Evolution - is measured by the degree of sensitivity

05/22/2005

In what way do stones, plants, animals and humans differ in their degree of evolution? The essential difference between them is their degree of sensitivity. Evolution is directly proportional to sensitivity, or in other words, to the faculty of perceiving and reacting. Plants are more sensitive than stones, animals are more sensitive than plants, and humans are more sensitive than animals. But the chain of beings does not end here: beyond human beings there are angels, archangels and divinities. An entire gradation of increasingly sensitive beings exists all the way to God himself. God is omniscient and all-powerful because he possesses absolute sensitivity. Yes, these are the true dimensions of sensitivity, and the only being who is truly sensitive is God himself.
