Following from ‘The Evolution of the Observer’ (Kinfonet Journal), allow me to use the word ‘evolution’ in a different sense, perhaps only a human one, to mean liberation. From that we can say that the purpose of human existence is to be free of the consciousness of separateness, and also the ending of sorrow consequent upon this self-consciousness. As our lives pass, we are, in every moment, consciously or unconsciously, faced with the choice of struggling either to evolve (liberate) or to postpone evolution - to be free or not to be free.

Since evolution as liberation is not at the end of a process, not through time, obviously how our moments pass every day indicates its presence. And with every thought, feeling and action during the day, we are either helping our evolution or delaying it. Thus we create our own destiny.

Looking at my inner process at the end of a day to find out whether in that day I have accelerated or retarded my evolution, I question, without self-condemnation, what it is that I seek. Postponement or growth?

I explore myself as described in the following list:

For me, this list is growing every day. Take this exploration as no more than a game I am playing with myself.
