Unfortunately we are more degenerated than many evolving animals, who are pure and innocent in their instincts.
We once had powers after entering the humanoid kingdom, since this is the peak of animal evolution. But rather than transcending the state of animals with our intellect, we used our intellect to degenerate ourselves, thereby becoming worse than animals.
Animals obey mechanical nature, i.e. eating, sleeping, hunting, procreating, etc. We inherited these qualities when entering the humanoid kingdom for the first time. However, rather than using reason to comprehend our animal inheritance and to transcend it through internal revolution, we justified and amplified the magnitude of these behaviors, converting ourselves into demons.
We now have no other choice but to renounce these qualities and become human if we wish to escape the cycling and recycling of nature.
For thirty years I sought God. But when I looked carefully I found that in reality God was the seeker and I the sought. -Bayazid al-Bastami
