Introduction
Life is an ever-changing flux of uncertainties. It is a fundamental law of nature that everything is constantly in motion and undergoing transformation. The nature of reality within us is nothing but movement and change. Different forms of energies interact with each other to become some-thing. However, even though change is a must for evolution, it is something that we often resist. We crave balance, moderation, and stability, but these are not sustainable for long, especially if we are not observant of every change taking place in our very own existence.
The Individual Endeavour of Evolution
Evolution has happened on all fronts, whether physical or mental, scientific, or spiritual. However, it has been more of an individual endeavor. Only through choice and desire, whether consciously or unconsciously, can we determine the state of our self-consciousness as we journey through life. Change provides us with choice and desire, the basic fuel to move the mind.
The Journey of Life is an Endless Evolution
The more we resolve externally or internally, the further we evolve, which in return is an endless journey of life. Science is for the external and spiritual has been for the internal. The story of life shows that they are two expressions of a single reality. However, the progress in the former has far outpaced the latter, creating a lopsided development, revealing more of a negative and unbalanced society in which we live.
The Crisis of Evolution
The imbalance between our scientific and spiritual progress has created a crisis. The human mind and the nature of its consciousness are in a total mess. We speak of high ideals, but our actions show the opposite. Science is easier for us to follow and practice because discoveries and results are beneficial to all collectively. However, spiritual evolution is an experiential journey, where scriptures or supernatural beliefs do not make any difference. We simply need to be aware and conscious of our thoughts, speech, and action. Every individual journey is unique, where we need to create and carve our own style of performance.
The Quest for Knowledge and Understanding
Both science and spirituality have evolved from the nature of our inquisitiveness to all that exists. Basically, we are curious about everything, from subatomic to the stars, before birth and after death. Gradually technology evolved from our scientific quests and organized religion from our spiritual aspirations. Both originate from beliefs, but in science, beliefs keep changing and progressing with time. However, spiritually we are bound, attached, and identified with prehistoric ideologies and beliefs, which never seem to change.
Science has made remarkable progress in understanding the external world. Through experimentation, observation, and measurement, science has given us a wealth of knowledge about the physical world and the laws that govern it. This knowledge has led to technological advancements that have transformed our world and improved our lives in countless ways.
On the other hand, spirituality has been more focused on the internal world of the human experience. It seeks to understand the nature of consciousness and our relationship with the divine or higher power. Unlike science, spirituality is an experiential journey that cannot be measured or quantified. It requires us to be present and aware of our thoughts, speech, and actions in order to evolve spiritually.
The Stagnation of Beliefs
Hence, our evolution is gradually turning into a crisis, where our progress as a whole has been a failure. All beliefs need to be progressive for us to evolve; otherwise, they stagnate into rituals, leaving us as blind followers of any faith. Science is what we measure and follow; spirituality is what we experience and realize, not for the good or bad, but for that affiliation in awareness, for all that exists is one and not two.
Despite the progress in science, our spiritual evolution has been stagnant. The beliefs and ideologies that guide our spiritual pursuits have remained largely unchanged for centuries, if not millennia. While science has progressed through changing and updating beliefs, spirituality has stagnated through rigid adherence to prehistoric ideologies.
The Importance of Progressive Beliefs for Evolution
In order to evolve spiritually, we need to have progressive beliefs that are not tied to outdated ideologies or dogmas. Simply following and worshiping will only lead us towards an illusion that we are something that we are not. We need to learn, follow, and practice a certain order in science to evolve externally. In spirituality, however, we need to go beyond blind following and carve our own path to enlightenment.
Also important to note is that spiritual evolution is not about achieving a certain level of enlightenment or becoming something that we are not. It is about becoming more aware and conscious of our thoughts, actions, and speech in order to create a more harmonious and balanced existence. It is about realizing that all that exists is one, and that we are all interconnected and interdependent.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the nature of reality is one of movement and change, and our evolution as a species is a reflection of this. Science has made remarkable progress in understanding the external world, while spirituality has been more focused on the internal world of the human experience. However, our spiritual evolution has been stagnant, and this has created a crisis in our progress as a species. To evolve spiritually, we must be willing to let go of outdated beliefs and embrace new ones that are progressive. We must be open to new experiences and challenge our own assumptions and beliefs. Each person’s journey is unique, and we must create our own style of performance to evolve spiritually.
