Evolution

"God created evolution so that everyone in separation could find their way back."

"The evolution of the world is accelerating."

The evolution of humanity

"Humanity is preparing for the Greater Community. It does not know this yet, of course, but that is its stage of evolution, and everyone is involved."

"[Humanity's] evolution is being fueled by greater forces both in the world and in the Greater Community which will determine the direction and development of your race. Your evolution is being determined by the Greater Community, for you are in preparation for the Greater Community."

"Intelligent life was seeded in your world. This was a gift from the Greater Community. It was a gift of greater intelligence so that your ancestors could accelerate their development within a relatively short period of time. This gave birth to the modern human race as you know it now. Intelligence was seeded in a few places and then it dispersed throughout the world."

"Perhaps you take for granted that humanity will just continue, but humanity has faced great challenges before, but it keeps going and it keeps growing, and there are very positive things that humanity has created. It has made many improvements in many different aspects of human life. If you do not see this, then you are not looking. These results, these accomplishments, in whatever field—in the social environment, in politics, in health, in medicine, in education, social justice—all of these accomplishments have been the result of concentrated minds working against tremendous odds to produce a beneficial result. This has kept humanity moving and has kept alive the greater potential and possibilities for the human family. You need to be a positive contributor to this."

"You have come into the world at a great turning point, a turning point only part of which you will see in your own lifetime. It is a turning point where your world gains contact with the worlds in its vicinity. This is the natural evolution of humanity, as it is the natural evolution of all intelligent life in all worlds. Your world is seeking a Greater Community. This will require that your world’s own internal community become unified. This is also a part of the evolution of all intelligent life in all worlds. You have come here to serve this."

"The evolution of humanity follows the pattern of evolution of most of the races in the universe. When those races begin to exhaust their own planets and face the reality of the Greater Community of life in the universe, they have reached a great and difficult and precipitous threshold. They have reached a true turning point where their past understanding and assumptions will not serve them and might even betray them. Humanity has reached this threshold."

The world's evolution

"Just as you grow from being a child to an adolescent, from an adolescent to a young adult, from a young adult to an adult and then you grow into old age, so your world has its evolutionary stages as well. There are evolutionary stages in societies. There are evolutionary stages in families. And the world has its own evolutionary process."

“As you become a student of Knowledge and are able to objectively recognize your preparation, you will begin to have a true view of the evolution of the world. Here your viewpoint will not be distorted by personal preference or personal fear, for the evolution of the world will simply be obvious to you.”

“The world is preparing to emerge into the Greater Community of Worlds and this underlies its evolution and all of its advancements now. That is why conflict is erupting in the world, because those who oppose the evolution of the world will fight against it. Those who wish to further the advancement of the world will attempt to fortify the goodness of humanity and the sense that humanity is one community that must nurture and support itself beyond all division of nation, race, religion, culture and tribe…All this is part of the preparation of the world to emerge into the Greater Community of Worlds, because this represents the evolution of the world.”

“The world was ultimately created as a place for the separated to live. It was created, as was the physical universe, by powerful geological forces that were set in motion by the Creator of all life. These forces continue at this moment, they are self-perpetuating, they are changing, and in a certain degree they are chaotic…The Creator of all life has set evolution in motion, and evolution now continues without God managing it. It is self-perpetuating. It is moving, it is evolving. Life evolves to greater levels of complexity and intelligence. Evolution in times of geologic and biologic time is extremely slow. Short of cataclysmic events, it is extremely slow.”

Forces of nature established from creation the basis and rule of evolution

“The world is an evolving state. It is changing. It is following a set of patterns that were established at the beginning of creation of the physical reality. Here there is no conflict between religion and science, if you understand the connection. Earlier creation stories of course were overshadowed by science because they did not represent the evolution of the physical reality, because peoples at those times did not have the range of understanding to comprehend the greater forces of nature and the scope of time. They tried to understand nature based upon their tribal consciousness, their isolation in the physical world, their lack of exposure to the diversity of life in the world. So their creation stories were generated basically on local events and on the range of their own awareness. But now you are seeing the world as a planet, as a living system of life, and science has demonstrated greater forces that were never perceived or comprehended before.”

“The physical universe is changing and evolving. God is not managing it because it is self-perpetuating. God does not have to manage every little swirl in the current of a river because the river is self-perpetuating. It is running on its own. God does not have to manage every little breeze in the air, or the shape of every little cloud, because these phenomena are all being perpetuated by the geological and biological forces that were set in motion at the beginning of the creation of the physical reality.”

Overlapping realities

“The physical universe, therefore, is evolving irrespective of the evolution of sentient beings. It was set in motion to be a growing and expanding reality, and once life was able to be started within this physical reality, it has gone through its own biological process of evolution, irrespective of sentient beings. If sentient beings were no longer in this world, it would just continue along its evolutionary trajectory.”

“So there are two levels of evolution here. There is the evolution of the natural world, which continues with or without you. And then there is the evolution of sentient beings, who must come and participate in the physical reality in order to overcome the desire or attachment to Separation and to provide service to those living in the physical reality. It is like parallel tracks. They both exist, but they are happening at different levels. They are all part of Creation, but they are happening at different levels. It is the level confusion that people have that leads them to make incorrect decisions and assumptions and conclusions about the meaning of existence.”

"God has set in motion the forces of evolution and the forces of natural selection. Within this pattern, there is tremendous variability. It appears to be chaotic, but within this overall pattern, there is a natural progression towards complexity and ultimately towards Knowledge for intelligent races who have self-awareness. Here you have overlapping two different kinds of patterns. You have the pattern of evolution that humanity is just beginning to comprehend, and then you have a pattern of evolution regarding awareness and spirituality that has been set in motion and is supported by Unseen Spiritual Forces wherever intelligent life exists. One seems random and chaotic; the other is organized and purposeful. It depends upon the level of understanding and the level of reality which you will consider."

Evolution in the Greater Community

"[The] Greater Community of intelligent life in the universe ... is vast, encompassing the entire spectrum of evolution—the evolution of technology, the evolution of societies and the evolution of spiritual awareness and ethics. It is vast and incomprehensible."
