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.

But who can know death? The dead do not tell tales. And the living do not experience death. True we can know something about the process of death of the body. We can perhaps answer what happens to the body when someone dies. But can one know the state of one who has experienced death?

Allopathic physicians can mock this yet the Americans are willing to spend millions researching it. Do we have an explanation as to what is happening? This article explores the occult and spiritual Truths behind the phenomena….

There have always been transitions in the evolutionary journey as the human being arose from the bird and beast. The Time-Spirit now presses for a unique transition towards the superman. It is unique, as unlike the bird and the beast, the evolutionary force needs a conscious collaboration from the depths of one’s being.

We had an unexpected visitor the other day. Well, not quite so, given the fact that ‘it is the hour of the unexpected’. Nevertheless we did not expect a monkey to enter the house by the third floor and move about the house as if he were quite familiar with the ways of human beings. Not that we have much to boast about, but we somehow nurture a sense of superiority over the animal kind. Even the most depressed person, someone suffering from a constant inferiority complex, (which, by the way, is only the obverse side of a hidden wish for superiority) would normally not regard himself as inferior to an animal. Darwin told us so. We are superior animals, intelligent beings, better equipped for survival than all other creatures from the virus to God knows whatever else. Only the aliens may surpass us in cunning and intelligence. As a human species we are always told to look down upon a poor creature on the road, to pity or avoid it. There is nothing we can learn from it, though we can use it for our domestic purposes or for entertainment. Of course I have known people wallowing in states where they feel themselves worse than a worm. Perhaps that is what retrogression is and not the way we describe it, grotesquely and a little dramatically, as people recounting all their past lives in an animal form in such detail as if it was something great remembering one’s worm-hood or monkey-hood.
