DIALOGUE

Evolution. Creation.

We remain in constant battle with these two halves. We tell people their faith in a creator is wrong or that the theory of evolution is invalid based on the fact that it cannot be tested or re-created. We forget that spirituality and science are intertwined.

We find sanctuary in spiritualism. We find understanding in science.

Are we bodies or souls? Souls or bodies? But I ask, why is this yet again a debate? Our souls - energy entities - and bodies - physical entities - grow together. Evolve together. Not apart.

Evolution. Creation.

A dialogue.

This dialogue is emphasized in the Vedanta philosophy of Hinduism, which focuses on the evolution of consciousness that in turn governs the evolution of the human body. The philosophy points to an unconditional acceptance of our soul’s evolvement, cyclical in nature through birth and death as it passes through physical beings. Vedanta also takes into account that if the universe manifests, an evolutionary process, then it also unmanifests, a devolutionary process.

To grasp the essential nature of reality, we have to look at the whole picture. Not pick between halves.

So I say this again. Evolution. Creation.

A dialogue.
