SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION ~*~
Namaste,
I hope the day embraces you and guides you to fulfillment.
Today, I’d like to share some insights as to the nature of Spiritual evolution.
As you are surely aware, there is much turmoil in the world at present. Our resources are being taxed to dangerous levels. Collectively, we have dangerously tainted the waters, skies, reduced top soils to dangerously low levels, and overheated the planet.
Our medical, educational, political, banking, and industrial systems are all based on an isolationists or “science based” model. This “idea-based” model of perception seriously negates wholeness and perceives compartmentalized outcomes as legitimate measures of success, all the while negating their cost to wholeness – to the planet and the people at large.
We have more disease and suicide in any category you can measure than ever. People have become dangerously complacent, allowing “State” to make critical decisions about the use of resources.
We have given up our rights to represent our individual values, allowing the state to determine how we are represented internationally. Terrorism continues to be the “call word” to justify war, which is essentially yet another mode of deception to justify theft of resources with smoke and mirrors tactics.
Is there a gift hiding amidst the rubble here?
The world evolution means to evolve, to become something greater, more beautiful, more functional, more compatible with the reality of the given time and environment. Darwin’s view of natural selection could be stated as describing that which inevitably occurs (for better or for worse) when any living organism doesn’t adapt to the selective pressures of nature.
But, what is our nature?
We know we are not just a body.
We dream and have very vividly real experiences without any perception of a body. Therefore, we must be more than just a body.
We think, yet we know that we are more than the sum of our thoughts.
We come to realize this when we’ve done everything we thought we should do or be doing in our relationships, yet we experience emotions that defy logical thinking.
We can’t just be emotions, because without thoughts to interpret our emotions, we would have no means of differentiating happy emotions from sad ones, emotions of connection from emotions of disconnection.
So, if we obviously aren’t just body, mind or emotion, what are we?
If you are reading this, you are sentient. To be sentient means that you are aware of your thoughts and feelings. You are aware that you live, largely as a product of ESSENTIAL relationships.
Consciousness then, must be our first and most essential relationship, for without it, we can’t be sentient.
Without consciousness, we can’t care for a body. Without consciousness, we can’t choose, this or that thought or emotion, nor could we interpret our feelings. All our relationships ultimately depend upon consciousness as First Principle.
Evolution Of Spirit
Spirit is a word that describes the transition of states. When anything (sentient or inert) becomes more of, or less of, spirit is expressed.
Spirit and movement express each other.
Consciousness as a principle is not dependent upon spirit.
Consciousness, as I experience it, is a state of Absolute Equilibrium. I describe consciousness as the reconciliation of spirit.
When spirit moves anything, “consciousness of” emerges. This is the source of Mind as an overarching principle; mind, movement, time and spirit are interchangeable in this regard.
We naturally evolved with nature such that our bodies were created as they are now. Therefore, the environments we were in created the bodies we have now. That is anthropomorphic evolution.
Yet, we clearly have different minds or mental structures than other creatures in nature. Would you be able to drive your car to work if suddenly, your consciousness were replaced by that of a dog? No.
Therefore, you see that though a dog’s body has evolved to serve its function in nature, the dog has taken a different path of psychogenic evolution; dog bodies have dog minds and emotions.
Human beings are the tip of the evolutionary sward so-to-speak. We have evolved to the point of loving ideas more than we love the reality of the relationships we once honored as essential to our survival.
A dog doesn’t honor having a cool looking car. The dog honors having enough to eat and enough water to drink so it can express its dogginess.
As we’ve fallen in love with “things”, we’ve become like dogs that worship cars and castles while at the same time, ignoring what is essential for not only our own survival as human beings, but for the survival of all life-forms that support our own.
We have created systems for feeding, watering and protecting that are exclusive. We feed and water ourselves without any respect for the very fabric of life from which we feed. We evolved to the point that we even forgot that we need each other.
Our evolution has been so overly psychogenic or mind-based, that we not only place greater value on our money and stuff than we do our own bodies, but we also place more value on our stuff than the bodies and lives of other human beings. We became so heady that we developed systems of religion that worshiped words on paper as god and were willing to kill GOD to defend them.
Consciousness, Unconditional Love and God all represent First Principle Realities.
If consciousness were conditional, there could be nothing in the universe as a knowable concept save that which consciousness expressed as a condition at that moment.
If God were simply Jesus and not Buddha, there would be no Buddha.
GOD
IS
GOD
because GOD IS UNCONDITIONAL
Just as consciousness (Unconditional Sentience) affords sentience of this or that, once we’ve evolved to the point of realizing that what is most stable, reliable or permanent within our being is Consciousness (Unconditional Love!), then we find our ultimate direction in life.
