Evolution
<p>The Cosmic Will, or One Life, begins its work of physical evolution, working from lowly forms to higher and higher, the benefits of acquired conscious experience being transmitted
through the laws of Sequence or Heredity. In this way the lower animals advanced in the scale of evolution, and Man appeared. But Man was, and in many cases is now, but a higher form of the lower animals—his soul life comes later. As Man
advanced in the scale, there were evolved personalities which experienced the pangs of soul‑birth. They felt the struggles of the developing Something Within, and began to realize that
they were individuals—the “I Am” began to manifest itself. These individuals were not always “good” people—both poles of the opposites manifested here as elsewhere—they were simply stronger and more soulful people—people who felt the
Real Self within them. Thus were the Egos evolved.</p>
<p>
...as we advance in the great scale of Consciousness, we come into a closer recognition and consciousness of the One, and the One comes into a closer recognition and consciousness of us. Finally, at the High Noon of Cosmic Consciousness, we come to know that we are the One—and the One comes to know that it
is us. And toward this is the aim and goal of Spiritual Evolution.</p>
<p>
W en the scale of Man was reached by Evolution, there was but little change in the manifestation of Spiritual Survival of the Fittest, for primitive Man was but a little more than an intelligent beast.</p>
