Our evolving consciousness........

So here is where the discussion on our collective journey can begin.....again.

Let's say that linear evolution is a fact of the spiritual essence of existence and Baha'i'u'llah was one in a long line of people who realized the importance of expressing such to a greater audience which led to the beginning of an organized 'faith' or 'fellowship' , in his name, as is the case with so many others. If that is the reality then one must consider the probability that "linear evolution" is ...also...merely a part of a greater continuity....or macrocosmic principle which is 're-volutinary' instead of 'e-volutionary'. These two prefixes alter the meaning of a word with powerful implications in its definition. VOLUTIONARY.....generally means 'spiraling' and 'round'........ so evolutionary should actually mean an evolving spiral or circle....which has no end. With that in mind...my use of re-volutionary steps into its "fundamental change" definitive and implies an ability to create and endless array of lives in an endless array of worlds including ours.....through an equally endless array of dimensions.

This idea, interestingly enough, supports the theory of expansion and contraction within all forms of life......ebb & flow....positive & negative...yin & yang. It also allows the idea that beyond the arguments of gender for primary position....there exists the true initial principle which is genderless....and subsequently supports all ideas of equality. It would stand to reason that releasing oneself from idealistic bonds created by contextual definitives....or anthropomorphizing......all of which implicate man's belief in his superior status among earth's denizens....is also merely a phase of our re-volutionary e-volution.

This leads me to a question once asked by a very dear friend in vancouver....Troy Davids....about whether or not I thought orthodox Christianity had really done anything good for the whole of mankind. My answer did not include any of the other major beliefs but commented to his specificity. I said to him something like this, " if we were meant to go through phases of growth en-masse....like we do individually....and these phases were governed by equations relevant to the laws of physics....reduced forms from quantum mechanics.......then Christianity with all its superstitious metaphorical teachings...was a required part of the 'e-volutionary/re-volutionary' principle.......for it drove us to expand ourselves into an arena which reqired much innovative invention to perpetuate human growth and this fact would eventually lead us round in a circular motion of communication with those we had separated from. I think the world of Eastern beliefs which the Western belief system is currently trying to reach a better understanding of...and with......is part of the process.

Here is another. There are many who have the notions that a "new world order" will come under the rule of an anti-christ or a godless one......and the gamut of fear produces all manner of forced inclusion such as numbered tattoos with 666 the sign of Satan. Yet in view of the many times I have reminded readers that 'satan' is a Hebrew word.......originating from an actual meaning of "one who opposes Patriarchial/Father based rules" eventually becoming anthropomorphised as an evil angel........it should give great cause to question the fundaments of huge amounts of "new age" bullshit, exposing them for the recycled orthodoxy they are.

It may actually come to pass that the Mid-eastern views of capitalism... self-centered industrialist consumerism.... finally help create a better economy of equality for this old planet my people call "turtle mother".

I use the term 'humankind', because for me gender distinction is secondary.

I don't 'buy into' the patriarchal god bit, which has lead to so much injustice. I was unaware of the genesis of the term 'satan', although somehow this does not come as a surprise.

btw, volition is 'will', close to volution...a lot to chew on in your post.

I'm the least surprised by your musing Oat and would expect little less in comment...'volition' was a word I considered in the structure of this post....but its consideration fell short in view of the complexity of all I chose to impart. Ever yours, D.

One further comment Oat...of interest to all is that I deny no religion in existence for all religious essence there is no stasis....except when the practice of it becomes a 'social venue' or 'orthodoxy' in its broad meaning. religions are born of acceptable consensus for the furthuring of humankind in the best of intent. Only when they are kept static in the time of their formation do they become convoluted and dangerous to man. In this we can see why societies throughout history rise and fall to rise again in a new version.

Iron clad 'religious orthodoxy' can be a pain - such as being burned alive for suggesting earth revolves around the sun.

Or 'culturally' - such as a half-billion girls/women subject to genital mutilation.

New science is not exempt, stringing us along with a big bang. (Rwand Joseph debunks that on youtube...and 'historical Jesus')

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is somewhat an antidote to present day thought-oppression.

God I feel oppressed/depressed. (doesn't help when I get my butt kicked in Yahoo Chess either - usually I do pretty good :o)

btw...I am sickened to the heart researching treatment of native peoples and mixed progeny...for the book/movie script. I am faltering at the wisdom of being brutally truthful - far worst than I imagined, the "residential schools" have to be among the top horrors of the 20th century...

I do not trouble with that I cannot change nor that which I cannot lay a hand to....to know of travesties we commit on ourselves is incentive enough to seek retribution through dialogue. We make a bargain with our self when creating an explorational curve of dimension for the pure pleasure of creation....it is the dualistic nature of orthogenesis that diametric opposites must be experienced.
