<1>However, a further evolutionary process
became necessary: the separation of
male and
female into man and
woman. This occurred because each
unit consciousness was a perfect unit in quality and did not
feel any need for the help that was necessary to attract it toward
the Great (the goal). <2>That is why this separation,
especially at the higher levels of the evolutionary process (higher
plants, animals, and humans) took place. "And the rib, which the
Lord
God
had taken from man, made he a woman,...."
<3>With this separation, a great feeling of
not being complete is inherent in the human, and forces a man to
search for the cause of this emptiness and dissatisfaction. The
search to find the other half draws them even deeper and faster into
the ocean of Maya. This
helps the humans realize faster how weak they are. <4>Through
this process man starts questioning the reason for being here, who he is, where he has
come from, where he is going, and so on.
<5>This is the beginning of the
attraction to the mystery of the universe and the basis for
the human search in finding answers to his questions.
This will lead him to the deeper level of his being and
cause him to become more familiar with the world within. <6>If he continues and is sincere and
persistent, eventually he will be led to the reality that there is a
Superior Power in this universe, with definite Laws to follow and
many realities to understand. It is then that he will thirst to know
the truth, and if he is sincere, he will know. "Ask, and it shall be
given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened
unto you:" (Matthew 7:7).
<7>Intuitively he knows that he was once
perfect in the past but some time ago he had lost one part of
himself. With all these drives, his journey toward
Pure Consciousness begins.
<8>Only when a human realizes his imperfection
and feels the need of help from
God will he be helped.
<9>At the time of reunion with his other
half, or when born
male and
female, or when the
lower nature (woman) is overcome, he becomes perfect and will reach
Pure
Consciousness. So
he will be(come) a son of God, because he has, by His
Grace, overcome the forces of nature over his
Soul and is in the image and likeness of
God. He will reach
Pure
Consciousness ().
<10>This reaching
Pure
Consciousness is the goal of
yoga (yoga
means "union").
