Topic: Spiritual evolution


  
  Spiritual evolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spiritual evolution is the philosophical/theological/esoteric idea that nature and human beings and/or human culture evolve along a predetermined cosmological pattern or ascent, or in accordance with certain pre-determined potentials.
Spiritual evolution, rather than being a physical (or physico-spiritual) process is based on the idea of realms or stages through which the soul or spirit passes in a non-temporal, qualitative way.
Future evolution requires dedicated spiritual effort, by which the faculties of Body, Life and Mind are transformed through the action of the Divine Soul ("Psychisation") and the transcendent Spirit ("Spiritualisation"), leading to the realisation of progressive levels of Spiritual Mind and culminating in the individual and collective realisation of the Supermind.

 Evolution: Theosophy Occultism Mysticism Dictionary on Evolution
The only difference between evolution and growth is that the former is a general term, and the latter is a specific and particular phase of this procedure of nature.
Evolution is one of the oldest concepts and teachings of the archaic wisdom, although in ancient days the concept was usually expressed by the word emanation.

 Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy, Lesson 12: Spiritual Evolution
And, so far from the spiritually awakened Man being compelled to suffer continuous involuntary rebirths, he is not reborn except with his own consent and desire, and with a continuance of consciousness - this continuance of consciousness depending upon the spiritual attainment reached.
Spiritual attainment is slow and arduous, but every inch gained is so much further on, and you can never slip back, nor lose the slightest part of what you've gained.
This gradual awakening to spiritual consciousness, is what is causing all this unrest in the world of thought - this breaking away from old ideals and forms - this hunger for the truth - this running to and fro after new truths, and old truths restated.

 What is Spiritual Evolution?
Spiritual evolution means that your ensouling entity, your Soul, works through the karma separating it from the next nodal point (a nodal point is a station in which the Soul dwells on its path) on its spiritual path.
While some spiritual evolution occurs just as a result of karmic working-through, this process is very slow.
Spiritual evolution is all about undergoing this process of transformation.

From experience, it seems to be one of the Guides primary objectives to work upon every client, not only to assist in healing, but also to do everything within their power to lead a person into an evolutionary pathway by raising their vibration.
How the Guides work to bring about evolution is primarily to remove any blockages within the energy system and tune the system to its maximum potential at that moment in time.
At this point, these energies might be impinging upon the consciousness and causing energy blockages in the chakras or energy turmoil in the aura and, of course, slowing down their vibration.
