Evolution is defined as the faculty possessed by all substances capable of self-nourishment of manifesting the nutritive acts by changes of form, of volume, or of structure. The many facets of evolution involve the development and growth of all aspects of existence for a species. Physical, mental, emotional and of course, spiritual.
Many of the realms that exist are beyond human comprehension as our evolutionary advancements have not yet reached it's peak. There are many dimensions that are not available to use at our discretion as our eyes and souls have not yet ascended to that level.
The lower realms however, are completely and wholly within our line of sight, though we do not always comprehend their existence. Plants, bugs and animals dwell in a completely different realm than ourselves due to their lower level of consciousness. A plant has no comprehension of love, lust, greed or technology even though it is a living, breathing organism. Their anatomy is vastly different than that of a human beings, but it still maintains a life force and the basic biology of life.
A fish swims contentedly within its known environment, unaware and unable to mentally comprehend a reality on a dry terrain. These oblivious creatures exist completely in their own world, within their own understanding, incapable of higher thought and complex ideas.
These realms beneath us humans are within our vision and understanding because their consciousness is lower than our own. We see them for what they are, living beings at a state of lower awareness.
They respond to our advances simply by natural and instinctive stimuli. If you approach a fish swimming, the natural tendency is for the fish to swim away from you. Some fish may approach with curiosity, but lack the capacity to interact or form a complex thought or idea as to how to proceed with strategy. Based on gut instinct and thousands of years of evolutionary process, these lower consciousness creatures are barely aware of our existence.
A plant will respond to direct stimuli by moving itself away from an unpleasant application or will move toward or flourish when given a positive energy. A plant does not have access to a higher thought function, but it has awareness at a basic level.
An insect will instinctively move away from an approaching human finger or vibration. This is not due to a complex thought process, but of instinct to be wary of the unknown.
The same explanation can be applied to us when trying to explain
