'What Necessity Decrees' offers an astounding new theory of
conscious evolution based on relationship. By defining the tensions of
increasing relating-awareness as the catalyst for man's emerging conscious
necessity, it explores the implications of relationship.
As it crystallizes
the essence of texts like the ancient Greek myths, the bible and the Arthurian
legends, it unlocks the code of human condition hidden in these scripts.
Thereby re-interpreting the story of conscious beginnings, it describes what
happens when the tensions and pain of this process are inappropriately
'resolved' by consecutive generations and how each new generation reflectes not
only the challenge itself but its various outcomes in lineage.
Based on 12
psychological archetypes the book then explains how in-divi-duality (internally
divided duality) moves further apart in every generation, thereby polarizing
the next one. Until biblical references like 'the sacrifice' and 'redemption of
sin' become understood as the signs of negatively resolved, conscious
evolution, that call for the full realisation of relationship.
I found this a quick read. It is
full of essay-like insights into relationships with some very interesting
points. The
writing style is heavy on long words and not the easiest to understand, but
Carola gets some of her good ideas across even though I found it a hard read
rather than an easy one.
