PART 3
SPIRITUAL PROGRESSION
CHAPTER FOUR
THE NATURE AND THE STRUCTURE
OF THE NEW MANKIND
The nature and structure of what was called in this book
pseudo-mankind was fabricated in such a manner by the
pseudo-creators as to resist and negate the normal and natural flow of
spiritual progression. This flow is an essential and substantial
determinator in the nature and the structure of any sentient entity or
society. Pseudo-mankind was a tool in the hands of negative forces
which molded and influenced all its life in such a manner as to
eliminate any true spiritual awareness and spiritual life. Therefore,
whatever characteristics were exhibited in the nature and structure of
pseudo-mankind, in their ultimate sense and connotation, they
contained negative states and processes.
Pseudo-mankind reflected, in its structure and nature, an unusual
combination of good and evil which were artificially mixed together.
Nowhere else in creation did or does such a condition exist. The
presence of the true quality of good together with the pseudo-qualities
of evil was possible by the fact that in fabricating pseudo-mankind,
the pseudo-creators had to utilize the living cells of original human
beings which contained within themselves all categories and
principles of life relative to the Absolute Life of the Most High. In
them, the Most High is always present as in His/Her own. Nothing
can be done to alter such a condition. By using such specific living
cells in their genetic manipulation, the pseudo-creators had to
preserve that basic principle of life. The only thing they could do with
it was to distort it. The principle of life in its genuine condition - and
this condition had to be used by the pseudo-creators - is always good
and positive. The distorted version of it is always evil and negative.
Hence, the mixture of the true principles with pseudo-principles in
one living human being.
Since all people from the moment of appearance of such distortions
were born into ignorance, by the mercy of the Absolute Providence of
the Most High they were able to be taught and to acquire some
concepts of good and truth and evils and falsities. It became a matter
of their personal free choice which aspect of their mind and
personality they wanted to emphasize and to pursue in their lives.
The intention of such choice usually determined the nature and the
structure of any individual in a unique manner, regardless as to
whether the concept of spirituality and other principles related to it
were distorted or irrelevant. Therefore, in nature and the structure of
pseudo-mankind, dichotomy of the two states and processes was the
dominant factor that ruled its entire life. From this dichotomy and the
results of intentions of people in regard to their position of preference
or emphasis of one or the other or both stemmed continuous
pressures, stress, crises, battles, combats, anxieties, fears,
depressions, wars and many other spiritual, mental, emotional,
intellectual and physical problems that existed in the process of
history of pseudo-mankind. From the beginning pseudo-mankind
reflected these conditions, states and processes.
The structure and nature of the new mankind is no longer based
on this dichotomy. The influence of evil and negative states is
eliminated and is not allowed to interfere with people's decisions or to
distort their concept of life. It is present with everyone by virtue of the
fact that it was experienced and lived through by the whole planet. It
is necessary to have the ideas of evil and negative states and
processes with all their dire and destructive outcomes and
consequences for the purpose of freedom of choice. But it is no longer
part of life. It is separated from the human mind and in effect, caged
and tamed in such a manner as to serve the true spiritual progression
of mankind. It is no longer a ruler or dominator of mankind, but is
looked upon as something that serves a good purpose by a new
awareness of the need to avoid it, shun it, and not to be plagued by it.
The evil and negative state and process now becomes recognized as
the potentiality which is always present as a matter of discrimination,
contrast and emphasis as compared with good and positive states and
processes. It can be considered something like a collective „shadow" of
mankind (to use the term coined by C.G. Jung) that is well-tamed and
under control, motivating members of mankind to avoid it in order to
pursue fully their spiritual progression. This recognition of the
negative, is its positive value in the service of the new mankind. It is
ever-present in the nature and the structure of mankind as a
memento of how not to be. It helps to avoid ignorance of its outcomes
and consequences and contributes with its energy to spiritual
progression.
Thus, in its ultimate sense, the evil and negative state and
process, by the Absolute Love and Absolute Wisdom of the Most High,
is turned into a servant with good and positive purposes.
This is the only outcome that is feasible for the Absolute Divine
Providence of the Most High. It uses everything for emphasis and
victory of the positive state and process. Such is its nature.
