Mankind is the crown of creation. In evolutionary terms, mankind has on this earth still a long way to go, regarding the manmade wars, pollution and crime.
But mankind is and will remain the crown of Our creation.
Why, a cynic will ask?
I will respond according to five aspects.
- The physique of man: man has been evolved through fish, creeping reptile, apelike mammal into the image of cosmic man: walking uprightly, looking at the stars, velvety skin, active hands. Marvel of evolutionary beauty, link between beast and spirit. First phase of the spiritual man meant to be.
- The intellect of man: the human mind is capable of thinking, thinking about oneself and life, looking back and forward, getting out of the here and now physical situation, dreaming, inventing and then creating, and capable of being happy.
- The art of man: man is creating things, until his arrival this was only reserved for God. A
spider web, a nest, a hollow covered with leaves, creations of animals, are
modest antecedents.
Michelangelo's David, the girl with the pearl from Vermeer, the tall images of Giacometti, the cantatas of Bach, the cut rubies of a diamond polisher, are reflecting a little bit heavenly beauty. And this is just the beginning. - The heart of man: the grim defense by a mother duck of her offspring is in man transformed into: charity, an operating western surgeon in a refugee camp, a loving imam in a mosque, a young nurse in a slum, a heavily burdened president of a poor country are examples of people with a big heart, who have transformed human selfishness into loving deeds for humanity.
- The spiritual transformation of man: a man seeking and finding His God and with heart and mind transformed into a saint. A man, handing over his personality voluntarily to His God and becoming an instrument of eternity, and this already on earth. These men are becoming God's hands on earth. The eternal image of man, bringing forth the miracles and graces God has devised for man. The last promise. "Thou shalt seed greater deeds than I," the Christ said.
The spiritual world is blessing mankind for its fivefold beauty. And evolution will ultimately transform all humanity and the whole planet into a planet of Light and Love.
But this all will "take some more time".
My blessings to you all
