Can a soul choose to de-evolve?
QUESTION: Masters, in that reincarnation is a given, and humans cannot “de-evolve” when reincarnating, becoming a dog after incarnating as a human, would it be accurate to say Charles Darwin’s theory was slightly off kilter? It seems to me that all the evidence points to a certain degree of accuracy on both sides of the argument of Creationism vs. Evolution. Neither side concludes their argument nor can they stand on their own under close scrutiny as independent and correct assumptions. They do not agree with natural law. When you look at reincarnation under the guise of spiritual evolution would it not be prudent to conclude that when the “spark” breaks off from Source it would “experience” life in an evolutionary manner not starting out life as the most highly evolved creature but as the least? And then through successive incarnates, and progressively increasing vibrational experiences, the spark experiences lives from the amoeba all the way up through, dog, cat, and dolphin before moving into the human form? ~Mark, US
ANSWER: There are a number of things you did not consider in this theoretical question. First, there is no linear time in the universe or in the existence of the soul. The only place that time exists as you know it is here on planet Earth. It is based on the rotation of Earth around the sun. In linear time it is possible to record an evolution of species based on continued sophistication.
Souls are composed of energy without a body that can show a change pattern similar to that of Earth species. There is no spiritual evolution but an “awareness” of self by whatever means the soul uses to obtain it. A soul may do whatever it chooses to do. It may become an animal after being a human, or incarnate in 1900 AD and return to 600 BC when finished. A soul follows no linearly dictated rules. It is all powerful, all magnificent, and all creative.
As seen purely from a dualistic, third-dimensional perspective, neither creationism nor evolution tells the whole story because neither takes into consideration the soul’s freedom of choice. Since neither observed the progression of the planet for more than a few decades, they also were unable to have a “start” and “finish” to the respective theories. Your “natural law” again is a construct of planet Earth and does not affect non-physical energies.
The purpose of the soul’s coming to Earth is to experience this duality by means of learning lessons. The lessons have nothing to do with the Home vibrational level of the soul because it comes down with amnesia. It is impossible to explain the spiritual non-physical while handicapped by the use of only physical terminology.
