is the destiny of the human race, what is its origin, and what is the key to its present condition? Is there more than this one life, and is the sole interest to be found in that which is apparent and material? Such queries pass through all our minds at various times, and have passed through the minds of thinkers right down through the centuries.

There have been many attempts to reply to these questions, and as we study them, we find that the answers given fall into three main groups, and that three principal solutions are held out for the consideration of men. These three solutions are:

First, Realism. Another name for this school is that of Materialism. It teaches that “the presentation which we have in consciousness of an external world is true”; that things are what they seem; that matter and force, as we know them, are the only reality, and that it is not possible for man to get beyond the tangible. He should be satisfied with facts as he knows them, or as science tells him they are.

This is a perfectly legitimate method of solution, but for some of us, it fails in that it does not go far enough. In refusing to concern itself with anything except that which can be proven and demonstrated, it stops short at the very point where the enquirer says, “that is so, but why?” It leaves out of its calculation much that is known and realized as truth by the average man, even though he may be unable to explain why he knows it to be true. Men everywhere are recognizing the accuracy of the facts of the realistic school, and of material science; yet at the same time, they feel innately that there is, underlying the proven objective manifestation, some vitalizing force, and some coherent purpose which cannot be accounted for, in terms of matter alone.

Secondly, there is the point of view which we can best, perhaps call supernaturalism. Man becomes conscious that perhaps, after all, things are not exactly what they seem to be, and that there remains much which is inexplicable; he awakens to the realization that he himself is not simply an accumulation of physical atoms, a material something, and a tangible body, but that latent within him is a consciousness, a power, and a psychic nature which links him to all other members of the human family, and to a power outside himself which he must perforce explain.

This it is which has led, for instance, to the evolution of the Christian and Jewish point of view, which posits a God outside the solar system, Who created it, but was Himself extraneous to it. These systems of thought teach that the world has been evolved by a Power or Being, Who has built the solar system, and Who guides the worlds aright, keeping our little human life in the hollow of His hand, and “sweetly ordering” all things according to some hidden purpose which it is not possible for us, with our finite minds to glimpse, still less to understand. This is the religious and supernatural point of view, and is based on the growing self-consciousness of the individual, and in a recognition of his own divinity. Like the point of view of the realistic school, it embodies only a partial truth, and needs to be complemented.

The third line of thought we might call the Idealistic. It posits an evolutionary process within all manifestation, and identifies life with the cosmic process. It is the exact opposite of materialism, and brings the supernatural deity, predicated by the religionist, into the position of a great Entity or Life, Who is evolving through, and by means of the universe; just as man is evolving consciousness through the medium of an objective physical body.

In these three standpoints – the frankly materialistic, the purely supernatural, and the idealistic – you have the three main lines of thought which have been put forward as explanatory of the cosmic process. All of them are partial truths, yet none of them is complete without the others. All of them, when followed alone, lead into byways and into darkness, and leave the central mystery still unsolved. When synthesized, when brought together and blended, and when unified, they embody, perhaps, (I offer this simply as a suggestion), just as much of the evolutionary truth as it is possible for the human mind to grasp at the present stage of evolution.”
