evolution. We may liken it to when a person, about to leave home, pauses in the
hallway, and after opening the door decides that his journey is over. This idea halts a

being’s evolution and development.

In the course of man’s proper evolutionary development, the structure of his spirit
approximates ever more closely that of his physical body (Figs. 44-57). This is the state
most conducive for the functioning of the physical and spiritual bodies as a single
harmonious unit. The presence of mental bodies endows man with enormous mental
power. Such power enables one to influence the process of nature on both local and

planetary levels; by thought alone to influence and control the processes unfolding in
human society; to see and hear the past, present and future; to influence and shape the
future of an individual or the entire human race; to travel in space and traverse the
entire universe. The power of thought alone makes all these things possible and many,
many more. Such power can only develop in someone with innocent thoughts, a pure
soul, and a generous, open heart — because only a person following the correct
evolutionary path, the path of benevolence, can attain those higher levels.

Evil, despite its illusion of power, is unable to evolve. The imaginary power of evil
lies in its pervasiveness: the majority of people cannot perceive what is happening on
14
other levels of reality .
Thus, we have examined all the stages of evolutionary development encountered in
living organisms, from the simplest to the most complex, on all levels of the planet —

etheric, astral, first, second, third and fourth mental levels. Every living organism
possesses an essence or spirit. The minimum number of spirit bodies is one (the etheric)
for simple, primitive organisms, and the maximum is six (etheric, astral, first second,
third, and fourth mental bodies) for the most highly evolved humans. As long as any
organism is alive, its physical body and spirit constitute a unity. What happens, then,
to the spirit of an organism when it dies either from natural causes or through violence?

What happens to the spirits of all living organisms who are still alive today or of species
that existed during the four billion years of life on Earth?

Millions of living species have emerged and disappeared as life evolved on earth. A
certain number of them still occupy ecological systems on the planet today. But billions
and billions of species existed and became extinct. What happened to the spirits of
those organisms? Perhaps spirits perish with the death of the physical body! If so, under

what conditions? If not, what happens to them after the death of the physical body and
where do they go? What happens to them after death? What becomes of the spirits of
extinct species and what happens to the spirits of species still living in Earth's
ecological systems?

14 The highest power in the universe reveals itself in its harmonious and benign influence on natural
processes and human affairs.
