I was putting together a compilation of JJ's teachings on guilt and ran across this reference to humans becoming self-conscious and wondered how this exactly "fit" into the whole schema of the "molecular order." What is meant by: "The fall of Adam and Eve is a symbol of the human changing in consciousness from animal to human self awareness."
The midway point of the fall occurred when the Ancient of Days incarnated into a primitive animal type body over 18 million years ago. He did not immediately become self conscious but was asleep for a time while the animal consciousness dominated. Then at a certain moment after reaching maturity his self-conscious self awoke and became the first human to be self-aware. He immediately became the leader of the other animal men who were stimulated by the human consciousness and others soon drew human sons of mind to the bodies which followed the example of the first Adam and became human in consciousness.
Here is a statement by DK that sheds some light:
At the later initiations, and after the fifth Initiation of Revelation, he sees with a new clarity some of the karmic liabilities which have led the planetary Logos to create this planet of suffering, sorrow, pain and struggle; he realises then (and with joy) that this little planet is essentially unique in its purpose and its techniques, and that on it and within it (if you could but penetrate below the surface) a great redemptive experiment is going forward; its prime implementing factors and its scientific agents are the "sons of mind who choose to be the sons of men and yet for all eternity remain the Sons of God." These "sons of mind" were chosen, in that far distant time when the fourth kingdom in nature came into being, to carry forward the science of redemption. There is a true historical and spiritually esoteric significance in the words in The New Testament that the "whole creation groaneth and travaileth together in pain until now, waiting for the manifestation of the Sons of God.
The story of Adam and Even has been repeated many times in the history of the earth since that ancient time. Each time there has been an advance in human consciousness Adam has awakened from a sleep of part of his nature to a greater awareness.
Dan:
Initially the human consciousness descends and the animal consciousness ascends and the two meet and share the human consciousness. The complete merging is still going on. It only begins with self-consciousness.If I, as a "human intelligence," already (eternally) exist in the "formless worlds" and I do not grow/learn/evolve upward thru the other kingdoms (mineral, vegetable, animal) - What is it then that changes "from animal to human self awareness"?
Dan:
What causes the human physical body to be ready for a human to incarnate into it and what exactly was it prior?
The question needs to be reversed. When a higher entity is looking from the subtle planes to incarnate - it is he who is asking questions such as:
For millions of years the answer was no for the first human consciousness, but then when the bodies were usable and the situation right a higher consciousness incarnated into a human body.
Actually, the Ancient of Days was higher than human, but a super high consciousness was necessary to raise animal man to a higher state.
Another interesting point is this. Through the creation of computers we are creating the ingredients for a body which could house a self-conscious intelligence. Some day in the future an advanced intelligence will look at some super computer and say: "I think I will jump into that and use it as a vehicle to explore."
Dan:
Is it the 'gravity' (inability to fully use the principle of identification) on the part of the mineral/vegetable/animal lives that make up our body(s) of manifestation that causes us to have to constantly struggle so hard to gain control over our vehicles?
Good point and this is the case to a large degree. Lower lives exist in our bodies but they have not fully identified with higher consciousness. For the majority of humans it is the other way around. Many identify more with animal consciousness than with the consciousness of the "son of mind."
Dan:
So, as soon as WE can successfully unite into a human group (molecule) in a stable enough configuration that a higher lifeform can incarnate into it, that day will ever thereafter be known as "the day the crystalline/molecular-life changed in consciousness from individual (human) self-awareness to group awareness"?
When the molecule is first created the identification of humans with the higher molecular consciousness will be in its infancy and it will take some time for the individuals to fully identify and to come to a full realization of that of which they are a part.
Dan:
You have also stated that "In ancient times some humans incarnated as the highest of the animal kingdom to assist with their identification with the human" so does that mean a higher (crystalline) molecular life-form COULD 'sacrifice' and incarnate as the 'highest' of the human kingdom in order to assist us with learning to employ the principle of identification?
Or could it ONLY incarnate into a unified GROUP of humans?
This was the case with the first humans. They incarnated in the highest bodies of the animal men to assist in the human transition.
A molecular body is not one human but a certain number of them and a molecular life will need more than one human to use as his body, but an individual can tune into the higher consciousness.
Members of a molecule will not be perfectly unified but must be unified enough to produce group soul contact.
Dan:
I know you (JJ and others) have said that the masters won't do for us what we can do for ourselves and that in the past great setbacks were caused by such "meddling", yada, yada yada - BUT the masters came through the human kingdom didn't they, or doesn't that necessarily "qualify" em' as earth-type humans and such 'help" would be considered meddling?
Higher than human lives paved the way for human consciousness because we could not do it for ourselves within the needed time period.
We could have done it without the Masters help but DK tells us that our evolution would have been greatly hindered and the typical man today would be like a primitive native.
Who knows - maybe even this meddling will backfire and we will blow ourselves up because we gained knowledge too quickly. The Ancient of Days did take a risk on us, one that was not taken on many other worlds.
Dan:
And on another note, re: "Very few of us will become a planetary Logos in this universe but all who follow the highest they know will join with the higher consciousness and share a oneness with them and assist in the great work." 1. What is the difference between the "very few" that will become a planetary logos and the rest?
There are two things at play.
First each of us is at a different point on the path and have had different amounts of experience in the material plane.
Secondly, we have free will. Each of us uses that free will to make a different quality of decisions than any other being in the universe, making each individual unique. Each of us is the result of all the past decisions we have made. He who becomes a Planetary Logos arrives at that status because he made decisions that took him in that direction.
This is a lesson for us all. We must look at what we want to become and then start making decisions that take us to that end goal.
Dan:
2. What happens to the "others" that don't "follow the highest they know" and therefore WON'T "join with the higher consciousness and share a oneness with them and assist in the great work"?
DK tells us that 60 percent of the human population will make the grade at the end of our evolution on this earth. The 40 percent who do not make it will be sent to another system for overtime summer school programs. The 60 percent will move on to higher things.
