towards collective redemption.

The origin of creation is an individualisation - the manifestation or emanation of many, as units, out of the undividedand indivisible Single. It meant freedom for each unit to choose; the individual became, so to say a unit of freedom. the immediate result, however, was not very successful, apparently, for the individual unit chose to follow a path exactly opposite to its origin: the individualisation happened as if an element shot out of the infinite unity and flung itself in its momentum, as far away as possible, to the other pole so to say. that is how the one spirit became the infinite particles of inconscient matter. The purpose and problem then set was to bring back the straying elements to their source and origin. (we all know how difficult it is to get a son or child to be like the father or parent)
The work was long travail. it is taking ages and ages for the one being who could do to prepare slowly, mount the steps gradually along which creation slid down, recover the ground painfully and achieve the hidden purpose, vindicating amply the deviation and the fall. through devious ways, long winding, arduous marches the spirit of evolution laboured through millenniums, the instrument utilised by the divine grace.
The original individual was a hard concentrated point of ego, concerned wholly and absolutely with itself. So a situation of give and take was brought about so that even to exist meant to exist through others. human society began in this way. the solitary human animal for its own sake had to come out of its solitariness, take to a mate and thus gradually bring up a family. the wall of egoism was broken to that extent, its scope extended. This enlargement of the ego continues increasing the content of the unity. From family then enlarged to a tribe,  then into a nation, larger and larger aggregates are being formed, the whole of humanity has begun moving as an aggregate. the individual has learnt to find himself in the life of humanity as a whole. he has to look up to the whole creation as one existence through which he has to exist. thus the universe is recovering its original indivisible unity, but it has gained something in the process. for it is not the featureless unity at the source but an enriched and multiple unity in expression. an individual in his collective consciousness turn back and move straight to its original unity. he can establish direct contact, commune and unite with the divine himself from whom it came and strayed away. the ranges of ascent are within him and are in line with those outside which the universe is traversing in the path of evolution. Such is the process the Divine grace has undertaken to fulfil the divines purpose in creation.
