WHAT IS MAN?
Man is the mid-point of evolution. From absolute separation (two-pole points everywhere, called by physicists "sub-quantum fields") through to man, Love takes the form of outer absorption; a feeling of outer absorption. From chaos to man, all species, all realms, increase their own will, their love, their energy, by incorporating a part of the surrounding world which they bring together: Firstly, two-pole points become an inner level when a proto-particle, which includes them, defines its territory (its body, its zone of influence). Subsequently, consciousness becomes that of an atom instead of being scattered into many particles. Consciousness becomes the atom's consciousness because it is impossible to remain eternally " many " when your unconscious goal, the cause of your existence, is unity. You always try to become one. And atoms will do the same.
Atoms do the same by gathering together into "atomic galaxies". Always associating with "collegues" outside. Later, unification will give rise to LIFE, when external energy (the sun's heat for instance), dilates the atoms (when atoms are dilated enough, particles become capable of revolving around another nucleus in their atomic galaxy, and in other galaxies, and this causes fluid mechanics, then chemistry, and then life).
Life is a new means of progressing towards unity, since, at a given moment, this progression was stopped by atom's mechanical equilibrium and stability: Particles were obliged to remain at a certain distance from the nuclei. Fluid mechanics allows for new combinations. And life is the same model: a cell is a center (nucleus) and a frontier (cell membrane, outer "electrons" or satellites for atoms). Cells are the vegetable level whereas atoms are the mineral level: The mineral way of life, of evolution.
The mineral way of loving is "gravity". For cells and vegetables, love is almost the same: consumption. Eating the friends around them, or "eating" minerals, to include them within, and become a little more infinite.
Beyond vegetables, you can see how animals love. They are less numerous, they are freer, and there again they feel a little more alone. Their way of loving is sex. This still represents an attempt to include the other, felt to be outside, thus pulled inside to become one, to become the infinite. And so animals continue evolving towards freedom and loneliness.
Then animals give rise to man. Right. What is the difference? The difference is that man is now able to admit he is alone. Animals hate to be alone. They live in herds, following one, and only one, will. And when man becomes a man, he too likes to live in "herds". Particularily for as long as he has not become adult. Teenagers need the unity of a group. Sexuality helps animals to realize that they are alone. Some do. Some people do also.
Loneliness helps man to understand that the surrounding world remains outside, even if he gathers bodies together. Gathering people to have power over them is useless. Making love with everybody is useless too. Eating children is even more useless. Nothing gives peace of mind because there will always be somebody outside to be included. PHYSICAL UNIFICATION DOES NOT PREVENT MENTAL SEPARATION.
All kinds of love, from two-pole points and atoms up till man, have tried to include the outer world, to become bigger. But this is useless. You always feel the same separation. There is always something or someone more to incorporate, to introduce into one's life. Peace is impossible in this way, and man is capable of understanding this.
So one day, man says: "separation is a mental process. I cannot cancel it out by a physical process. Only a mental process can ACHIEVE unity." This means unity can only be made from within. Not outside. RELIGION is born. Now man is a real man.
EVOLUTION BEYOND MAN
Thus, man is the mid-point of evolution. He stops searching outside so as to concentrate himself on the SELF, where unity is already accomplished. And now a new kind of evolution starts, a spiritual evolution, which has no end, since the goal is infinite. There is no limit to our evolution. Physical evolution has no end because we always create somebody else to love. This means that THE GOAL OF SEX AND LOVE IS NOT REPRODUCTION: ON THE CONTRARY, REPRODUCTION'S GOAL IS TO HAVE SOMEBODY TO LOVE. Spiritual evolution has no end either because we cannot reach the unreachable. We cannot attain the goal by evolving in time, since the goal is not somewhere in time. The goal is already attained, and has always been attained: it is the present moment. The nil present moment of infinite Nothingness, which IS, already now. Always. The evolution of consciousness is there to permit it to be, for as long as Nothingness is a necessity, for as long consciousness feels itself to be evolving. In other words : forever. We are doomed to love more and more, to live in higher and higher love, eternally. Isn't that nice?
If spiritual evolution is also never-ending, what is the solution? There is no solution. The only solution is the third option: to stop believing in evolution. There is no actual evolution since all is already accomplished. The upper kingdoms still exist, but feeling infinitely more and more infinite. Angels, Archangels and so on, even Christ, even Melchisedech are still evolving, and feel very, very far from "God". Even when you are in Samadhi, or Nirvana, or ecstasy, or in absolute peace of vacuity, even when you are Buddha or Saï Baba, you feel very, very small, compared to the Absolute. You know that it is impossible to evolve. You know that the only truth is not in trying to evolve, nor in trying to love and love more, it is only in being what we are, where we are, at the time when we are. That is all. If I do so, if I deeply live and accept my life in the present moment, then I am infinite, then I am God, then I am he who does not evolve because he is absolute.
This is the only favor I can do for "God", and "He" has never asked for anything else. The Father makes the Son, He does it in all possible ways, and each way of being the Son, each personal universe, must be completely lived by he who chose it. If the son is happy, the father is happy. He does not beg for thanks. He only loves to see his son happy. Be happy, and God is. That is why the second volume of this book is entitled:
"SCIENCE OF HAPPINESS"
All the Spiritual, Ontological and Psychological
Consequences of Metaphysical Knowledge.
When you have all the elements to say: "OK, I agree, this theory is completely satisfactory and I accept it to lead my life.The basic principles stated in the beginning turn out to be true, since only they are able to clear up the mystery of matter. Then, they are probably appropriate to live by, and I will try never to deviate from them, difficult though this may be".
This is only the beginning for you. Little by little, you become aware of all the incredible changes it brings to your life. A theory is not something intellectual. It remains intellectual only for those who have not enough courage to apply it to their lives. Nothing is more fruitful for man than a correct understanding of the universe.
But as long as you don't have every element of proof, you can still say maybe the "Big Bang" theory or something else is more convincing. Then you are never sure of anything; always searching, never in peace.
CONTINUATION TO ORIGIN OF ORGANIC LIFE.