With such a tamed and subdued condition of the evil and negative
state, new mankind can be gradually structured and given a nature
incorporating the following states and processes, features and
characteristics:
1. The first priority in the structure and nature of new mankind is
to create reconnections through all available channels of human
minds and human life to the Most High, to the corresponding spiritual
or innermost world and to the intermediate or interior world. Such
reconnection to the Most High and to the respective corresponding
worlds provides a new awareness that everything in the activities,
creative efforts, systems and life of mankind is accomplished under
direct influence of the Most High and with the awareness and
perception of the direct presence of the Most High in all aspects of its
being and existence. This kind of reconnection puts everything in a
different perspective. It unifies, harmonizes and balances all aspects
in the structure and the nature of mankind and makes it a productive,
creative and functional whole.
2. New mankind is structured in such a manner and given such a
nature as to enable a complete presence of spirituality in the
outermost layer of the outermost natural degree to which it
corresponds. By its presence, that layer can be vivified and fully
utilized for spiritual progression of all creation without exception. It
gives this degree the sense and usefulness of its being and existence
in the universality of it all. Without such spirituality, there would be
nothing alive and useful in it. Such a condition could not be tolerated
because in the creation of the Most High everything must serve some
use to justify its being and existence. The presence of spirituality, by
virtue of the structure and the nature of the mankind that occupies
this degree makes such use possible, attainable and functional.
3. Everything in creation of the Most High serves a specific
purpose and follows a specific „line" of use in accordance with the
content and the needs of maintaining, following, developing and
creatively contributing and building on such „line". The structure and
nature of every mankind which participates on that „line" is
constructed in such a manner as to fully accommodate all aspects of
life and development of the new mankind to the support of creative
contribution to and maintenance of this „line". The quality, need,
purpose and goal of such „line" influences the structuring and the
nature of the new mankind which chooses freely with delight and
pleasure the opportunity to participate in this venture. The specific
aspects of such „line" are known only to the Most High and are
revealed to mankind in steps as it progresses toward fulfillment of its
role in it.
4. As was mentioned many times previously, the outermost layer
of the outermost natural degree which is occupied by mankind is the
final stage for acting out all originations, causes and effects in the
concrete form of natural behavior and actions of people. Such a
situation determines and influences the nature and the structure of
new mankind in order to accommodate it for receiving and acting out
of all aspects of the creative effort of all steps, levels and degrees and
feedback of its results. For that reason, the structure and the nature
of new mankind is formed in such a manner as to be a concrete
example of open-mindedness, open-heartedness, mobility, flexibility,
adaptability and adjustability. These characteristics become a major
feature of its structure and nature.
5. Because mankind is acting out and concretely manifesting all
outcomes of the creative effort of the creation in the specific „line"
assigned to it, it is structured in such a manner and given such a
nature that it becomes a concrete link among all dimensions, levels,
steps and degrees which participate in that „line". Therefore, all its
characteristics, features and traits are accommodated to serve the
purpose of that link. Such service determines the specificity of the
structure and the nature of the new mankind. Its main features are
accommodation, transmission, connection, evaluation, feedback and
linkage of all systems with maintenance of the proper function for
such activities.
6. Because the new mankind occupies the outermost layer of the
outermost degree of matter, it requires a special structure and nature
to accommodate its life to such a harsh environment. Everything in
that layer must be conceived, understood and perceived in the
concreteness of its manifestation. Therefore, one of the characteristics
of the nature and the structure of the new mankind is the ability to
transform concrete thinking and its categories into abstract and
corresponding meanings which enable its perception and
comprehension of its nature to all other preceding steps and levels.
This ability enables full utilization and harnessing of all natural
conditions, laws, structures and dynamics in such a manner that their
corresponding spiritual meanings and their use is obvious to all
creation. Thus, it enables all outer nature to serve ultimately to the
spiritual progression of mankind and to all other creations in a
corresponding link with mankind.
7. The outermost layer of the natural degree in itself and by itself
cannot, by its nature, manifest any cohesiveness, unity, harmony or
purposefulness. It continuously falls back on itself and is
self-absorbed. This unusual condition requires that a very specific
nature in the structure of the new mankind be formed which can
transcend the disharmony, disjunction and disunion of such a
condition. The corresponding factors of such a condition determine the
need for diversity of mankind. Therefore, one of the major features of
its structure and nature is to be diverse. This diversity must be
concrete because of the nature of the outermost layer. Its concreteness
is manifested in corresponding varieties of nations, races, minorities
and groups which represent the possibility of unity, oneness and
harmony of diversity. It keeps the outermost layer of the outermost
degree of nature from falling apart by its natural tendency toward the
opposite. Such representation also gives a concrete example to all
other creation about such unity, oneness and harmony and
contributes to everyone's spiritual progression.
