In preparation for our upcoming webinar with Louis Savary we are inviting you to ponder why Divine Love had to create an evolving universe?

“Why? … because LOVE itself is not static, it is a dynamic force, ergo the Divine Mystery could not create something that it is not.” Gail Ross
“It seems to me that the evolving universe, at least at the human level, has something to do with our ever growing stages of consciousness… and acceptance of activity in the subconscious or even unconscious, over time. Ongoing studies in many of the sciences are getting to this, culminating in a oneness of energy. And although there existed people able to tap into the reality of the unknown (or unconscious) in every generation, it was not common. As the evolution and “proof” required by “enlightened” minds progresses, more are able to at least accept deeper awareness, and hopefully begin to practice Spirituality in many diverse ways. As one of Teilhard de Chardin’s famous quotes “You are not a physical being having a spiritual experience, you are a spiritual being having a physical experience.” Could that energy be the Holy Spirit in Christianity?” MaryBeth Duffy

My own heart resonates with this point of view. It is more than “logical”. And in these times the institutional impediments regarding this view are breaking down. Historically many, if not all, religious institutions have held their religious scripture as “the one and only truth.,…without flaw, and unchanging. Yet the rise of Jesus’s teachings, Chrisitanity itself, were evolutionary in themselves. Current advances in the understanding of the Aramaic that Jesus spoke has brougt forward further understanding of his Christian teachings (“Follow me in my name” rather than being worshiping him…was an aramaic idiom meaning “live as I have lived and taught”. In my view and experience various teachers in these times have also extended Jesus’s views. As well certain works, ” A Course in Miracles” (reception implied attributed to Jesus) extends love further, with practices and perspectives in ways that are broader and deeper than most Christian institutional teachings… in my view and experience. As well, there are other “recieved” works in recent years…”The Joseph Communcations” recieved by Michael Reccia. I am not sure what to make of these yet. They are based upon loving and oneness; but the posits are so broad, different…and “wild” to my mind that I have not fully come to terms with them. Yet they definitely are significant…as the works note their importance in terms of global warming, social disfunctions that “must” be addressed…or the whole historical human scenario may well repeat itself. “The Fall” book addresses this…and feels quite plausible. The underlying premises of the works are based upon love, as your essays states. For myself, I have certain processes/practices that help me stay in touch with the loving spirit within…and its guidance.
I have come to the (human) conclusion that we are the process of God in time and space. We progress, evolve, continue becoming and creating creation itself…ourselves included.
I wonder whether or how the process of growing stages of consciousness happens in other-than-human beings. Is all/every being evolving?
Susie, thanks for raising this question. I often wondered the same thing. Either the animals are evolving or we are learning more about how to communicate with them.
Along the same lines: Is every being “a spiritual being having a physical experience” since all exist in and with the same Source?
Yes, Margaret! I agree completely!
