Of Dispensations and Evolutions: A Journey Through Human Superiority and Emotional Development

On Dispensations

When Jesus said that the least in the new dispensation is greater than the greatest in the old, he was celebrating the power of the dispensation itself rather than the spiritual capacities of the least or the greatest. The great prophets of old lived in a spiritually barren earth where accessing God was like finding water in a desert—scarce and arduous. But in the new dispensation, Jesus introduced a spiritual earth where communion with God has no restrictions and no hurdles.

Back in those days, a zealous Uzzah once reached out to steady the ark of God, and the ark's intense energy field struck him down instantly. Today, many altars still have intense fields of energy around them, but they no longer kill those who come near. That’s the power of dispensations at work.

In any dispensation, those who foresaw computers in the age of candles were mocked as lunatics and locked away in homes meant for the insane. Yet in the 21st-century dispensation, whoever doesn’t know what a computer is seems to be living in the Stone Age.

Some talents shine brighter in certain dispensations than others. In Jesus’ time, his followers were a handful, not even close to the billions who revere his name in this current dispensation.

On Evolution

The human baby, wobbly and crawling on all fours—or sixes, if you count hands, knees, and toes—eventually stands upright, then takes cautious steps, sometimes falling back to crawling, until walking becomes second nature. The oldest gorilla, by contrast, still walks on all fours—though we call it “knuckle-walking” to make it sound more dignified.

Gorillas are remarkably similar to humans in instinct and behaviour, lending credence to the theory of evolution. Yet, they can’t solve complex problems or build rockets to explore other planets. Gorillas live entirely by instinct, whereas man has brains that can think beyond instinct.

In the dispensation of animals, the least human baby in the higher-animal dispensation is greater than the greatest gorilla in the lower-animal dispensation. Science tells us that evolution meant animals developed thinking brains and eventually became man.

On Other Humans

Human emotions also separate man from animals. Animals are driven by instinct—ferocity, possessiveness, independence, and even friendship—all in the name of survival. They build shelters to keep out sun, rain, and predators, not to build cities that scrape the skies.

Animals attack only when threatened, and their response is purely physical. Humans, however, experience a wide range of emotions. Their developed brains didn’t just give them the ability to think but also to feel deeply and respond to the world around them with empathy or caution.

When facing a ferocious animal, a human’s emotional response can delay his physical reaction—an advantage for the animal. That’s why it’s in humanity’s best interest to remain above animals, because while humans pause to feel, animals act instantly.

Among humans, those who react faster than their emotions allow us to call them names usually reserved for wild beasts: ruthless, opportunistic, predatory. The more emotionally developed a human is, the more human he becomes—capable of better responses and deeper connections with others.

Humans develop in three main areas: thinking, emotional, and physical. The thinking man uses his mind to create tools that move civilization forward. The emotionally developed man—often a deeply intuitive woman—navigates life through the unseen energies of her world, avoiding spaces that might harm her. The physically developed man, the brawny one, sees the world as a battlefield where everything can be settled by might.

Each navigates the world in their own way. The brainy would never face a lion in battle but will outsmart it. The brawny would fancy the challenge, while the feeling man would prefer never to set foot in the lion’s domain at all.

Ultimately, it’s the range of emotions we’ve been exposed to—and triumphed over—that shapes who we become. Emotions fuel development: the dislike of fear pushes us to believe in something greater, and belief itself is an emotion.

As humanity evolves, he sees animals and plants for what they are: creatures whose outlook rarely changes. Civilization is humanity’s crown, while extinction has often been the fate of the animal world.
