The Goal of Life on Earth
An overview of soul evolution from plant to human levels, explaining consciousness growth, life challenges, and the spiritual choice between light and darkness.
Our souls are like embryos in the womb of the Universe. They grow on Earth by experiencing both light and darkness. Through many incarnations, the soul evolves through plant and animal forms before reaching human form.
Stages of Soul Growth and Consciousness Development
1. Plant Hypostasis – Early Soul Growth
In the plant stage, the soul loves life only for itself. This is the first stage of consciousness development.
2. Animal Hypostasis – Learning Compassion
In animals, the soul begins to experience empathy and compassion, first for offspring and then for others. Examples include:
- Early animal souls: jackals, hyenas, praying mantises, crocodiles, weasels, martens
- More advanced souls: lions, wolves, bears, dolphins – learning mercy toward prey
Herbivores experience suffering when eaten, helping their souls develop compassion.
3. Humanoid Pre-Human Hypostasis – Developing Free Will
Early human souls act like programmed humanoid beings, following societal rules. Souls are guided through life experiences of joy and hardship, gradually gaining independent decision-making and acting according to their true nature.
The Time of Choice – Light or Darkness
Before the Day of Judgment, every soul faces a test: to choose light or darkness. The path of light is chosen through actions that fulfill the will of God, not through words or empty prayers.
Growing Through Actions and Challenges
- Good souls increase in awareness and intelligence.
- Darkness in the world awakens others, prompting action and spiritual growth.
- Resistance to darkness fills the soul with higher consciousness.
Consequences of Choice for Human Development
Those without self-esteem remain behind the “wall” of uncertainty, while conscious actions allow souls to grow to human level. Darkness is controlled by Divine Light to balance soul development. Experiencing pain and challenges strengthens the soul.
Examples of Soul Learning
- A soul learns faithfulness after experiencing betrayal.
- A soul experiences suffering from violence and learns compassion.
- Both light and darkness create conditions for soul growth and consciousness.
The Ultimate Goal – Develop Consciousness
On the Day of Judgment, the level of the soul is what counts, not religious practices or deeds alone. Actions arise from the soul’s frequency. Each act of overcoming oneself strengthens the soul. The main goal of life is consciousness development.
