THE SOUL'S ASCENT: Intelligence Beyond Natural Selection

The Black Flame is the medium by which humanity was awakened to Its Greater Self!

Proto-man was just one of many animal species locked in the struggle for survival over millennia. While his brain evolved through natural selection, the question arises: why did the brains of other creatures not similarly evolve, even to a lesser extent?

The reality is stark: while man's brain has evolved considerably, those of other creatures have remained largely unchanged. By the law of averages, some species should have evolved intelligence approaching humanity's level, but none have.

So, what accounts for this disparity?

The answer points to a deliberate cause.

For proto-man, natural selection favored physical traits—strength, toughness, speed—over brain development. By this logic, we should resemble gorillas. Yet, our intelligence has paradoxically made us physically weaker but mentally stronger. Through intelligence, we've developed medicines, controlled environments, and weapons—tools that enhance survival.

Again, the question persists: what caused this shift?

Remove our extraordinary intelligence, and humanity would struggle to survive. Our intelligence seems to defy natural laws.

"We are left with the explanation: Deliberate Cause."

Enter the Black Flame

This suggests an isolated intelligence influencing our physical selves—something distinct from the objective universe and its laws. This psyche or soul isn't merely a product of the brain's functions; it imbues us with identity, uniqueness, and a sense of separation from the world.

We each perceive something within ourselves that defies explanation by physical laws alone. We resist being reduced to electrochemical equations; we sense a deeper essence, essential to our being.

Human intelligence, as a violation of objective universal law, suggests the existence of an intelligent entity beyond the physical universe. It allows us an external perspective and the creativity to act deliberately.

This greater self, or GodSelf, often misunderstood throughout history, allows us to tap into extraordinary potential repeatedly throughout life.

Human consciousness doesn't evolve passively like nature; it evolves consciously, driven by its own processes. To follow the unconscious path of nature—mindless and mechanistic—would halt our individual evolution. Nature inclines us towards lethargy and stagnation, but our self-aware consciousness empowers us to choose against this.

We can defy nature's course!
