Instinct
"Humanity, if it were only the instinct
that would guide all your actions in
your life, your Father would not have
had to reveal His Law to you, nor would
He have had to come as Redeemer to save
you. However, do not depend on your
instinct; superior forces govern your
actions and those forces are in the
spirit."
Our basic material self, which is our body, is endowed with
instincts, as it happens with all animals. Those instincts
are somewhat useful to us since they take care of the most
simple and basic functions of our body, in order to keep it
well and alive.
But differently from the animals, we humans do not only have a spirit, but we have materially evolved so much in our body and brain that we do not have to be driven by biological imperatives only. We have reason in us, which separates us from our irrational animal brothers, but most important is that we have values, both moral and spiritual, that are by definition the clear manifestation of superior entity in us: The spirit. We understand the spirit as that being which was created to the image and likeness of our Father; it is eternal, immaterial, it is an idea. The soul, on the other hand, being subtle and ethereal as it is, is still material, temporal, it belongs to this Universe's whole matter's count. Animals, plants and humans, even rocks and common matter have soul. Spirit? Only the human being has it. Everything is subjected to evolution: Souls evolve too, and we can clearly see the difference, for example, between a crustacean and a dolphin, or between a worm and a dog or cat. The spirit is subjected to evolution too; but the conscience it is not.
