The Evolutionary Cycle and the Speeding Up of the Evolutionary Cycle

1
00:00:01,300 --> 00:00:05,600
When we reflect on the evolution
of Consciousness, it becomes

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,900
obvious to us.
That nothing can evolve out of

3
00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:12,300
matter.
That is not already involved in

4
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:16,700
some way.
We plant an acorn and an oak

5
00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:21,100
tree grows someone unfamiliar
with the science would treat

6
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:25,700
this as a magical event.
We put one form of matter, the

7
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:30,800
acorn into another form, of
matter, the soil, and a living

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,300
being in the form of a tree
results.

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,600
With our relatively recent
understanding of the mechanics

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,400
of DNA and RNA Etc.
We are able to appreciate that

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,600
the oak trees Form and Function
was actually encoded in the

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,700
acorn.
That is it was a form of matter

13
00:00:51,700 --> 00:00:56,300
that contain the blueprint and
activation capacities for the

14
00:00:56,300 --> 00:00:58,500
development of life out of
matter.

15
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,600
If we follow this line of
understanding we also see that

16
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,900
Justice life was involved in
matter and thus able to evolve

17
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:14,300
under the right circumstances.
So also mind is involved in life

18
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,700
and matter and thus is able to
manifest under its correct

19
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:22,800
circumstances.
All of this represents what we

20
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,900
now can see, as the normal
process of nature in its

21
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:32,200
Universal manifestation.
There is, however, a qualitative

22
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,500
change that occurs with the
evolution of the human mind.

23
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,700
Not only is there a mechanical
action of mental power and

24
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:43,300
rudimentary ability to
manipulate outer circumstances

25
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,700
material substance and impact
life forms.

26
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:53,100
But there is now a reflective
self-aware, entity that develops

27
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:58,700
at a certain point in its own
Evolution and aspiration for

28
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:03,000
knowledge.
Like Light growth and increasing

29
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,100
power of achievement in the
world.

30
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,200
This self-aware self-reflective
power, makes it now possible for

31
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,100
the human being to actively
participate in and speed up the

32
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:20,900
evolutionary process.
It is this power of directing a

33
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:24,700
focus and speeding up the
process that provides the

34
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:30,200
leverage to leave behind the
slow plotting evolutionary cycle

35
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,700
that has up till now taken place
in increments of hundreds of

36
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:38,300
thousands and even millions of
years.

37
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,400
SRI aurobindo observes quote,
here, everything is, shut up

38
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,300
from the first, in the violently
working in content, sleep of

39
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:52,600
material Force.
Therefore, the whole aim of any

40
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,900
material, becoming must be the
waking of Consciousness out of

41
00:02:56,900 --> 00:03:01,000
the in content, the whole
consummation of a material

42
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,800
becoming just be the removal of
the veil of matter and the

43
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:12,900
Luminous revelation of the
entirely self content being to

44
00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:19,000
its own imprisoned soul in the
becoming the appearance of human

45
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,900
mind and body on the earth marks
a crucial step.

46
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,700
A decisive change in the course
and process of evolution, it is

47
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:32,800
not merely a continuation of the
old lines up till this Advent of

48
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,000
a developed thinking mind, and
matter Evolution had been

49
00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:42,300
affected not by the self-aware
aspiration intention will or

50
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:47,200
seeking of the living being, but
subconsciously or subliminally.

51
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:50,100
By the automatic operation of
nature.

52
00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:54,200
This was so because the
evolution began from the in

53
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,500
Contents and the secret
Consciousness had not yet

54
00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:01,400
emerged.
Sufficiently from it to operate

55
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,800
through the self-aware,
participating individual will of

56
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,700
its living creature.
But in man, the necessary change

57
00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:13,800
has been made the being has
become awake and aware of

58
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,100
himself.
There has been made manifest in

59
00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:22,600
mind, its will to develop to
grow in knowledge to deepen the

60
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,500
inner and widen the outer
existence to increase the

61
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:33,100
capacities of the nature in him.
Then the substitution of a

62
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:38,200
conscious for a sub, conscious
evolution has become conceivable

63
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,400
and practicable and it may well
be concluded that the aspiration

64
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,100
the urge The persistent Endeavor
in him is a sure sign of

65
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:54,800
Nature's will for a higher way.
To fulfillment, the emergence of

66
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,200
a greater status.
