FMC00.591
Schema FMC00.591: shows the decisive phase for the development of humanity between the third Lemurian epoch and the Sixth epoch. In the Lemurian epoch, the spirit and group souls descended into the physical bodies that had developed to sufficient complexity to be able to develop the Human 'I'. This is shown left with the extract from Schema FMC00.210. The process of individuation through the Development of the I is still ongoing in the Current fifth Postatlantean epoch. In the next Sixth epoch, part of humanity will spiritualize again.
A bifurcation is happening with a decisive division between good and evil branches of mankind, starting today but especially the coming millenia and onwards. As a result of this, the balanced and spiritually mature (represented by the path of the Christ) will be able to continue development in non-physical changing conditions on Earth and beyond. Others will be chained to the lower material realms and ultimately make up a lower kingdom on the next planetary stage of evolution Future Jupiter. This is shown right with an extract from Schema FMC00.583 and the evolution of the kingdoms of nature per planetary stage.
The central illustration is based and inspired on Rudolf Steiner's drawings in the lecture of 1911-10-14-GA131, see also Schema FMC00.591A.
Commentary
Note 1 - About the 'catching on' of the Human 'I'
A short scribble
The ‘catching on’ of the human 'I' .. What is this?
It’s the fact the spirit is able to take hold of the lower bodies
Live in them, grow in them,
And evolve in a balanced way
So the spiritual influences are able to create an individualized
part of the higher self
First physically separate, soul separate
Than separate spirits
Outline for explanatory narrative
process
1/ So in Lemuria, by entered as droplets into the different physical bodies, a first individuation happened of the astral. The astral body was taken hold off, but remained connected to the group souls of humanity .. so initially evolution was from a situation like on Old Moon, or the animal kingdom.
For this, see:
- Development of the I#Note 1 - Narrative to the Development of the Human I
- Development of the I#Note 2 - The metaphoric image of the ocean, droplets and sponges.
- and Schema FMC00.443
The love brought by Jehovah was thus a love of bloodlines related to the group souls, versus the spiritual love that is to follow and to come with the Buddhi principle of Man's higher triad, see also Schema FMC00.481 on Love.
2/ Now the further individuation took place as the lower bodies were taken hold off, this is what we call the development of the threefold soul, see Human character - the I and threefold soul.
What grows, can grow astray .. hence the Sixteen paths of perdition and also Schema FMC00.338 etc.
Now the consciousness soul is a pivoting point, for given consciousness and free will, it's upto the human being, see Man's transformation and spiritualization
This was we connect our spirit self manas, causal body .. with the monad and buddhi ..
Ultimately vantage point: humanity as the next tenth hierarchy, see oa Christ Module 10 - Tenth Hierarchy
comment
This schema is in a way 'a tough one', there is something 'hefty' about it, in that it displays in a visual and blunt way what the destiny is of part of humanity. It is a statistical fact that not the whole population evolves in the same way, as explained by Christ-Jesus in the parable of the Sower.
But the net result is that part of the current human seeds will not be successful in developing the fourth bodily principle. If you have a dear pet animal, then realize that this is the result of earlier developments where animals remained with the third astral bodily principle and 'missed the evolutionary train', so to speak, to develop the fourth bodily principle of the Human 'I', as is the developmental goal for the current planetary stage of evolution Earth. Similarly, some human beings will 'end up' on Future Jupiter without having developed this fourth principle, and so will not be able to participate to the then-developmental goal of integrating the fifth bodily principle.
