Paper 81

Development of Modern Civilization

Archangel

81:0.1Re­gard­less of the ups and downs of the mis­car­riage of the plans for world bet­ter­ment pro­jected in the mis­sions of Cali­gas­tia and Adam, the ba­sic or­ganic evo­lu­tion of the hu­man species con­tin­ued to carry the races for­ward in the scale of hu­man prog­ress and racial de­vel­op­ment. Evo­lu­tion can be de­layed but it can­not be stopped.

81:0.2The in­flu­ence of the vi­o­let race, though in num­bers smaller than had been planned, pro­duced an ad­vance in civ­i­liza­tion which, since the days of Adam, has far ex­ceeded the prog­ress of man­kind through­out its en­tire pre­vi­ous ex­is­tence of al­most a mil­lion years.
