Evolution is fascinating to watch. To me it is the most interesting when one can observe the evolution of a single man.

A Concept Of Nature And Man!

Nature is a living scientific art God enjoys best;
Nature’s artistic evolution is God’s grand creation
Of algae, plants, fish, reptiles, birds, beasts, man and divine!

Nature is for evolution but man is for revolution to excel it;
Nature evolves his heart, mind and soul to scientists and poets;
What scientists see in parts poets see as a whole to know truth!

Energy of Nature can neither be created nor destroyed everywhere
As the activating Spirit God gravitationally balances matter and energy
By being present in all pervadingly invisible, invincible and in infinity!

Naturally evolved man has mentally grown to be a superman to develop
Spiritually himself to be a divine to reach God in communion with Nature!

Surfing Today

To the day that suspects us of laughter
We ride the waves as we surf, and evolve.
As swimming is not our style, we damage
The air with our style of surfing, then we evolve.
The surprise is in store for the winners
Who munch on ice-lollies when in luck.
The water is dangerous at this hour of the day
Since it is the sun that evolved, now no longer seen.
We laugh for our swimming to endanger us
When the humans carry on surfing into the hours.

The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

No single discovery from any of these fields denotes proof of evolution, but together they reveal that life evolved in a certain sequence by a particular process.

My marriage? Up to now everything's okay. But it's a real marriage - imperfect and very difficult. It's all about people evolving somewhat simultaneously through their lives. I think we've emotionally evolved.

A Highly Evolved Being Would Not Shoot Back

A highly evolved being would give its life
if you wanted to kill this being with a gun or a knife.
A highly evolved being would not shoot back,
for it knows it's soul lasts and lasts.
So as you see
on a highly evolved planet people don't die from greed.
They don't die at all
in fact they all have a ball
Not like on Earth where we are infants still
not like a real infant who is real.
Real before the innocence was lost
lost to the planetary dream which life costs.

It seems to me that for Darwin the pulsing of evolutionary rates was a strictly vertical phenomenon.

The artist is an educator of artists of the future who are able to understand and in the process of understanding perform unexpected - the best - evolutions.

People talk about innovations and evolutions and that kind of thing; I don't understand about that nonsense. It's like, all instruments are there to use all the time.

spawn again

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
As a death from old age becomes nearer
Why can't the livestock be free
When trading soldiers for steak
Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Discard the old and in with the new
Discard the old and in with the fashion

Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Learn to evolve

In fact, the socialization gives us the tools to fill our evolutionary roles. They are our building blocks.

We humans have millions of years of evolutionary baggage that makes us regard competition in a deadly light.

But when you are embodied in a location, in a physical plant, in a set of people, and in a common history, that constrains your evolution and your ability to evolve in certain directions.
