According to Helper :
Enshrined in the stuff of earthscheme is an impetus towards registration of the Divine (heartnosis). The changes issuing from this impetus are the evolution seen by Teilhard. This impetus could not be excluded by Painmaker. After physical death every being is sucked back into earthscheme … and continues to evolve. The being that becomes fully seized of the inferiority of earthly pleasures and satisfactions relative to heartnosis, escapes the scheme. Painmaker must make do with the suffering endured by beings whilst in earthscheme.
A being’s return to earthscheme is always into a situation that does not hamper its progress. There is no choosing of the individuals who will be parents.
I have been in over two thousand species, starting with a unicellular organism, 75 times a human. Beings evolve at different rates because of variation in the experiences afforded them; as you might expect of a jungle. All beings evolve to freedom from earthscheme.
What distinguishes soul evolution philosophies like Hinduism and Jainism from Helper’s account are their premises that (a) earthscheme is the handiwork of God. What should we understand by Divinity if a scheme dripping with selfishness, coarseness, cruelty, calamity, disease can be attributed to it ?? The attempts in these theses to show reason in the horrors of earthscheme are quite ludicrous, each ‘explanation’ spawning a suite of further questions … the portrait of a hideous alchemy disintegrates as it is rendered (b) we can accelerate our evolution through right choices. But evolution is the registration (realisation), in increasing measure, of the preferability of selflessness, kindness. If the concept of ‘free will’ is to carry minimal logic, it must imply the option of right action informed by precept rather than illumination … rectitude of that ilk is sterile (c) beings may regress in evolutionary terms.
