The human species is evolving. Along with the physical changes and the consciousness changes comes a natural evolution in our understanding of the Sacred.
Each of us can see a small version of this at work over the course of our own lives, as we refine our childish notions of God in the crucible of life experience and acquired wisdom. But that’s just one person’s view.
The full scope of species change is a group phenomenon, and can only be clearly understood looking backwards, after it has occurred. Where do you think the current changes are leading us?
Beyond the boxes we create,
Beyond each image we can spawn
The process river flows along
To sweep aside the now outworn.
This, my song, a skeptic’s hymn,
ode to mystery within,
Sung to you no one can prove,
dwelling there, as real as love.
It was a long and complicated evolution
from matter
to life
to consciousness
to self-consciousness.
