The Law of Growth and Evolution
You can learn the law of Growth and Evolution. Growth refers to an increase in size, weight, powers and complexity. It also means a gradual development toward maturity. In biology individual growth, as a process by which organisms develop and change form from a fertilized egg into an adult, is referred to as ontogeny.
One misconception concerning positive, constructive growth processes is that they do not include errors or destruction. In many cases they do. Accepting this truth can take a lot of pressure off ourselves and those whom we must evaluate, such as our children or employees under us at work. Mistakes are an inherent part of this divine law; it is incorrect to think that we have to develop perfectly in order to grow spiritually.
Cellular Metabolism
Cellular metabolism is a good example of this bipolar aspect of growth. Life-sustaining processes of cellular components and chemicals at the cell level are characterized by degradation as well as synthesis.
Regenerative cycle of life
Ecologists and people of primitive religions know this well: death, decay and transmutation are integral parts of the regenerative cycle of life. In a nonphysical growth process known as the behavior of learning, trial and error is perfectly normal and natural. Any human behaviorist will agree that making errors is a legitimate part of the learning process.
Certainly, many errors can be described as evil and even heinous. But the positive effect of errors in constructive growth processes has not often been acknowledged. Such misunderstandings have had a tremendously atrophic effect on man’s mental, emotional, soul and spiritual development.
Hindu Interpretation Differs From Christian
The attitude of the Hindu in this matter is as different from that of the Christian as day is from night. Hinduism deifies death and destruction. Shiva, the Destroyer, is no less than the third person, or quality, of the Hindu trinity! The name Shiva (siva) means “auspicious,” that which affords signs of a successful result. Shiva destroys the ego, but he is also the one who conquers death. What makes this so important for Christianity is that it recalls to mind the only figure in Christianity who conquered death: Jesus, of the Christian trinity.
Destruction is not Evil
But destruction, of itself, is not evil. For the process of growth and evolution is a period of dissolution or consumption and re-formation. Therefore, the development stage of destruction, in a constructive process of growth, is not in itself evil or error. But man, seeing this process, partly understanding this process, has leaned toward this process and has named it evil.
The law of growth and evolution
True evil, then, is when the destructive or negative polarity of growth which is to say, dissolution or disintegration outweighs its positive pole, which is the constructive, integrating aspect. To have harmony in our lives, equilibrium between the two poles of this law must be maintained.
Here then is the key to this particular unfoldment and revelation, that which is your own capacity for constructive growth. You must be able to use it constructively, which is good, which is for promoting the motion of life and light and truth and love, where you are in a manner that will serve not only your own growth and opportunities but serve the whole; as you are but a part of the whole, and the whole is concerned with each one of its parts.
Spiritual laws work together
Conclusion
To complete a cohesive and infinite universe, the spiritual universal laws must be in sync with each other. Each law relies on the existence of the other laws . Making a complete cycle of all that is. Now is the time to get a copy of Mark’s insightful book “Spiritual Laws You Must Know’.
