To move into a portion of creation and become part of it, a soul had to assume a new, or third aspect of consciousness - a method of experiencing that portion of creation and translating it into the basic substance of mind by means of thought. Man refers to this aspect of awareness as his 'conscious mind'. It is the device by which man experiences earth: physical body, five senses, glandular and nervous systems. In other worlds, in other systems, the device differed. Only the range and variation of man's own thoughts can give an idea of the number of these other worlds and systems and the aspects of divine mind which they represent. When a soul took on the consciousness of a portion of creation it seperated itself temporarily from the consciousness of its own individuality, and became even further removed from the consciousness of its spirit. Thus, instead of helping to direct the flow of creation and contributing to it, it found itself in the stream, drifting along with it. The farther it went from shore, the more it succumbed to the pull of the current and the more difficult was the task of getting back to land. Each of the systems of stars and planets represented, in this manner, a temptation to the souls. Each had its plan, and moved toward it through the activity of a constant stream of mind. When a soul leaped into the stream (by immersing itself in the system through which the stream was flowing) it had the force of the current to contend with, and its free will was hampered. It was very easy, under these circumstances, to drift with the current. (Each system also presented an opportunity for development, advancement and growth toward the ideal of complete companionship with God - the position of cocreator in the vast system of universal mind.)
The solar system attracted souls, and since each system is a single expression, with its planets as integral parts, the earth came into the path of souls. (The planets of the solar system represent the dimensions of consciousness of the system - its consciousness as a whole. There are eight dimensions to the consciousness of the system. The earth is the third dimension.) The earth was an expression of divine mind with its own laws, its own plan, its own evolution. Souls, longing to feel the beauty of the seas, the winds, the forests, the flowers, mixed with them and expressed themselves through them. They also mingled with the animals, and made, in imitation of them, thought forms: they played at creating; they imitated God. But it was a playing, an imitating, that interfered with what had already been set in motion, and thus the stream of mind carrying out the plan for earth gradually drew souls into its current. They had to go along with it, in the bodies they had themselves created. They were strange bodies: mixtures of animals, a patchwork of ideas about what it would be pleasant to enjoy in flesh. Down through the ages fables of centaurs, Cyclopes and such have persisted as a relic of this beginning of the souls' tenancy of earth. Sex already existed in the animal kingdom, but the souls, in their thought forms, were androgynous. To experience sex they created thought forms for companions, isolating the negative force in a seperate structure, retaining the positive within themselves. This objectification is what man calls Lilith, the first woman.
This is an interesting statement. The name homo sapiens means knowing man and tasting man and this is the way I have observed myself. My sensations of themselves are raw, they must be modulated with knowing to be useful.

You have an interesting cosmology. May I ask if it is from an established teaching or did it become of your own reflective state of consciousness? I apprehend nature on a vibrational level and can demonstrate the effects of the division I have described, tasting man and knowing man. It's effects constitute our language. Our language is made of phonetic components, vowels and consonants. We are confronted with a vibrational intensity and our being responds initially with a whole undifferentiated tone, an I am announcement. A vowel, spoken open throated without assistance of the tongue, the organ of taste. We impart flavor to our experience through the application of consonants to a perceptive or knowing state,(a vowel). Our initial syllable comes from the joy of self awareness we open our mouths ahh, and close them again mm. Sound them together, aum, or I am. We emerge thought, word, deed.
You may ask, and I will answer - later. I'd like to post more 'history' first. This entanglement of souls in what man calls matter was a probability from the beginning, but God did not know when it would happen until the souls, of their own choice, had caused it to happen. (Of the souls which God created - and He created all souls in the beginning; none has been made since - only a comparative few have come into the experience of the solar system, though many have gone through or are going through a similar entanglement in other systems.) A way of escape for the souls which were entangled in matter was prepared. A form was chosen to be a vehicle for the soul on earth, and the way was made for souls to enter earth and experience it as part of their cycle. Of the forms already existing on earth one of the anthropoid apes most nearly approached the necessary pattern. Souls descended on these apes - hovering above and about them rather than inhabiting them - and influenced them to move toward a different goal from the simple one they had been pursuing. They came down out of the trees, built fires, made tools, lived in communities, and began to communicate with each other. Swiftly, even as man measures time, they lost their animal look, shed bodily hair, and took on refinements of manner and habit. All this was done by the souls, working through glands, until the body of the ape was the objectification - in the third dimension of the solar system - of the soul that hovered above it. Then the soul descended into the body and earth had a new inhabitant: man.
