The first, and longest, part tries to reconcile religious tradition about
the creation with recent discoveries of science regarding the universe and
the origin of life. According to the Spirit Communicators, initially, Earth was
projected to raise all sorts of animals – as had been happening already for millions
of years.
As per Kardec´s Genesis, a certain type of monkey body would have been very
suitable to serve as “clothing” for the first human spirits who came to be
incarnated on Earth. As there are no sudden transitions in nature, it is likely that
the first men who appeared on Earth differed little from the monkey in its outer
form and, without a doubt, also in terms of its intelligence. Thus, Australopithecus
would be the group of monkey species with a direct relation to human evolution.
This species existed in Africa around 4.2 million years ago.
This would be the very beginning of our race on this planet. Mankind would have
started the journey there to develop, millennium after millennium, his
Consciousness (or soul, or spirit – whatever we call it).
As per the teaching of High Spirits, there exists a law that rules the entire Universe. They call it “The Law of Progress”. It is said
that each species that attains more knowledge and enlightenment is responsible for the one that is still one step behind.
According to this Law, Man should be responsible for guaranteeing conditions for animals to fully experience their journey to
develop too.
But, are we doing this? Or are we doing precisely the opposite? We have to admit that the debt the Human race has to the
Animal Kingdom is, absolutely, priceless.