8. The diversity of the nature and the structure of the new
mankind and the presence of all preceding degrees in it in the form of
corresponding concreteness of their expression determines further its
content. Because of this situation, the new mankind is structured in
such a manner and is given such a nature as to accommodate and
concretely manifest the presence of the Most High in the actualized
expressions and characteristics of the outermost degree of the
creation. Therefore, the major features of its structure and nature is
intensity of expression and accommodation of all spiritual
characteristics, in which the Most High is as in His/Her own, in their
natural and concrete forms.
9. Because of the concreteness of its nature and structure and all
corresponding factors to it, the new mankind becomes the expression
of feelings, moods, tones and intensity of the entire creation's style of
life in concreteness of manifestation of the outermost degree. All
creation which is in corresponding link and line to the new mankind
may experience, through the specific nature and structure of the
mankind, the fullness of its own manifestation from the innermost to
the outermost degree and level. Such experience contributes further
to everyone's spiritual progression.
10. The nature of the outermost layer of the outermost degree is
the final step of succession in this cycle of time. Anyone who chooses
to participate at some point in being and existence on that layer must
have a corresponding structure and nature. Otherwise, one could not
function in it. For that reason, the structure and the nature of the
new mankind is constructed in such a manner as to be a form, a
container, a fullness and a completeness of spiritual life for all other
levels and degrees which are in the same „line" and link as mankind.
To be a form of spiritual life is to be in the fullness of it. This is one of
the major characteristics of the structure and the nature of the new
mankind.
11. Everything in the outermost layer of the natural degree is of a
relative, transient and temporary nature. There is nothing constant or
permanent in it. Such a condition requires the structuring of the new
mankind in such a manner so as to give it a nature which will
accommodate it to transcend all instabilities of its natural
environment so as not to be influenced by them in any negative
manner. For that reason, one of the major characteristics of the new
mankind is a reflection of relativity, transiency and temporality of the
values that are derived from the outermost degree and to illustrate by
concrete example that they can serve usefully to the higher,
permanent, constant and eternal spiritual values of their
corresponding manifestation. As long as nothing of permanent nature
is attempted to be acquired from such a condition it can be useful and
serviceable for a higher purpose. Otherwise, as the style of life of
pseudo-mankind showed by example, it leads one into spiritual doom.
12. The outermost level of the outermost degree has no spiritual
principles in itself and by itself. In order that it may serve the use of
spiritual progression, it is made possible to accommodate and modify
all such principles in the concreteness of their manifestation and
illustration. Therefore, the new mankind is structured in such a
manner and is given such a nature so as to be able to demonstrate in
the concreteness of its manifestation, the principle of spiritual life and
its purpose in the outermost layer of the outermost natural degree. In
it is manifested concretely that the purpose of any life is to love and to
be loved; to give and to receive; to share and to reciprocate; to be
useful, beneficial and helpful; to be content, to be satisfied, to be
happy; to be creative, productive and constructive; to enjoy life and to
have fun in one's own unique manner; and to have the concrete
knowledge that this is the true purpose of one's life and the life of the
whole mankind, and that in concretely pursuing this purpose one is
concretely wise. The nature and structure of the new mankind is a
concrete demonstration of these principles and the purpose of life in
the outermost layer of the natural degree.
The above-described structure and nature of the new mankind is
limited to its general content only. Any specificity of such nature and
structure is manifested and triggered by the needs of each step in
mankind's spiritual progression. As mankind proceeds in it, all
specificities and generalities of its nature and structure will be
revealed. One has to remember that its structure and nature is
continuously evolving, forming and modifying in accordance with the
needs of each step of mankind's spiritual progression. This is the
reason it can be described and revealed only in general terms. There
is, of course, a transcending understanding of mankind's structure
and nature to that which is revealed in this chapter. It will come in
proper time once new mankind establishes its function in the
above-outlined direction.
The structure and the nature of the new mankind determines its
place, goal and purpose in the universality of it all.
