Having had a chance to browse the forum properly, I love it! It seems there are a lot of like minded people here. I love the idea of spiritual evolution and can feel it just around the corner!
I am no expert, these are just my own thoughts on the impending spiritual evolution..why it is going to happen and what we could expect.
I believe that everything we experience can be put into 2 categories...the explained and the unexplained. The explained are those that can be rationalised by science and logic, the unexplained those things that we currently have no explanation for and are labelled as supernatural, or magic, fate or destiny. Some people put these experiences down to a religious one and it strengthens their faith in their God or Gods, and they have no need to search any further for answers. Some people are not religious and search further, not being satisfied with simple faith, they want more answers. As science moves forward in leaps and bounds we are on the brink of finding these answers, and of realisation of what we are and what we are capable of. There are some that think if science cannot explain something NOW then it is impossible and they convince themselves it didnt happen. That ghost they saw was a trick of the light. That phsychic experience they had was pure coincidence. That too good to be true series of events that brought them to the love of their life, was just a random set of events that were very lucky.
But more and more people are getting turned on to the idea that there is something more...something that we will one day understand and accept as a part of being human. The untapped power of our minds, of our spirits, is slowly being tuned in.
Major physical evolution doesnt occur gradually over many many years...there was no smooth transition from ape to man. It happens in growth spurts, in a mutated gene that suddenly overuns the species population and alters everything within a few generations, then it stops until the next time. Of course, there are still minor changes that happen smoothly and gradually..for example we are much taller on average than we were in tudor times, and our brains are still growing, but I am talking about the BIG changes that radically alter a species.
Major evolutionary jumps occur when the species survival is threatened, for example by a new bigger predator or environmental changes. Humans have no need of physical evolution as we are (rightly or wrongly) the masters of our environment, and we have no natural predators. Physically, we are sound. But our species is threatened.
We are a threat to ourselves. We are destroying the environment that supports us, we are killing eachother in religious wars and wars for power and control, we are our own predator. We are making ourselves infertile with our lifestyles and chemicals, overpopulating countries that cannot support that much human life, we are destroying our own species and will make ourselves extinct.
So what would be the next, logical evolutionary jump? And we are due one.
A spiritual evolution would bring us back to harmony, bring us back in tune with nature and eachother, reconnect us to the source of life.
Our collective intelligence has brought us to the brink of understanding the universe in a way that will change our lives forever. Physicists more and more agree that everything is connected, everything is equal and malleable. Science is bringing us to a level of understanding of ourselves that goes beyond the physical and reaches the spiritual, the metaphysical, the previously impossible conclusions that could soon explain everything that was unexplainable. It is already happening and I am honoured and privileged to be alive in this age.
A spiritual evolution is the next logical step, and it is already evident in the last few generations...children being born with amazing gifts...savants, indigo children, whatever you want to label them are being born more and more frequently. They are labelled as different, but it wont be long until they are the norm. With this new influx of insight and intelligence comes a deeper understanding of our potential.
Wow I waffled there, sorry lol, i'll stop now :roll:
