Ah, Ravi, it seems we are destined to disagree. Perfection and evolution are not incompatible. Evolution is part of perfection. Not only within individuals, but within species. Anyone who can't see that the hunter-gatherer stage/age of humankind was a predominantly 1st chakra age, survival and tribal imprinting, that the agricultural, Goddess, Matriarchal age was predominantly a 2nd chakra age, feminine, nurturing, domesticating plants and animals, that this previous 5 or so thousand years of the Patriarchal Age has again been predominantly masculine, concerned with science, commerce, worldly power and war, i.e. 3rd chakra functioning, and that the next obvious step is for us to move into at least 4th chakra, though those of us tuned into these things feel it will be both 4th and 5th chakra functioning, a renewal and balancing of the masculine and feminine for the 1st time in human history, is not looking. None of this is in any way contradictory to the innate perfection that always exists in all things. It's part of it.
But I fear we'll get into it, again, and I can't really do that. So, perhaps we should agree to disagree one more time.
