Part One

In order to understand evolution, it is necessary to look at history. Physical history teaches one thing, and spiritual history teaches something else. This is why these two histories do not always agree on certain events. It is important to examine the reasoning of physical and spiritual history so a comprehensive connection can be made. If this connection is not made, the gap between physical and spiritual history cannot be made, and the meaning of creation and evolution will never be brought into alignment. Alignment is necessary so a proper perspective can emerge. Consciousness has evolved too far to be expected to follow blindly without some kind of understanding.
Consciously, it is known that something is wrong, but what it is cannot be defined. The intensity that is occurring in all walks of life is occurring because it is time for consciousness to evolve again. Evolution will be different this time though. This time, a decision can be made to be a part of evolution. Never before in the history of the world, spiritual or physical, has consciousness been invited to be a part in its own evolution.
It has taken 18 years of intense learning to find out just what was occurring. The lessons will not be considered as having much value from a physical perspective, unless of course there is a shift in value. Shifting value takes time to learn, but because time is being set aside for anyone who wishes to consciously evolve, time will also begin to take on a new significance. n It is important to learn new value by allowing a new perception of history to be introduced. History is important because it teaches value. However, the value of physical history is not the same as spiritual history. Just as the physical nature is not the same as the spiritual nature. But because both histories and both natures occupy the same world, a meeting of both the spiritual and physical must unite so one purpose can be found to serve both natures.

The first history to examine is the one that teaches the physical nature.

  • Physical history began millions of years ago. It teaches that evolution is a purely external condition that advances consciousness through a process of natural selection. Natural selection only leaves the best to survive and carry on the human gene pool.
  • Physical history teaches experience, and how the physical experience evolved to a point that intellect became master over the experience.
  • Physical history has taught how a world could be established through the efforts of war.
  • Physical history teaches how communication advanced to a point that it is now global in its technological ability.
  • Physical history sees the world as linear, which means that all learning comes from the past. Past learning is then introduced into present learning so intellectual understanding is found. This keeps physical history digging in its past to find its reality. Being grounded in the past prevents physical history from evolving into a universal experience.
  • Physical history teaches that cause is always physical, and effect can only occur with the help of a physical intervention.
  • Linear history is governed by time, and is under the direction of physical law. Physical law defines what acceptable behavior is. Behavior is body directed through the use of guilt, shame, fear, anger, hate, conflict, and etc.
  • Physical history explains how humankind has overcome physical difficulties and obstacles by using physical force, or manipulating external circumstances in order to attain a specific outcome.
  • Physical history defines intellectual prowess and how intellectual understanding was and is used to out maneuver others who did not have the physical means, or the intellectual ability to survive.
  • Physical history always gives advantage to those who have more material possessions. Power is associated with possession.
  • Physical history is both brawn and brain, and how the meeting of these two has advanced society to a point where it is now.
  • Physical history uses belief to establish reality.

The second history to examine is the one that teaches the spiritual nature.

• Spiritual history began 6000 years ago. It took millions of years of evolution for physical history to advance to a point that spiritual history could be introduced into the evolutionary process.
• Spiritual history teaches that communication is not dependent on physical means to advance a spiritual Cause.
• Spiritual history teaches that Cause is always unseen, and that physical effect is a natural occurrence from an unsee
Cause. This leaves out the intellectual interpretation of what cause is.
• Spiritual history has taught that a righteous heart is rewarded, and wickedness, or those who do not use righteousness as a way of life, have always been destroyed. Not by the natural conditions that uphold righteous integrity, but by unnatural conditions that cannot support unrighteous integrity.
• Spiritual history sees learning as vertical. Using a vertical application of time is how Omnipresence or Now is revealed in physical time. When the Universal application of Now is applied in physical time, one is no longer under the dictates of physical time. Learning from the past is no longer necessary because all learning is depended on what is occurring now. This makes learning a virtual experience that can only be provided by Universal Intelligence.
• Spiritual Law examines motives in the heart and does not use behavior as a reason for punishment. Spiritual history also does not establish wickedness, or unnatural behavior, to establish holiness.
• The Cause of Righteousness is Love, joy, peace, gratitude, happiness, innocence, goodness, and etc. The Effect of Righteousness establishes reasons for faith in this world.
• Vertical learning is found in space, and is under the direction of Universal Law. It is unexplored territory that can only be found through the process of evolution.
• Spiritual history explains how individuals and nations have overcome their environment and difficult situations by using natural conditions, or nature, which is under the direction of Universal Law.
• Spiritual history defines the quality of righteousness and how the righteous heart has access to information and the Laws that govern space. The Laws that uphold space are Natural Laws, and the righteous heart is given access to these Laws by virtue of righteousness, which is also protected by Grace.
• The Law that governs space does not see material advantage as a reason for power or authority. Instead, Universal Law sees past a physical interpretation of value, and uses integrity found in a righteous heart to determine real value.
• Spiritual history uses knowing to establish reality.

These are just a few of the differences between the two histories of the world. Even though the two histories are different in their reasoning, the meaning for both histories would have to emerge into one so a whole purpose could be found. Finding this purpose will advance the evolution of the world by thousands of years.
The next article in the series will address the Plan to evolve physical consciousness and how to begin to learn the process.

About the Author

Eighteen years ago I began having visions and an Internal Communication process began. At first, the information seemed to be intellectually conceived, but after awhile, I began to learn the this communication was actually coming from a Source that was beyond my own conscious understanding. I had a background in massage therapy, and I also studied hypno therapy. I took classes in NLP and in 2001 I became an Ordained Minister. Most of my spiritual instruction came from A Course In Miracles. Because of the message I was to deliver, it has been imperative that I go through all of the lessons that I must deliver. The lessons have been intense. It is not easy to evolve consciousness. After all, it has taken millions of years to get to this point. A Course in Miracles states that thousands of years can be cut off of the learning process if it is decided that this is the route to take. The world is in the midst of an evolutionary crisis. Consciousnss must evolve if it is to survive. The means to evolve are given under the direction of what I learned was a Plan that is outlined in A Course in Miracles. I'm not quite sure why I was chosen to deliver this message, but deliver it I must. If it is listened to or not, is not up to me. I am merely the messenger. The Evolution Series is just an introduction. As I stated before, it has taken 18 years to understand this information. Because I have already taken the journey, I hope to help cut off some of the time it might take someone else.

To answer your question, let’s study the following words of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an Enlightened being, very carefully.
