Evolution Next — XI
By Alok Pandey - Jul 15, 2017
Evolution is not a simple straight line nor is it exhausted with one brief life. If evolution is real then logically we have to bring in the idea of next life. This changes our entire perspective on child education and upbringing. We need to help them prepare for the future. This needs a new understanding and a new initiative.

Evolution is often a challenging task. It carves its way through a conflict of forces, even a battle, that demolishes past forms that are not ready to change. It is also challenging since it means stepping out of our comfort-zones and entering the adventure of the New and the Unknown. Nevertheless evolution sometimes forces itself upon us whether we like it or not. It is only with passage of time that we begin to appreciate the changes in leading us through narrow gates and long stretches of desert lands us in the promised land of the future. Such an evolution seems to be happening today and we can have the privilege of participating in it and flowing with it.
Evolution Next XIII — a perilous bridge

The evolutionary journey has its own dangers and perils. It is full of the unpredictable as our past and present formation of nature adapts to the new. Nature tries and tests our limits, creating a number of sub-types and abortive sub-species before finally yielding the old and arriving at a new poise. It is this we seem to be passing through now.

We can regard evolution as a mechanical, inconscient process or a conscious unfolding. If it be the former then there it is like a blind and random process at a mega scale where no one really has any particular role in it. But if it is a conscious process with a direction and a plan, then we can not only observe it but also consciously participate in it. There are several levels at which Nature unfolds itself creating several levels of self-awareness. What is seen as unconscious at one level may well be seen as conscious at another. What appears as lifeless and inert at one level of vision and understanding may appear teeming with life and even idea at another, life pushing matter to organise itself in certain ways.

Evolution has its own hazards. When the moment of the great leap appears, Nature undoes the past limits temporarily to help the species to escape from its confines. But this may also mean that the safety lines are no longer there and there is a risk for retrogression. It is a difficult and narrow passage through which Nature must negotiate. Human beings may have attempted this leap a number of times before and documented its dangers as a lesson for the future. This part explores the main danger, especially the confusion that may arise between outer technological evolution and inner spiritual and psychological evolution.
