Human Evolution....

To what heights, then, does humanity ultimately attain? The goal of human evolution is the standard of perfection described in Christianity as “the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” (Eph. 4:13). This implies the attainment of a divine state of perfected (only as far as human evolution is concerned) and resistless will, perfected and all-embracing wisdom and love, and perfected and all-inclusive knowledge.
The Ageless Wisdom affirms that the attainment of this culmination of human development is absolutely certain for everyone. The command: “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” (Matt. 5:48) , will be literally obeyed by the spiritual Self of all human beings. A lost spiritual Soul is an impossibility in nature, for the true Self is immortal, eternal and indestructible. Indeed, there is nothing to be saved from, nowhere to be lost, for God as the enfolding and indwelling life of the universe is omnipresent. Human beings need only to be on guard against the defects of their own character and the transgressions to which they lead, for all sufferings arise (karmically—educatively) from such transgressions.
The evolutionary process is itself everlasting, being without conceivable beginning or imaginable end. Beyond human perfection is a still higher attainment reached during passage through the superhuman kingdoms of nature, followed by a general ascent towards the spiritual stature of the Logos of a universe. Beyond that again, progress continues towards the highest possible degree of unfoldment attainable at the end of a major cosmic period of manifestation. Even then, at the succeeding reemergence of cosmos from chaos, of activity from quiescence, development will continue from the point previously attained and proceed to still greater heights. Perfection is thus hardly the best word, since it suggests finality. Actually it is only attained in a relative sense, for it must give room to still further perfection, according to a higher standard of excellence in the following period of activity—just as a perfect flower must cease to be a perfect flower and die in order to grow into a perfect fruit, if such a mode of expression may be permitted (SD 1:115). The individual is an evolving spiritual being and will one day become as God now is. The human being is a God-in-the-becoming, a pilgrim God.
