I set out to look at what the Company of Heaven had to say about “spiritual evolution.” But when I looked at the final product, all of them were quotations from the Arcturian Group through Marilyn Raffaele. Thank you, Marilyn, for your unwavering focus on the basic questions.
What is the bottom line of spiritual evolution, the purpose of life?
The bottom line of the spiritual evolutionary journey is to bring every soul to realization, to a state of consciousness aware of ITself as the fullness of individualized Divine Being. (1)
Spiritual evolution is simply the process of remembering who you are. Cease your struggles and rest in what is. (2)
I intellectually know that I am God. What’s next?
As with every aspect of spiritual evolution, intellectual knowledge of a truth is only the first step. …
Know [i.e., fully realize] the truth and then take whatever human footsteps you are guided to take, be it employment or assistance of some sort. Let your actions be what resonates with you, and not what others may be telling you to do for their guidance – as well meaning as it may be – is representative of their state of consciousness and not yours. (3)
When we realize our Oneness, will we lose our individuality?
Oneness does not mean you do not or will not always have individuality. Spiritual oneness is not one bulk group consciousness as some believe. Oneness refers to the ONE omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient Source Consciousness individualized as every person and all life forms. (4)
Is spiritual evolution the same for all of us or different?
Spiritual evolution is different for every individual because it builds and unfolds from each person’s past life experiences, choices, lessons learned and still needing to be learned, willingness to change, desire for spiritual knowledge, and the person’s Higher Self.
Many have not yet attained a level of consciousness able to energetically align with the higher frequencies and need more time in “earth school”. This is why it never helps another or is loving to push spiritual “pearls” onto those who are simply unable to align with, understand, or value them. (5)

Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Jesus in Matthew 6:33.)
If you realize God, you will get everything else. (Paramahansa Ramakrishna in Swami Nikhilananda, trans., The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna. New York: Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center, 1978; c1942, 615.) (Hereafter GSR.)
Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat which endureth unto everlasting life [love] , which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. (Jesus in John 6:27.)
First of all set up God in the shrine of your heart, and then deliver lectures as much as you like. … First of all dive deep. Plunge to the bottom and gather up the gems. Then you may do other things. (Paramahansa Ramakrishna in GSR, 125.)
