Evolution Points

March 13, 2024

The evolution of man is made up of stories about transcending human bondages. The evolving man is the transcendent being.

People have been sold that evolution owes itself to survival, but this is one of those moments in the history of man where the man had been so disconnected with his divinity and had sunk in the depths of the material, therefore losing sight of the spiritual dimension of humanity.

Evolution requires transformation, and the man is to transform into a better form, otherwise it is devolution or stagnation. It is when he moves along in a forward momentum and finds his quality of life improving in relation to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspect of a man that is what we are to look for in terms of evolution.

Survival is a defense mechanism, and it is born out of men in their struggle to evolve, born in the midst of not knowing the proper way of doing things or not having the kind of philosophy that is required for true progression. The reason men were at war, why they found it hard to get along and work with each other towards a common vision or goal is because evolution is not happening. It is either stagnation or devolution. When you have these two in civilisation, there will be struggle, a lot of miscommunications and conflict, dysfunction. Men will be fearful and prone or predisposed to external influences and that's basically how power struggles are born, corruption and tyranny is born.

Philosophy is important in civilisation. Community health and wellness is connected to the philosophy of its people. When people are trapped or stuck in a philosophy of survival, then they don't get evolution but devolution or stagnation. Because again, survival is a thing born out of defensiveness and where there is defensiveness, there is intolerance, and where there is intolerance, there is fear. Fear is a thing that blocks or prevents forward momentum. You have people living their lives with a philosophy of survival, you're gonna have all sorts of wars. These people will only know war as a way of settling differences or ending conflict. And in spiritual communities, people know that war doesn't even settle differences or end conflict but actually sustain them and breeds them. And that's why they are known for the gentle ways, the peaceful ways of settling differences and ending conflict.

I am inviting you to look into wars and see if that ever settled differences or ended conflicts.

Men at war are stuck in an evolution point. They can't get on the highway because of the traffic, they can't get on the high road. Because it looks like cattle on the road. People are blocking each other's view, they're butting heads saying 'this way, we go this way', and the more stubborn a man is, well, then the more he gets to go his way, which isn't even the way to the high road because he himself couldn't see with all the cattle.

Not knowing the right way of doing things is what creates wars.

But war zones are evolution points. It's an entry point to the highway. The problem occurs when people get stuck there and stagnate there because that's when devolution could happen. The man starts off not knowing what to do to get a good quality of life and then somewhere in the midst of the cattle and butting heads, he loses his head.

Conflict and drama are evolution points. It's like a stage in human development. But how people get forward momentum is by settling the differences and ending conflict, that's how they get to evolve further and get on a higher road. Otherwise, they stay there and continue to figure out what they're doing wrong. But then they're asking the question: Who's wrong? instead of the right question, which is: What are we doing wrong?

People at war, butting heads, they're afraid of one thing. They're afraid to be mistaken. They're afraid to be the wrong one. And that's why they get all defensive, they're protecting themselves - but that's what they think they're protecting. 'Cause it's not. It's just the ego that they're protecting when they're afraid to be the one who's wrong.

If you want to get on the high road, you have to work on that problem, that ego problem. 'Cause you don't get on the high road if you're afraid to find out you're wrong. 'Cause your ego will get in the way of knowing the right way. You will persist in the wrong way of doing things and your quality of life will be impacted. You will get stuck on that road with those cattle. People lose their heads in traffic jams. When people lose their heads, accidents happen. But why are there even traffic jams? It's the system, the framework, it's not working. The philosophy is bad.

People at war are asking the wrong questions. The question is very simple. What are people doing wrong? How is the philosophy bad? How is the philosophy not working for the people?

If you're afraid of being wrong, you won't even ask any of these questions. But there goes the quality of your life. There goes you as far as evolution goes. You're at war. Your life will feel like a movie.

When life starts feeling like a movie, that's when you get an opportunity to go high level thinking, to go a step up the ladder and get that view of the road you're on. High level thinking is like getting on a stage or just an elevated surface and looking at what people are doing. People practice high level thinking when they're watching movies and reading books. And because these are situations where the person gets to separate himself from others to examine life. When you go high level thinking, that's where you get to see what people are doing wrong, not who's wrong, but what is being done wrong, what makes people's philosophy bad.

Life feels like a movie for people at war, people stuck at an evolution point, somewhere near the entry point to a higher road.

Why is that? 'Cause people don't get empowered at war. They feel powerless, manipulated, controlled. Like they're just pawns or pieces on a board. But that's just really a feeling. From a spiritual standpoint, it's just an illusion. It's really tricky. But when you feel that way, that's just because you won't make a move. And when people don't move, they get moved by the cattle. When people don't have autonomy, when they aren't making decisions for themselves, when they're not taking charge, that's when they get moved and they feel powerless, manipulated, controlled. Why they don't get empowered is because this is where people don't make a move, they don't tap into their personal power. They kind of forget that they have that power to go high level thinking and view the situation from a place separate from the cattle.

So, it's like being stationary that people could transcend by making a move towards the right way, living their lives with a good philosophy.

When people say their lives feel like a movie, that's what I would see - they're not making a move and they're getting moved around that way and to places they don't wanna be in. It's about autonomy, taking charge. Otherwise, people, they know that it's the philosophy, it is what they do.

But a lot of the evolution of man, he owes from high level thinking, seeing the big picture, 'cause that's how he gets to free himself from personal bondages. People think doing things right is overrated, and that it's like discounting that people make mistakes and that's what makes them human. But it's not really discounting anything, doing things right. So, you made a mistake, now you know what the right thing to do was, now you do it that way, you do it right. It is not overrated, because we're talking about the quality of your life here. So, you realize you made that mistake of allowing yourself to get moved around by the cattle. That's good, now you know. Other people don't even know that. You know now, now you can do it right. You know now that's bad philosophy, now you can replace it with the good one.

You know, you think it's good when you know and you don't do it and because other people don't know yet. But it's not good actually, because you are gonna contribute to that bad philosophy. How? 'Cause those people would see what you're doing and they'd think 'Oh, I'm fine. Bob's doing it, too, doing what they said.' What you do is what you offer. What you do is what you make available.

I know what I am offering, it's a different view of things. But this is what I offer, because this is what I found. I see cattle. It's like somebody going, 'Hey, that road is known for traffic jams.' but doesn't end it there, he also goes, 'There's this road, you get on it and you won't get a headache.'

If you care about people and don't want headaches for them, that's what you do. You don't go down that road with the cattle and play bump cars, you go where it is not like that, and then you offer that route.
