Evolution, Evil-ution Or Devolution

Mary Jane Sears

We’re going to look into evolution and evaluate it for what it is. We’re going to see if indeed it is evil-ution as well as evolution. Evolution says that this physical world started out in the mineral kingdom, then erupted into the plant kingdom along with the fish, insects, animal and bird kingdoms and gradually it evolved into the human kingdom over trillions of years. There’s lots of scientific evidence that these processings took place. We’re all made out of the substance of the earth. Our DNA samples show that all the species, including man, has these elements of earth in them. There is little dispute there. Evolution is true of this physical world up to a point.

Scientists understand this, but they say that there’s a missing link somewhere because human beings are a breed apart. We have the ability to think, reason, dream, plan and execute our will and desires and then build upon them. Animals never go past their limited level of survival instincts. Animals have a brain, but they don’t have a mind because a mind is a spiritual aspect that makes humans a cut above the animals. It’s also true that humanity has been known to behave more like animals than human beings in many circumstances, I have to grant you. That’s because the nature of the Serpent (Satan) is hidden in our unconscious minds and moves upon us to respond to our “lower nature.” I call it “evil-ution.” We hear remarks about the beast within humans all the time. Sometimes they’re said to be wolves, chickens, dogs, etc. depending upon the way they emotionally conduct themselves in this life, especially while interacting with other people. Physically speaking, we are close enough to even have some pig organs transplanted in humans when human organs are not available for surgery.

Let’s talk about another kingdom right about now and see if there is a connection between this physical kingdom and a higher kingdom. Jesus said the Kingdom of God has come into your midst when He was walking in the flesh of Jesus of Nazareth. What was He saying to us? He was speaking of a much higher kingdom that was spiritual, not merely physical, that was being manifested to us from within Him. Jesus added that His Heavenly Father and He were of one Spirit. He also said, only that which came down from heaven can go back up to heaven. What does that mean? He was saying that He was from above. The word above is used in the King James Translation 214 times. Do you suppose that there’s a tremendous difference between what’s formed above and what’s formed below?

Where’s the connection in all of this? To understand it we will have to go back to before time began when there was only the incomprehensible one called “it” or the Ayn Sof. The word means “nothing” or unmanifested potential. It’s not a disrespectful term. It simply means that “IT” is so high above us that nothing in our mere mortal minds can comprehend “Him.” Therefore it means there is “nothing” that we can possibly identify with. There is no place that the Ayn Sof is not filling. He is Light and there is no darkness in Him, so He withdrew His Light in the midst of Himself to make an empty space to bring forth His Creation. A residue of spiritual black matter was formed in this empty space that we’ll call a well or a womb or a black hole like the scientists do. It can be likened to a negative that can develop into a visible picture when light contrasts it.

In much the same way as a woman’s womb is the holding tank for a baby that isn’t even formed yet, this “womb” was called Adam Kadmon. God created this deep well or womb for Himself and began to fill it with aspects of Himself. We could call them living spiritual tissue. He willed this visible spiritual form to come into existence by the power in the sound of His own word coming forth. The Spirit of God has no form whatsoever, but He (It) began to bring forth a thought form in the midst of Himself. He did it through spiritual letters and numbers through what is called the Ten Sefirot by early Hebrew scholars. The Ten Sefirot have circular and linear aspects to it. It’s sort of like the binary system or code whose units are powers of two. It uses circles (zeros) and the number 1 over and over again in combinations to produce a desired effect. The “metaphorical body” of Adam Kadmon is compared to a human form so that we can just begin to comprehend what God was doing. Like a human, it is said to have a head with “two” eyes, “two” ears, “two” nostrils, a mouth, throat, torso, arms, legs, and even a sexual organ for “spiritual reproduction.”

These aspects of God that are coming together were called male and female because of their respective roles to reproduce themselves similar to cell division in the plant kingdom. A symbolic name given to it is the Tree of Life because it is the spiritual building blocks of the family tree or household of God. The living spiritual tissue issuing forth were spiritual beings or Spheres or aspects of God. Within Adam Kadmon the various attributes of the nature of the invisible God would just begin to take on form, a thread at a time, you might say. These threads are said to be in the form of spiritual Hebrew letters and numbers. Now we don’t really know what this visible spiritual creation looked like, but we do know that the “fallen physical creature” that we are doesn’t even begin to measure up to it. We know now that God is engraving His very nature upon those He has called in this hour, through these “spiritual letters and numbers.” He’s causing them to measure up to the full stature of the “new creation man” He intended to bring forth from His “womb” from the very beginning. Christ Jesus is the “Living Word” of God that the Ayn Sof is doing it through in this age. The “letter of the law” just couldn’t accomplish it.

Now how could this shapeless fluid spiritual creation show up as a hard dense physical creation? What kind of a mystery is this? The unfolding revelation will soon begin to take shape in your mind if you’re open to what the Living God desires you to know. It’s for those that have eyes to see and ears to hear. Now we all have physical eyes and ears, but God is speaking about spiritual eyes and ears here. Are you ready for a very concentrated version of what took place? Fasten your seat belts and pray and ask our Heavenly Father for the grace to receive the truth He desires you to know. This is not given to everyone, I assure you. For those that are blessed to hear it, the ability to receive it is not always present either. But if you truly want truth, you must ask your Heavenly Father to prepare you to receive it. Humbly ask for it and you shall receive it.

