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 the scheme.
A being’s return to earthscheme is always into a situation that does not hamper its progress.
I have been in over two thousand species, starting with a unicellular organism, two hundred 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 for the horrors of earthscheme are quite ludicrous, each ‘explanation’ spawning a suite of further questions … the portrait of a hideous alchemy disintegrates even as it is rendered (b) we can accelerate our evolution through right choices. But evolution is a registration (realisation), in increasing measure, of the preferability of selflessness, kindness. Right action flows from this; it is – inevitable – consequence, not driver. If the concept of ‘free will’ is to carry any 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.
