<p class=MsoNormal style="text-align:justify; mso-pagination:
none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">EVOLUTION does not proceed
in a straight line, but in a spiral. That is to say, it is not a constant
progress in one direction, but consists of progression, regression and an
ultimate progression. The spiral movement means that all things must enter into
the phenomenon of evolution, so that it is not one thing only that progresses
and others lag behind but that all move forward – all move forward but at
different speeds and also from different starting-points. And they move not
straight as the crow flies, but in a circle like the soaring eagle. When you
concentrate upon one point of the circle, you will see relatively to it many
others not advancing at all but receding and the point itself will seem at
times to be going back towards a position already left behind. One goes back to
pick up certain elements that have not been included in the progress, not
properly dealt with. It happens usually that when you progress in one thing,
you forget another; so you have to turn back and take up the neglected element.
Thus you have to go round and round, as it were, until you include the totality
of your being, even embrace the totality of the universe. When you have,
however, gathered the by-passed factor and come back to the original position
from where you seemed to have regressed, you find that you are not exactly at
the same point but at a corresponding point on a higher plane. That forms a
spiral, not merely a circle.</p>

are, in the universe, an infinite number of points moving, each forming a
spiral; so there are an infinite number of spirals. And these spirals do not
lie only side by side, but cross each other and thus give an aspect of
contrariness and contradictoriness. So if you wish to take a total view of the
movement of universal progress, you will be somewhat puzzled.<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

so many lines that advance and there <span class=GramE>are</span> so many which
recede at the same time. Some come into the <span class=GramE>light,</span>
others go into the background and none independent or self-sufficient. There is
a sort of intermingling, even coordination.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-indent:11.5pt;mso-line-height-alt:

universe can thus be conceived as a globe consisting of an infinite number of
intersecting spirals. One can give to each spiral a different colour, each representing
one aspect of nature's movement. A model globe of this kind may perhaps be
constructed. A section only of the curve of a spiral is on the <span
class=GramE>outside,</span> the rest is within the globe and can be seen
because of its special colour, provided we consider the globe as something
transparent. It is these multiple sections outside that form the surface of the
globe. The inside is of course full of spirals, excepting that section of a
spiral which is outside. And yet though crossing and <span lang=EN-GB
style='mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>recrossing</span> they do not form an opaque
mass. One can see through and follow the brilliant lines of various <span
lang=EN-GB style='mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>colours</span>. That is how I see
it. You can try to make a geometrical figure of it, if possible.</p>

11.75pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>Nature
has a plan of its own. It is not like the coherent rational plan of man.
Nature's plan is made of an aspiration, a decision and a goal. But the way is
quite fantastic, so it appears to man. Nature seems to move from moment to moment,
under the stress of the occasion; there are advances, withdrawals, trials,
contradictions, demolitions of things, laborious building up, and again
throwing down. It is a complete chaos. She begins a thing, leaves it half done,
takes up another, rejects one thing altogether, begins anew something left off,
makes, remakes, unmakes, separates, mixes up. She follows a million lines of
advance at the same time but not from the same point and each with its own
speed and rhythm. There is such a tangle that seems to make no sense. Still
there is a <span class=GramE>plan,</span> she pursues an object which seems to
be very clear to her, although veiled to the human eye. The spiral globe I
spoke of was meant to give some idea of this complex unity in Nature's plan.</p>

can bring in a better order, with less waste and more efficiency, a more
conscious organisation. But for that man must change his own inner organisation
first. In his own consciousness and being he must bring out a new order, a new
cosmos.<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