Jesus told us that He was the Light of the world and that He was Living Water. Obviously He was not speaking about physical light and water. Do you know that scientists tell us that everything in earth came forth from degraded light including water and even our physical blood is made from grades of light? Everything that is manifesting in this physical world has its “roots” in the invisible realms. What is visible comes out of the invisible unseen worlds. Jesus plainly said that He was or existed “before” Abraham when the Jews boasted that their ancestry dated back to Abraham. He was telling them that the essence of the metaphorical head of Adam Kadmon was now completed in Him and that the kingdom of God was standing in their midst cloaked over in His veil of flesh.

Jesus is the Head of the metaphorical body of Adam Kadmon and is now awaiting His body that is to come forth. God’s creation has not been completed yet. We’re still in utero. We’re not completely spiritually “born again.” We’ve only just begun. Eye hasn’t seen and ear hasn’t heard the things that God has prepared for us once we’re in a spiritual condition to enter in. Flesh and blood will never enter into His Kingdom because it is not born of Him and it is unclean. It cannot stand before a Holy God. This “animal nature” must be changed into His image (nature) and be swallowed up by our God who is purifying us. Our God is a consuming spiritual fire of purification that will change us into His image or nature as we walk in obedience to Him. Jesus is saying once again to us, let there be Light in you and Living Water flowing through you. Be transformed in your mind to be the prepared place or temple for my invisible Spirit to inhabit that I might walk and talk and manifest my glory through you. I will to be seen through you. We need the mind of Christ imparted to us so that we can become this new “creation man.” May Thy kingdom come and Thy will be done in us.

Some of the original incomplete spiritual creation plummeted and broke down into the substance of this physical creation in several stages. You might say this earth came about as a miscarriage. It definitely was an act of rebellion and a “miscarriage of justice.” An aspect of God that was not in proper balance brought about this temporary chaotic world where everything dies because of sin. But the Living God will rectify that shortly. In God’s sight it is no more than an intermission before His Creation is restored back to His original plan. Scripture says we fell down to hell, which is to say the” rock bottom” of this black hole known as the planet earth. Scientists say the earth evolved from “nothing.” I find that very interesting since that is the Name given to the Ayn Sof by the Hebrew scholars. Scientists also speak about their search for “black matter” that makes up most of the physical universe. Scripture plainly states that whatever manifests in the physical is “rooted” in the invisible realms. This is outer darkness and Jesus said the Kingdom of God is (accessible or potentially) within us. That is the inner Light of Christ (mind) that connects us to revelation, wisdom, knowledge and understanding and every aspect of the nature of the one true Godhead. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. Philippians 2: 5-6.

For just a little while we’ll skip over the unfolding creation that took place in the “womb” that is known as Adam Kadmon by the Hebrew scholars. Suffice it to say that humanity descended from the “beings” in the realms or “worlds” of Adam Kadmon thru Noah. He was a spiritual being who reproduced by cell division and Noah had his sons within him. Each of these “beings” were both male and female and the female within them was called their wife. We already know that one of the scriptural Names of God means the full breasted one, which symbolizes the female aspects of God. So that shouldn’t be a shock to us that male and female aspects are united in these beings that reproduce by cell division like the plant kingdom.

Now remember that these beings were spiritual, but still in some sort of visible form. There were spiritual eggs in the metaphorical Adam Kadmon’s ovary and they were warned to wait for completion through union or “marriage” with God, but the “woman” part of the egg listened to the lie of the serpent and was convinced that she could be completed by experiences and thus the fall began. Disobedience prevented them from containing the Light of God and they broke apart from the proper order and intended completed configuration. God’s plan was aborted by the illegal penetration of the serpent into the egg. There would be several attempts at restoration that would fail in the spiritual realms after that. The substance of the creation that was taken by the serpent at the initial fall would be used to bring this physical creation into existence at the time of the flood. I may have the sequence of events wrong, but I believe that was the “big bang” that scientists speak of as the beginning of this visible physical creation. It burst through from the visible “spiritual” realm into this visible “physical” realm.

Noah alone was found righteous, but eventually he fell from righteousness and the following generations continued in disobedience and separated from the presence of God. There came an age or a time when God intervened and these fallen fluid spiritual beings were put in prison houses to contain any unrestrained evil. Those “prison houses” are these dense physical bodies that limit our evil potential. Our prison houses were made out of the same physical matter stream that had been simultaneously undergoing the process known to us as evolution over the “trillion years” known to us as time. Here’s where evolution and devolution met and the devolving spirit of man was joined together with the hard clogs of clay that the Book of Job speaks about. This matter stream had simultaneously been evolving from rock to plant to fish, insects, mammal and birds over trillions of years. I believe God carved a figure out of the earth or the matter stream and breathed the breath of life into it. The substance of the earth was only a residue of the dead seed of Adam Kadmon but it received what God calls existence and it had consciousness and the potential to be reconciled to God and receive life. The Scriptures speak of the multiple ways in which God intervened in the affairs of men for the purpose of correction so that they could be reconciled to Him. The Father has always desired His sons to be returned to Him.

