The divine spark in all creation - diversity and evolution comes from organisation As you know, man consists of three things, namely, of body, soul and spirit. Well, this is how you have on the whole grasped these things, when you say: “The body is matter, the soul is taken from the materialspiritual, bound because of the fall of the one great spirit, and the spirit is a divine spark, which is to elevate and spiritualize the soul. The latter, in turn, through its refinement will bring also the elements of the material body onto a higher level, so that everything can gradually proceed on its gamut of perfection, as it had been decreed in advance in the great plan of creation.” In these conclusions already lies the first erroneous concept, since you only consider your own spirit as endowed with the divine spark that is to ennoble everything. For, had you not always (often unconsciously) aristocratic ideas, which you want to apply to My person, you would easily realize and understand that everything created is fundamentally divine and must be infinite since it is descended from Me, has originated from Me and must again return to Me. The body, a material tool during your life span, is composed of the same noblest, most sublime elements of My spiritual self as are soul and spirit. However, these elements are bound in matter and coerced to manifest only in the manner allowed by their momentary arrangement. These most subtle spiritual elements, which help in the building of the bodies already in the womb, also struggle for perfection, completion. Expressing their tendency in the form of the body, in so far as a plastic (well-defined) form can express a spiritual principle, they seek, through their calling in human life, to supplement what higher spiritual elements in the soul will then develop further spiritually. They are the helpers, the collaborators in the great spiritual building of a perfected divine idea; just as no architect can build a house on his own, but requires a thousand hands which, however, mind you, do not work in a machine-like manner, but which likewise, again directed by other intelligences, help to execute the entire edifice. Thus it is always the formative, creative forces which work in man, as well as in everything created: in the inert rock, the vegetating plant and the animal kingdom endowed with self-awareness, which contribute towards the ennoblement, the refinement of the whole. On the other hand, the kind and species is still subject to a thousand other diverse influences where the capabilities originally bestowed on them cannot reach perfection. And so everywhere, despite the common gender and origin, the end results will be as diverse as there are created beings in the entire space of creation. The soul, as an offshoot or descendant of a great fallen lightbearer, first had to have an appropriate envelopment and, furthermore, a higher spiritual principle implanted into it. This drives it to not only complete its education here but to serve, after the shedding of any mortal envelopment, as the basis for a spiritual world. Therefore, the soul of the smallest infusorian, just as that of man, is always urged to first fulfill its life’s purpose here, in keeping with its envelopment and an unrealized Spiritual which you call “instinct” or nature”, which opens the way to perfection in other forms and under other conditions. The spirit in man is the same as that in the last rock, but there it is confronted with a more orderly organization, which does not oppose its actual sphere of action so much, but is even created to follow it in all its endeavors. Thus it is not true that man alone was endowed with a spirit-spark of Myself, for the divine spark is in everything, only there the body is 182 more adapted to the Spiritual and completely conforms to the greatest expansion of the spiritual forces. Look, a monotonous landscape, a boring life, shows you sufficiently that “life” exists only where there is change, diversity. For by the very fact that not everything is on the same level and progressing at the same pace, life is a stimulating endeavor to attain that, which, although destined for all, cannot be achieved in every imaginable way. Diversity is the basis of 1ife; diverse are the worlds, diverse their beings and diverse even the road they have to walk to perfection. Without this diversity, no life, no movement, no progress are possible. Only with the germ to form always something new but superior, could a creation be effected, a creation that redounds to its Creator’s honor and which, like He, can carry the germ of infinity within it.Thus you have to grasp this entire visible and invisible world, beginning with the smallest atom in cosmic space and ending with My great spirit-realm, if ever you wish to understand why I created all this, and why I created it thus and not otherwise. With Me. it is unthinkable that improvements, repairs or modifications could ever occur, for they are a consequence of errors, wrong conclusions, which are impossible with God. Therefore, let go of your humanly limited ideas. The world is as I am describing it to you, almost daily uncovering for you one secret of creation after another. Thereby you may learn to realize that your life’s purpose is totally different from the one you try to construe, wishing even for the means to effect this in conformity with your physical, but not your spiritual nature and destiny. So you see, body, soul and spirit are carriers of My divine spark.
