Here is something from Rumi, which seems to be a visionary precursor to the Evolutionary understanding we all enjoy nowadays...
How far you have come!
Originally, you were clay. From being mineral, you became vegetable. From vegetable, you became animal, and from animal, man. During these periods man did not know where he was going, but he was taken on a long journey nonetheless. And you have to go through a hundred different worlds yet. - Jalaludin Rumi.
I find this quite remarkable, considering it was envisaged about 800 years before the Darwinian conception.
Hope you all find it useful.

The break-off is real, and what is being bombed and blown up outside are actual symbols of interior fears." - Joseph Campbell
