The Story Of Judas
We have this now in our midst as they talk about evolution, and the world has accepted it, yet I am told that God created all things and called them good, and wondrous. All were distinct acts of creation. I have nothing to do with anything less than man, but everything less than man only bears witness to what I Am. I did not evolve through all the animals. That is true only as related to human affairs. I see it move from the canoe to the ocean liner; from the plow to the tractor, from the cave to the palace. Evolution is only in the affairs of men. The bird builds its nest as it first built it and it is fixed and perfect, but the things of form evolve. But this is not man – this body – this is only the mask (Persona). I am all Imagination and I wear this mask until I go through all the parts, and then I am He, for the purpose of the play is to awaken us, “for God alone acts in all existing beings and men.”
Neville distinguishes between physical evolution, which applies to the affairs of men and forms, and spiritual creation. Man, as Imagination, does not evolve from lower forms but is a distinct act of creation. The physical body is merely a 'mask' worn by Imagination as it plays various parts to awaken to its true divine identity.
