Theos-Talk Archives (August 2001 Message tt00202)

Dear Dallas,

Does it necessarily hold that one should return to
Earth as a Homo sapien? Why cannot one continue its
evolution on some other planet in a physical being
that is, perhaps, more advanced than humans? Isn't
naive to think that all evolution takes place here on
Earth in physical bodies that we are aware of?

Regards,
Mic
