The Evolutionary Process and the Incarnation of Man

THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS AND THE INCARNATION OF MAN

Scientists have said that the earth was formed about four and a half billion years ago. If this figure is correct then we must assume that the human spirit has been here for a long time. The human spirit germ incarnated on earth midway in the cycle in the development of the earth. The human spirit has therefore been here longer than most of us suspect. This indeed would correlate with the long periods it would have taken for us to evolve into what we are today. The gradual slow development; the slow process of raising the animal body to the state it is today; the development of language through the descent of the larynx and the gradual evolution of culture and so on are all processes that must have taken an enormous amount of time.

The development of the complex societies which we have today would have taken just about the same time that it took the animistic to produce the most highly developed animal because with the entrance of man another evolutionary process began altogether which was to take the world of matter to a new level. It was the beginning of the evolution of the spirit core of man into the state it is today. Surely this could not have been achieved in just a few thousand years. We underestimate the geological age of the human species. The first human spirits therefore must have incarnated millions of years ago. Only this incarnation occurred at different places.

The six billion peoples on earth today did not start out on their development at the same time and consequently did not incarnate at the same time but the very first who did must have done so many millions of years ago. There must have been spirit germs who incarnated into bodies which were already on the way to becoming human, since the incarnation and entrance into animal bodies at the mid-cycle only takes place once in any particular part of the universe. Therefore, there must have been spirit germs whose first incarnation was into bodies already on the way to becoming human.

This is probably the only time in history when we have six billion peoples living on earth at the same time. Every one of us would have taken his turn to become what he is today. After the incarnation of a sufficient number of spirit germs, the animals became extinct and the incarnated spirit germs now formed the basis for the entrance of fellow spirit germs. The evidence in support of this supposition is that once sufficient numbers of spirit germs have incarnated, Creation's Law of Attraction of Homogenous Species will take effect and that subsequently incarnating spirit germs would automatically be attracted to incarnate with other spirit germs so that these through affinity could mutually continue to develop thereby automatically forming human colonies which continued to expand more and more.

The human colony expanded and the human population saw a steady increase in its numbers. The newly incarnating germs, however, would have to learn from those who had been here before them. In fact, the difference in the level of development was not so great because the human spirit for a long time had to remain inwardly like children. The human spirit therefore, gradually advanced inwardly and he was always brought in touch with those more advanced than himself or with spiritual teachers so that he could be carefully guided to rise from one step to the other. As the human spirit advanced inwardly so also outwardly in the physical aspect. We must remember that he inherited an animal body and the duty is his to automatically through gradual development convert this body into a human one.

The entrance of man marked the beginning of a new evolution altogether, the entrance of an entirely new species to start on its road to perfection through a series of physical and spiritual adaptations and experiences. Man must not be considered as being an animal. It is not just a continuation of the animal line. A new life species had entered to start on its road of evolution to perfection. This species embarked on a process of converting the animal body it inherited into the human one that we have today. The anatomic changes are so decisive and great that there almost exists no resemblance as such to the animal body that was inherited. Surely the anatomy is different; the upright position is more pronounced, the hairs have disappeared, races have differentiated themselves, the blood is different and so on. Another issue is the question of time scale.

The enormous development of the frontal brain alone would have taken many millions of years. The different racial characteristics which are clearly discernible could not have developed to the state it is today in just a few thousand years. We have languages which could not have developed in just two and a half million years which is the current estimate of the first entrance of man on earth. We have notions, ideas, concepts, cultures which development cannot be accounted for through the prevalent human geological time scale. Before we go further into the evolution of the human spirit, it is appropriate for us at this juncture to examine the beginning of the evolutionary process itself before the advent of the human spirit, beginning with the simplest life forms.
