It is only when you embark on the Path of Destiny that true spiritual evolution begins. When we begin our spiritual path we are on a path of growth. Growth is a horizontal flow.
Evolution is a vertical flow.
When we are working on the Masteries of Awareness and Transformation we are in our growth. We are working horizontally in the Tonal. The Mastery of Intent marks the beginning of evolution. We are working vertically with the energy of our Dreamer, which comes to us through intent. We must complete a substantial amount of growth before we can evolve.
