There can be no evolution without prior involution

"There can be no evolution without prior involution. Thus what

science calls the ‘evolution of species’ has to have been

preceded by a movement of involution. This is true for creatures,

and it is true also for matter. Before the evolution of matter

came the involution of spirit. The advocates of evolution have

only observed things from the outside, from the perspective of

the organization of matter, without taking into account the

invisible forces that had previously worked on it.

Evolution is only half of a process of manifestation. Observing

it in isolation cuts it off from the truth of life. Taken in

isolation, this process has no place in nature. You cannot prove

that evolution is possible without assuming the existence of a

prior impulse, which activated it and continues to sustain it.

And this impulse comes from above. It was spirit that came down

first, and if we see matter evolving, it is because it is being

carried upward by the movement of the spirit raising it back up

to its place of origin."
