 |  |  | Spiritual Evolution: Spiritual Evolution Is The Key To Salvation
In a conversation with his consort Parvati, Shiva is believed to have said that through self-knowledge, one can attain salvation. People are born as human beings due to their past good samskaras, but to attain liberation they will have to attain self-knowledge. In ancient times, Parvati symbolised the spirit of enquiry. She would pose questions to Shiva, and Shiva's answers provided deep insight into the nature of spirituality. Parvati's questions are collectively known as the Nigama shastra. Shiva's answers are philosophical; they are also of great practical value.

Islamic View of Creation LifeScience and Spirituality: An
Islamic View of Creation & Life
According to Islamic tradition, life
is God's creation - regardless of whether life was specially created or
resulted from evolution. Evolution itself is a process of creation as admitted
by Darwin in The Origin of Species.
Creation falls into four categories -
inanimate matter, plants, animals and human beings. According to Islam, all
four are separate creations. Among living things, a number of species co-exist,
all having been created separately. There is doubtless some similarity in
physical attributes; yet, each has a permanent, separate existence. There is no
concept of a missing link in Islam.

 |  |  | Spiritual Evolution: Patanjali’s Guide To Self-Evolution
Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra forms the basis of all yoga that is practised today. It contains knowledge which is useful for all, whether one is an evolved yogi, a developing sadhaka or an uninitiate. In the Astanga Yoga, the eight constituents of yoga are discussed. Of these, the first constituent talks of the five Yama. These are the restraints every human being is advised to practise in day-to-day living.

 |  |  | Spiritual Evolution: What is driving the evolution of consciousness described by the Mayan Calendar? - IHow is the Mayan Long Count to be explained? Why did this ancient people, that were the most mathematically advanced of their day, choose to use a chronology that consisted of thirteen different periods of 144,000 days each, starting on August 11, 3114, BC and ending on December 21, AD 2012? On a more fundamental level three different types of answers have been given to this question, a materialist, a spiritual and what might be called a pseudo-spiritual, answers that are linked to different world views. In the materialist world view the astronomical, physical cycles are seen as primary to the spiritual whereas in the spiritual world view they are seen as secondary.

Dictionary on
Evolution
Evolution (from Latin evolutio unrolling, opening) The unfolding or bringing into manifestation of the inherent, already inwardly existing characteristics of a being; it is therefore growth from within, development. The process is universal, since the universe consists of living beings, all of which are growing because unfolding. Evolution presupposes two main factors: the entity which is evolving, and the form which is evolved. These two are related as spirit to matter, as the monad to its organism. Every one of the countless beings which constitute the universe is essentially a spark of the universal divine fire, life, or spirit; and at any time is at one stage or another of a continuous career of unfolding growth. Every spark creates for itself a succession of forms by which it expresses more or less of its inherent qualities. The physical vehicles are merely the physical end-products; before these physical imbodiments are engendered, there are other imbodiments made of subtler grades of matter or consciousness-substance on intermediate planes, and astral stuff on the lower plane close to the physical. Evolution is a continual reaction between what is within and what is without: environment modifies growth; but without the urge of the indwelling monad, there could be no action upon environment, nor any reaction by environment. Evolution is not a process of accretion from without; such accretion could not produce an organism unless the full plan of that organism existed already latently in ideation. Nor is evolution in the vegetable and animal kingdoms a process of mere transformism by which one physical organism changes into another. The changes take place because of the unfolding growth of the indwelling entity, each new evolutional enfoldment of the latter impacting on the body, and therefore more or less modifying it; and this indwelling entity in this manner builds for itself new forms suitable to its own changed or more largely unfolded states. Theosophy does not hold to the idea of a single-track, end-on evolution from a protoplasmic speck to human being, without inner astral, mental, and spiritual urge from within. Rather, the plan of evolution as represented by the different classes and orders of beings on earth may be represented by a tree, whose main trunk is the human stem, from which (so far as this manvantara is concerned) the various animal types have issued like branches, each of them then entering upon a special unfolding development and differentiation of its own. Indeed, the same observation applies with equal force to the vegetable and mineral kingdoms, although their root-types issued from the human stem long aeons before the animal types appeared on earth. Evolution is an ancient and cardinal tenet of the archaic wisdom and was formerly called emanation. In mankind, three distinct, principal lines of evolution take place and converge; the spiritual, the mental or manasic, and the astral-vital-physical. The manasic factor is derived from the perfected humanity of a previous manvantara, whose entrance into the human stock of the third root-race brought about the union of the heavenly and the terrestrial so as to make a complete self-conscious being who thereafter mirrors every plane in nature. In humankind, the divine monad, a spark of the universal spirit, emanates from itself its first vehicle, and thus is formed the spiritual monad, atma-buddhi. This monad, emanating from itself in its turn another vehicle, becomes the higher human soul or reimbodying ego; and the emanational process is continued throughout the human constitution by the formation of the astral-vital soul which in its turn emanates or oozes forth the physical body. The process of evolution cannot be considered as ending. Just as below human beings there are less evolved kingdoms, so above are beings in whom fuller self-consciousness has been achieved than we have yet achieved, and still more of the divine potentialities realized. All evolution beneath humankind tends towards humanhood as its objective; but humanity itself has ever greater heights still before it to attain in the future.

 |  |  | Spiritual Evolution: Introduction To Numerology The art and science of numerology has existed for thousands
of years, though its exact origins are uncertain. The ancient Egyptians
certainly understood the power and meaning of numbers, though the father of
mathematics, Greek philosopher Pythagoras (569-470 BC), is generally credited
as being the founder of modern numerology. Interestingly, Pythagoras also
believed in reincarnation, and that life is a journey of lessons and challenges
that lead to spiritual evolution.

 |  |  | Spiritual Evolution: The Cosmic
Force And Shiv-ShaktiThe Cosmic Force And Shiv-Shakti
Before creation
took place there was nothing but a pervading consciousness that had no name.
Creation was the result of manifestation of this pervading consciousness.
The first form in which the consciousness manifested was
Adi Shakti, Gayatri or power. From her emerged everything else. Once the
universe was created there was a need for super forces or energies to look
after the governance of the world. To perform this role Adi Shakti manifested
herself into the trinity: Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
