A UNIVERSE OF EVOLVING CONSCIOUSNESS                        EVOLVE.TXT
       -----------------------------------------------------------------------
       THE UNIVERSE WHICH ONE EXPERIENCES HERE IS A PLACE OF EVOLVING
       CONSCIOUSNESS.

       UNKNOWN TO THE PHYSICAL SCIENTISTS EACH AND EVER ATOM IN THE UNIVERSE IS
       CONSCIOUS. IT IS, HOWEVER, A VERY TINY MINUSCULE CONSCIOUSNESS.

       WHEN A NUMBER OF ATOMS FORM A MOLECULE, THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE
       MOLECULE IS FAR LARGER THAN THE SUM OF CONSCIOUSNESS OF ITS ATOMS.

       EACH SIMPLE LIVING THING HAS MANY MANY MOLECULES AND THE SUM OF ITS
       CONSCIOUSNESS IS FAR LARGER THAN THE SUM THE OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF ITS
       MOLECULES.

       EACH LIVING CREATURE, ONE CELLED PLANTS, ONE CELLED ANIMALS AND
       ALL CREATURES MORE COMPLEX, HAVE CONSCIOUSNESS, ARE CONSCIOUS BEINGS.
       EACH HAS A SOUL, IS A SOUL. THE SOUL OF THE SIMPLEST LIVING BEINGS ARE
       VERY SMALL, VERY PRIMITIVE, AND UN-DEVELOPED. WHEN THE BEING (SOUL)
       LEAVES ITS BODY, WHEN ITS BODY DIES, IT TAKES REBIRTH AGAIN AND AGAIN,
       EXPERIENCING, GROWING AND DEVELOPING. SLOWLY IT MOVES UP THE
       EVOLUTIONARY CHAIN THAT EXISTS ON THIS PLANET, TAKING BIRTH IN
       INCREASINGLY MORE COMPLEX LIVING FORMS.

       AFTER CONTINUOUSLY AND SLOWLY MOVING UP THE EVOLUTIONARY CHAIN, THE
       SOUL EVENTUALLY BECOMES SUFFICIENTLY DEVELOPED TO TAKE BIRTH IN HUMAN
       FORM.

       SINCE THE NUMBER OF HUMAN BEINGS BEING BORN ON THE PLANET IS VERY 
       SMALL, COMPARED TO THE NUMBER OF OTHER LIVING CREATURES BEING BORN AND
       THE NUMBER OF SOULS READY TO TAKE BIRTH IN LIVING CREATURES IS VERY 
       LARGE, BEING BORN IN A HUMAN BODY IS A VERY VERY GREAT BLESSING.
       IT IS A GREAT BLESSING BECAUSE MOST SOULS ON THE PLANET ARE LIVING IN
       LOWER LIFE FORMS. THE LOWER LIFE FORMS DO NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO
       FULFILL A SOUL'S TRUE PURPOSE FOR EXISTENCE. SOULS WHO HAVE BEEN
       GIVEN A HUMAN BODY TO LIVE IN THIS LIFE MAY NOT BE REBORN IN ONE IN 
       THEIR NEXT LIFE.
      
       IT IS SAID, 
      
       "A SOUL TAKES BIRTH IN A BODY, IN GIVEN CIRCUMSTANCES ACCORDING TO ITS
       MERIT AND WORKS (IT'S KARMA) IN IT'S PAST LIVES."
     
       "OFTEN ONCE A SOUL BEGINS TAKING BIRTHS IN HUMAN FORM, THE SOUL -MAY-
       CONTINUE DOING SO UNTIL AN UNDERSTANDING IS REACHED OF WHY ONE IS DOING
       SO. AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT ONE'S PRIMARY PURPOSE IN LIFE AND IN LIVING
       IS. THEN, BECAUSE OF THIS UNDERSTANDING, ONE BEGINS THE PROCESS OF
       SELF-CULTIVATION THAT EVENTUALLY RESULTS IN SELF-REALIZATION
       (ENLIGHTENMENT-TOTAL UNION WITH GOD)."

       "THAT SOULS WHO REACH ENLIGHTENMENT WHILE IN HUMAN FORM, LIVE IN
       CONTINUOUS BLISS AND HAPPINESS, CREATE NO POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE KARMA
       BY THEIR ACTIONS, ARE FREED FROM THE ENDLESS CYCLE OF BIRTHS-DEATHS
       WHEN THEY LEAVE THEIR BODIES AND MOVE ON TO OTHER "EXISTENCES".

       "THAT MOST SOULS WHO REACH ENLIGHTENMENT WHILE IN HUMAN FORM, CHOSE TO
       REMAIN IN THE BODY FOR THE REST OF THE TIME THEY HAD BEEN ALLOCATED TO
       LIVE IN THAT BODY, INSTEAD OF DEPARTING IT WHEN THEY REACH 
       ENLIGHTENMENT. THEY DO THIS SO THEY CAN TEACH AND ASSIST OTHERS TOWARD
       REACHING THEIR TRUE PURPOSE IN LIFE."