He appeared as a consciousness within an animal, a consciousness which was felt on the earth in five different places at the same time, as the five 'races' (classically referred to by a colour, though not actually true to the word). The 'white' race appeared in the Caucasus, the Carpathians and Persia; the 'yellow' race appeared in what is now the Gobi Desert; the 'black' race appeared in the Sudan and upper west Africa; the 'red' race appeared in Atlantis; the 'brown' race appeared in the Andes. (The Pacific coast of South America was then the western coast of Lemuria. The Atlantic seaboard of the United States comprised the lowlands of Atlantis. Persia and the Caucasus were rich lands - the Garden of Eden. The poles of the earth as we know them today were tropical and semitropical. The Nile emptied into the Atlantic Ocean. The Sahara was fertile and inhabited. The Mississippi basin was part of the ocean.)
The problem was to overcome the attractions of earth to the extent that the soul would be as free in the body as out of it. Only when the body was no longer a hindrance to the free expression of the soul could the cycle of earth be finished. (In a smaller field this was the drama of free will and creation. In a still smaller field each atom of the physical body, being a world in itself, is a drama of free will and creation. The soul puts life into each atom, and each atom is a reflection in flesh of the soul's pattern.) There were males and females in these new, pure races and both had complete souls. Eve replaced Lilith, and became a complement to Adam - the ideal companion for the threefold life on earth: physical, mental and spiritual. In Eve the positive pole was suppressed and the negative pole expressed; In Adam the negative pole was supressed, the positive expressed. (Which a soul would become - male or female - was a matter of choice, unless the soul was already entangled and unbalanced. Eventually the positive and negative forces would have to be brought into balance, so there was not, basically, more advantage in one than in the other. For souls in balance it was a device to be employed for the duration of the earth cycle, and whichever sex would best suit the problems to be attacked was chosen. It was a voluntary assumption of an attitude, not a fall into error, and once a sex was assimed it was generally retained through the cycle of earth lives though it could be changed from life to life, if the change were considered advantageous. Awareness of sex was retained between lives, but could only be expressed on earth.) Man became aware, with the advent of his consciousness that sex meant something more to him than to the animals. It was the door by which new souls entered the earth, a door unnecessary elsewhere in the system. It was the only means the trapped souls had of getting out of their predicament - by being reborn through the bodies of souls which had entered the earth through choice. These bodies were not entangled with animals or thought forms. They represented the ideal vehicle for the soul on earth. Therefore sex was a creative power which could be used for good or evil. Used rightly, the human race would be kept pure, the earth would be a paradise for souls in perfect bodies, the trapped souls could be freed of their cycle of rebirth in monstrous, half-animal forms, and provided with perfect bodies. (This is the story of Adam and Eve, the serpent, and the apple. The serpent, wisdom, offered the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Eve, the negative, receptive force, took and fostered it. When Adam, the active force, partook of it, the peaceful animal life of man was ended.)
I believe God exists. I believe there are angels and fallen angels. I believe time goes in a complete cycle, meaning, time is infinite, this moment is repeated infinite times, creation is repeated infinite times and destruction is repeated infinite times. Time is like music, different events occur making the full length of the cycle like a beautiful song, full of happiness, sorrow, trust, betrayal, love, hate, creation, and destruction and no one but God hears the full song. I believe in free will. I believe in destiny. I believe in spirits. I believe our spirit is connected to another dimension that fills this universe. I believe we can use our minds to channel our energy to influence the universe. I believe in telepathy. I believe in the ability to influence the elements according to our connection to the universe. I believe in power. I believe in harmony. I believe in peace.
I agree with a lot of what you say worldsofdarkblue i just object the part of Lilith, though it is an interesting concept. I don't believe Lilith ever existed. The tree of knowledge for Adam was Eve. And the tree of knowledge for Eve was Adam and Satan. When the Devil was roaming the earth even before Adam and Eve he was looking for something to do. When he first saw Eve, he marveled and he remembered how good woman was in his mortal days before the third age. So he tempted her and had sex with her, and she became pregnant with Cain. Cain would later be accursed for killing his half-brother, and his descendants would be known as the serpents children some of who make up the Illuminati. Eve after losing her virginity, wanted to show Adam what she had learned, and had sex with Adam. So what people commonly think as the tree of knowledge, really isn't an apple, it was flesh and fleshly experience.
Demotivational posters, i was looking at a lot of them for awhile, for a second i thought i was in a truman show and that it wasnt a coincidence. Oh, I also believe I'm in a truman show at times, something life is trying to make me doubt.
i'd like to think that living beings had souls and continued on after death possibly reincarnation might be an option i do not believe in a heaven or a hell, though i'd hope that one could stay dead if one chose to note that these are wishes rather than beliefs [apart from the lack of h&h]
As regards monstrous forms. A sarcophagus was discovered in Greece and in it was the skeleton of a mammoth. The bones were arranged as though they belonged to a bipedal hominid. If one did not know it was a mammoth, it certainly could be interpreted as a cyclops for instance.
As far as sex being different for people than animals that can be attributed to the 28 day menstrual cycle. Fertility is not confined to a season of the year or a breeding ground. It is one of the reasons that humans can take advantage of so many eco zones.