If you read the world EVOLUTION backwards, you will find a message, a message that informs you of your ultimate evolutionary state, one that exemplifies both the alpha and the omega. Evolution read backwards and decoded reads:
NO-IT-U-LOVE
Any “it” is but a “thing”, the product of spirit. But even spirit, which is a transitional state of potential energy expressed is something – it is governed by laws or “conditions.”
If you study the lives of the great spiritual masters, they all taught that God IS EVERYTHING. There is no one person that is or isn’t more or less God than any other. Indeed, they teach that there is not even a person that is more or less God than even a cockroach!
We have all evolved body and mind to the point that now, to go further, we must collectively learn that there can be no – it – you – love, for loving a car more than the soil, the rivers or the trees halts spiritual evolution and anchors it in matter.
Mother Earth and Great Spirit are now taking us into the next stage of our evolution.
We are now to learn how to love Unconditionally and to nurture that which is essential to life. Only when those that are in love with ideas evolve to being in love with life will we all – meaning all in and of Nature – experience Love and Life Together.
We all have one home; Uni-Verse!
We only have each other.
In THE ONE, there is no “it”, just “ALL”.
Love and chi,
Paul Chek

Matthew 16:27
For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.
Drop by drop the jug fills to the brim.
Paul,
While reading your article I find myself imagining a world where people work for the joy of work and for the advancement of our worldwide quality of living. Im sure its possible from a technological point of view, but it seems that our values almost have to do a complete 180 degree turn from where we are now?
Its funny how our reductionist model of science has become the model for living as well – people living in boxes next door to neighbours they never meet or befriend! The tiniest denominator possible – easy to manage!
I wonder if commerce has a place in this future I imagine? I am currently changing my career because my former profession got boring, but I would not have considered it unless it had great financial potential. I know I am not earning money to buy a fancy car etc, but rather to channel that money into new experiences. But I know that in todays society the freedom to pursue many and varied experiences is expensive. A conundrum!
How would a future without commerce look? How would we reward our innovators? Why would people work harder than others?
I only have a vague understanding of communism, but from a distance it looks like a great model to live by. Do you know of any actual implementations that have been successful?
Love your work Paul. I dont like this reply box though – it wont let me highlight and copy and paste what I have written…Annoying!
Thanks
Ryan
I have not considered the break down in ‘Universe’ until now. Our universe is singing right now………who is listening to her song?

Gday Paul thank you for taking the time to write your blogs they are amazing.
Ive had a few big emotional traumas happen in my life recently and am having trouble moving forward and am looking for a bit of guidance. Ive been reading the book The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and have become very interested in learning more about our ‘MIND’ and emotions.
Ive been looking at your PPS classes and your Unconditional Love classes and want to know what one you would reccommend doing first?
Thanks for your time
Kym Johnson
Thanks Paul.. i’m very much interested in the PPS lessons.. (i’m a HLC1 already and wishing much to go HLC2 in sweden this year) but i realized that i missed the enourmous discount on the PPS during christmas… 😀
there’s just one wish at this moment.. abudant resources, not to buy houses and cars.. but to learn from you and others i consider great inspirations… my goal is to learn and feel.. trying not to get stuck in the mind and logic…
best thoughts….and thanks for your time…
Dear Paulo,
Each being is a seed of the Divine. Imagine each person as though a plant:
Seed: Potential to become that which you truly are; SELF-Realized
Sprout- Biological soul
Sapling – Intellectual soul
Plant/Tree – Awareness Soul
Fruiting/Flowering – Spirit Soul
Just as some plants die due to environmental pressures, people also experience retarded growth due to environmental pressures. Where one is at in these stages can be exemplified by their actions toward self and others. Each step of the way, a greater understanding of reality emerges. The one with Spirit-Soul development sees and behaves with the understanding that All are One.
I suggest studying my program titled The 1-2-3-4 For Overcoming Addiction, Obesity and Disease as a means of self-assessment and learning how to coach people in regard to holistic, integrated self-development.
Much Chi,
Paul
PS: HLC training is a more comprehensive approach, as well as the PPS lessons.
beautiful! taking this chance of talking about evolution i would like to post a question on that:
considering the existing levels of consciousness (body, mind, emotion and spirit)and according to your
personal and professional experience:
– are these levels present in everyone? i mean, can i work the spirituality of anyone? i want to know if this levels are evolutionary (you climb them in your personal evolution – life) or anyone has a certain level of them…
– how do you know if you’re balanced at these levels?
– what are the best “tools” to work all of the levels?
thanks for your work, time and sharing…
Thank You Lorna!
Love and chi,
Paul
You.. Paul Chek… are one inspirational person…..I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you share with all of us.
Love to you and your family