Be assured there was a beginning and there will be an ending to this physical creation. Even our scientists acknowledge that. The original plan of the Ayn Sof shall come to pass and it will be accomplished in us. His will shall be done in our physical earthy bodies and His mind within us shall accomplish bringing heaven and earth into the many-membered son that He desires. His will shall be done in heaven and in earth. We exist in time and He lives in the eternal realms where time does not exist and He’s calling us to come up higher in our minds so that we can come forth in His image. Right now we’re at a very low place and in the image of the serpent and only have the likeness of God. The potential is there but it’s a long difficult spiritual journey of constant overcoming as we walk in obedience. But I read the end of the “Book” and know we’re going to make it and not a single egg in Adam Kadmon’s ovary will be lost. That doesn’t mean every personality is going to manifest the glory of God, but all of His substance will be returned unto Him. The Hebrew scholars never comprehended the full scope of what they term the rectification. The mediator between God and man is Christ Jesus. He is Adam Kadmon contained in the Malkhut of the Ten Sefirot, who is reconnecting us to the Ayn Sof. He is connected to the Head and we are the body which shall follow. The emphasis should not be that man became God, but that God came down and filled a man so fully that that man ceased to exist and only the glory of God shone forth from the vessel veiled in flesh.

The sequence of events is far more complicated but this is the general outline of it.

The warning here is don’t let the falling keep you from the calling.

This is our New Song:

I was born to be God’s dwelling place, a home for the presence of the Lord. So let my life now be separated unto Thee that I may be what I was born to be.

Change my heart, O God. Make it ever true. Change my heart, O God, may I be like you. You are the Potter, I am the clay. Mold me and make me like you. This is what I pray.

We are to know Him, love Him and serve Him and come into His Image as a Son and bear His Name, which means nature. Like Father, like Son. The inheritance of the Kingdom of God is prepared for the Son. The Lord Jesus Christ is the Head and we are to be changed into the body of Christ that He is to be joined to.

We are written in the “Book of the Dead” and that’s why we all die. That means we’re set or engraved with the serpent’s carnal mind. This world is the realm of the dead and we’re held captive here. That’s why Jesus came to set us free declaring that He was the Way, the Truth and the Life. God desires us to be re-written or re-engraved (via connection to His mind) in the Book of Life. Scripture tells us to choose Life not Death. This carnal mind is death and always wars against the mind of God. That’s why we’re told to get the mind of Christ. The Scripture says, Christ in us is the (only) hope of glory. That’s why the mediator, Jesus Christ, the Messiah, was sent to us by the Father.

How do we get the mind of Christ, you may ask. To start with we must be reconciled to God. That means acknowledging that He has authority over us and the way we live our lifestyle and that initially we all came out of Him. Then we have to acknowledge that our lifestyle is sin, even if it isn’t acted out in our behavior. Our very thinking processes are evil and inclined towards the very opposite ways of a Holy God. It seems like an impossible transition to make and without Christ it is impossible. Christ is the bridge over these troubled waters of Satan (this physical realm of death and hell). We have to cross over. To do this we have to acknowledge our sin nature and our helplessness to overcome it. Then we must humbly ask Jesus Christ, the Messiah and Savior, to spiritually enter our heart (the will area of our mind) and begin to change us little by little into His thought processings. It can’t be just a change of opinion in some areas. It must be a submission to His every direction that He brings to your attention. It usually begins with reading the Scriptures and making the little changes in our life that are obvious. It’s difficult and we will meet with much opposition, mostly from family and friends that believe they mean well and want the best for us. When you begin to trust and obey the little things that God will bring to your understanding, you will be on the long glorious path toward the salvation that He has in store for you. I can’t tell you the way that God will take you because it’s different for each of us, but I will tell you that you had better be prepared for the shock of hearing and seeing truths (mostly about yourself and your own motives) and religious beliefs and rituals and the world around you in general. The Lord will open your spiritual eyes and ears to the mysteries that He desires you to understand. He wants to bring us into all truth and understanding. This is done by imparting the Mind of Christ to us. The big question is are you willing? You’ve got so much to gain, but in order to do it you may have to give up a lot of the things of this world, should the Lord instruct you to do so. You’re going to lose them eventually, anyhow, and the gain of Christ is well worth it. It is a peace and joy that far outweighs what we call “happiness” which depends on “what’s happening now.” I pray that you hear the triumphant shout of the Living God to LET MY PEOPLE GO (from this physical world of corruption that was never intended to come into existence) and may you hear the invitation to enter into the Kingdom that He has prepared for you from the “spiritual” foundation of the world. May God bless you all.

P.S. Light is mentioned in the Scripture over 250 times along with another 100 verses that speak about enlightenment, etc. You would do well to also study the scriptures that speak of the Living True God, Living Water, Living Bread, Living Fountains and Living Light because the reverse inference is that there is a dead god of this world of existence that can only offer the things of death.
